The Florida Birdhouse: A Nature Lover’s Paradise Florida’s natural beauty and tranquility await you at “The Florida Birdhouse” adjacent to a 65-acre preserve which is home to Osprey, Eagles, Herons and more. Views across marsh, mangroves and the Gulf of Mexico, accessible via Rocky Creek, provide opportunities to enjoy kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, fishing and more at this hideaway. Custom built by a master carpenter with distinctive artistic detailing throughout. Honduran mahogany, cypress wood and reclaimed heart pine from a 1926 historic property in Tampa were specifically selected and used extensively. A claw foot tub and pedestal sink were rescued from St. Petersburg’s iconic 1928 Don Cesar Hotel. The main level has an 8’ wide wood deck that wraps around the whole house for 360° views. The master bedroom has a balcony providing westerly birds eye views of the mangroves, creek, Gulf and Florida’s awesome sunsets each night! Upon crossing the bridge into the island, you are sure to feel as if you’ve entered your own private retreat. Located nearby are several parks and recreation areas and it is only a five minute drive from nearby downtown New Port Richey. This home is a model for energy efficiency. In addition to entirely new and energy efficient appliances throughout the home, this home is also powered by solar panels for the bulk of its energy and that system has 23 years left of a transferrable warranty. Flood insurance for this home is surprisingly low due to its elevation from sea level (Elevation certificate completed 2020). If privacy is important to you, then you will appreciate that this property sits at the end of a very low traffic dead end road behind an automatic gate. There is a second automatic gate at the driveway to the home that ensures there will be no vehicle or foot traffic on your property. Craftsman styling in perfect harmony with a rare piece of old Florida. Like the philosophy behind the craftsman tradition of marrying beauty and function, this home is both stunning and crafted to last for generations. You simply will not find another home like this one in Florida.
