8848 BOGAERT DRIVE GROVELAND FL 34736 MLS #O6403667

INTERIOR & EXTERIOR are being freshly painted…additional pictures to come. This is the quintessential neighborhood home, but down a country road on one full acre! Years ago, once part of the Florida Boys Ranch, this serene land was divided up among a large family. Rarely do these properties come on the market and at such a reasonable price point! After 40 years, this family is trading the peaceful life for a taste of the city! As I stood in the yard with the breeze sweeping across the neighboring pasture, the melodic hum of the cicadas, I asked “why?”. “Just a change they said.” The exact change YOU may be looking for, an escape, a slower pace, less rules…more animals! This beautiful part of Lake County is where Groveland “the city with natural charm” & Clermont “gem of the hills” seem to intertwine. A few minutes in either direction you have a change of address! This only adds to the everyday conveniences and daily commute. This home offers a large eat in kitchen with granite countertops and an island. A partition does a great job at defining the spaces while still keeping it open to the great room. The formal dining room and large bonus room gives you plenty additional square footage for your individual preferences and needs. A primary suite could easily be created if a first floor bedroom is needed. The floors are tile downstairs and brand new carpet is being installed on the stairwell and 2nd level. A trending 2026 neutral paint color was chosen and looks fantastic! The foyer staircase leads to upstairs with a soaring 20 ft ceiling. The natural light radiates through the windows with nature views in every direction. The original floor plan has a partially open loft to the left, which has been enjoyed over the years as a play area as well as a bedroom, the choice is yours! All of the bedrooms are tucked on the 2nd floor adding to the cozy lifestyle. Heading outside, sliding doors lead to a covered and screened lanai that spans the entire back of the home. Enjoy entertaining year round with plenty of room for your hand crafted dining table and large outdoor sectional! Add a pool, fire pit, corn hole and playground and you will still have room to run in this massive fenced backyard! Something worth mentioning is the angelic sunsets in this area. The skies are painted nightly in vivid orange, pink & purple, followed by the pitch black night sky full of stars! This home alone is great, but having the ability to add on, grow and create more on this land is truly a smart move financially. THE NEIGHBORING HOME ON 5 ACRES IS ALSO AVAILABLE & HITTING THE MARKET IN JULY! Both of these homes are owned by the same family and would be ideal for people looking to enjoy 6 acres together! Living here you have easy access to area state forests, horseback riding trails, and the popular Van Fleet Trail or West Orange Trail. The small downtown area of Groveland has been flourishing with delicious international cuisine, fireworks at Lake David & new community traditions popping up every year! Historic downtown Clermont is just up the road featuring local restaurants, farmers markets, festivals, and lakeside recreation for all ages. Check out the North & South Chain of Lakes for fishing, boating and water sports! A new filtration system was just installed on the well and all kitchen appliances convey!
