It is clear to see while walking around the home that the owner took great pride in ownership.Citrus County, famously known as The Nature Coast, is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. This area is celebrated for its pristine coastlines, protected estuaries, and rich natural habitats. The county is home to four beautiful springs, which play a crucial role in preserving the local environment. These springs contribute to creating a unique and protected ecosystem, making Citrus County the "Manatee Capital of the World." The warm, clear waters of the springs serve as a sanctuary for manatees, especially during the colder months when they seek refuge in the consistent temperatures. This protected environment not only supports the thriving manatee population but also offers residents and visitors a chance to experience the beauty and tranquility of Florida's natural wonders. If you are a hiking or cycling enthusiast, there are miles and miles of bike trails including the Withlacoochee trail nearby. You are also close to Rainbow River State Park where you will be enjoying swimming, kayaking and tubing. You won’t be disappointed—call and book your appointment today!
