Florida Charm Minifarm🐓 HotTub-POOL-Chickens! Near I75, I275. Pets, trailers OK

Bless your heart and soothe your soul! Here's a hidden retreat, an escape to Old Florida charm, with a lot of space to unwind.

This is a mini-farm in the making, with friendly funny begging for treats and rewarding us with farm fresh eggs daily! Lush Tropical landscaping is the backdrop for this idyllic escape, and plans for a future food forest are forming.

After a day at the beach or fishing, take a dip in the POOL, relax in the HOT TUB, or sway in a hammock under the oaks, while the kids thrill in the tree swings.
Play horseshoes, kickball, or volleyball. Build a bonfire, make s'mores. Order homemade Sangria from your host, grill up some steaks, then turn up the music and have your own patio dance party. A starry sky is the limit!

Why stay at a cookie-cutter rental, when you can treat yourself to an experience? This is the escape you are looking for.

OUTDOORS GALORE!

You will have plenty of privacy with your own front yard, extra long driveway and carport, outdoor screened lanai, and a pet fence and/or extra large dog crate can be set up on property if needed.
