Description
Welcome to your lakeside legend on Lake Thonotosassa, the largest natural lake in Hillsborough County, spanning more than 819 acres of sparkling freshwater beauty. This nearly 2.5-acre private estate is a handcrafted log-cabin masterpiece, surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes yet offering unmatched freedom and privacy. Inside, you’ll find six bedrooms and five baths, soaring vaulted ceilings, and walls of hand-finished wood that glow with natural warmth and timeless craftsmanship. A newly added full kitchen on the first floor creates flexibility, ideal for multi-generational living, private guest quarters, or a short-term rental setup with no HOA and no rental restrictions. The pool area was completely remodeled and lifted, adding a new sun shelf and a secure retaining wall for long-term stability. A second, separate planter retaining wall was installed previously, paired with an underground drainage system that keeps the property pristine and ideally graded. Though the pool sits privately to the rear, you’ll enjoy lake views from every front window, balcony and porch, as sunrise and sunsets over the water never gets old. A waterfall and stream flow gracefully alongside the home, leading to a tranquil Koi pond that completes the peaceful, resort-style ambiance. Across the street on your private lakefront parcel, a cabana with fire pit and outdoor kitchen sets the stage for unforgettable gatherings. The estate is self-sustained with a septic system and new water purification setup, meaning no water or sewer bills. Inside, treat yourself and your guests to the enormous, elegant Turkish bath, a luxurious retreat worthy of a boutique spa. A three-car detached garage shelters your adult-toy investments such as boats, bikes and jet skis, while 10-plus parking spaces between the garage, pads and custom carport ensure room for every guest. Just minutes from USF, top-tier medical centers, Tampa International Airport and Tampa Stadium, you’ll have the most modern conveniences within easy reach yet feel like you’re living in the quiet country, surrounded by water, wildlife and wide-open skies. Every detail of this property blends artistry with utility, luxury with freedom and comfort with opportunity, all set on the shimmering shores of Lake Thonotosassa, where Florida living feels wild, warm and wonderfully alive.
