Property Description

Welcome to Rainbow Springs Country Club Estates — where the river is always 72°, the sandhill cranes wander without apology, and ospreys pass overhead like they own the place - because honestly, they kind of do. And soon enough, you will too. From the moment you arrive, this home announces itself quietly — the thoughtfully tended landscaping that frames the entry, a new roof overhead (2023) that checks that box before you even ask, and a sense that someone here has truly loved this place well. Step inside, and warm hardwood floors carry you through the main living spaces — unhurried and easy — until the eye finds exactly what it was looking for: a straight, uninterrupted view through the home and out to the lanai, where the pool shimmers beyond the glass like a small, private zen space. Go ahead. Exhale. This is it. The spacious bedrooms offer cozy carpet, a calm sense of retreat, and walk-in closets in each. The primary suite is generous in the way it lets you choose — step out to the pool from your own private access, or linger a little longer. The guest bath and guest bedroom enjoy their own pool and lanai access too, which means everyone's happy and nobody's going the long way around. Outside, the screened lanai is cool shade and open sky at once — the kind of space that quietly collects the best hours of the day. The kitchen is ready for your personal touch, and with appliances replaced within the past couple of years, there's one less thing on your list. But your list, honestly? It's about to get very short. Because when you're not in the pool, your time will most likely be spent enjoying everything this remarkable community has to offer. Rainbow Springs Country Club Estates delivers a private river park on the world-famous Rainbow River — 72 degrees year-round — where residents swim, kayak, canoe, and simply be on the water. Cheers, the full-service restaurant nestled inside the Rainbow Springs Community Center, makes sure no one has to go far for a good meal and great conversation. Add a fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, bocce ball, disc golf, scenic walking trails, and a resort-style pool — all for an HOA fee of just $250/year — and you start to understand why people who find this place don't tend to leave. The former golf course paths belong to the cranes & deer, and as everyone else does - plenty of shortcuts to the river park and amenities, as well as your own leisure time. This is Florida the way Florida has been remembered for generations. Best of all, downtown Dunnellon is just a short drive and once you know it, you'll find reasons to go often — the historic Pennsylvania Avenue corridor with its antique shops, art galleries, and family-owned restaurants, including the beloved river-adjacent spots where you can dock a kayak and order lunch. Blue Run of Dunnellon Park brings a paved, mostly shaded trail along the river's edge perfect for morning walks, bikes, and the occasional otter sighting. Rainbow Springs State Park, minutes from your door, offers crystal-clear first-magnitude springs, botanical gardens, and manmade waterfalls that feel like a reward for simply showing up. And the 47-mile Withlacoochee State Trail is never far when the mood for open road strikes. This is not a home that needs convincing. It simply needs to be seen. Come on a morning when the light comes through the lanai first — you'll know there is something really special about this lovely home.
