This custom-designed home, built by Anchor Homes, is a warm and inviting, Florida Coastal-style luxury home that offers a tranquil setting on a 4.38-acre lot in The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch. The Forest at Hi Hat Ranch is a gated community offering only 54 homesites with no two homes the same. Set on one of the last lots toward the rear of the community, the inspired floor plan of this home takes full advantage of the natural beauty of the land and its peaceful sceneries with all main living areas viewing the pool, lanai, and the lush surroundings this location offers. The exterior doors in the main areas of the home open to create a seamless indoor-outdoor Florida living experience. The home’s centerpiece is the spacious and inviting kitchen, great room, and dining area, featuring wood coffered ceilings in the kitchen, wood beams in the great room, custom hickory wood flooring (throughout the home) and a gas decorative fireplace.
