Welcome to Horse Creek - one of SWFL's only remaining old Florida-style gated communities nestled on the Orange River. Enjoy peace & serenity here without sacrificing everyday life conveniences. Sitting on a sprawling 1 acre lot, this custom built Hardie Plank home with all hurricane impact doors and windows features a 2,254 sq. ft. outbuilding finished with epoxy floors that is ready for your RVs, boats, or car collection. Drive your cars or toys directly onto the included oversized drive-on car lift, and enjoy a breeze through the outbuilding while working by opening the additional rear garage door. The wraparound concrete pad behind the outbuilding offers even more space for storage and workspace. If that’s not enough for you, the epoxy floor 4-car attached garage on the home has a full-height storage space above it accessible via pull-down attic ladder. Two of the four attached garage bays are air-conditioned, and feature an EV charging outlet, along with an air-conditioned office or hobby space and full 3rd bathroom located in the garage. The interior of the home features 3 carpeted bedrooms with walk-in closets, a den with laminate flooring, and 2 full bathrooms. The kitchen showcases granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a built-in cooktop with vented stainless steel hood, as well as a double oven microwave combo. A reverse osmosis filter ensures the purest water both at the fridge and secondary kitchen faucet. This home is easy to take care of with tile throughout the main living areas, and an epoxy concrete lanai under cover. With plenty of room for a pool, outdoor kitchen, or anything your heart desires, this home is ready for your custom backyard touch. Horse Creek sits on 220 acres of natural splendor with 113 home sites and approximately 100 acres of oak hammocks and lakes. The 12-acre riverside community park is dog-friendly, and includes a fishing dock, covered picnic tables, a fire-pit, and a playground with swings and slides. You can easily store your kayak or canoe at the community park, and explore the Orange River. Many residents own boats and RVs stored in their private outbuildings. For the more serious boater, the nearby Sweetwater Landing Marina on SR 31 offers dry and wet boat storage, as well as concierge launching facilities. Horse Creek is very convenient to I-75 at just 3 miles from the highway, and is surrounded by excellent, close-by area amenities like numerous award winning healthcare facilities, an endless array of restaurants both on the Caloosahatchee river and in downtown Fort Myers, as well as unbeatable quick access to Southwest Florida International Airport. This home sits in FLOOD ZONE X - flood insurance not required!
