Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. There's a particular kind of morning that belongs only to Florida — the kind that arrives softly, filtering through high windows which were replaced in 2010 with double pane and spilling across an open floor plan before the day has fully decided what it wants to be. Imagine yourself rising in the mornings, coffee in hand, with an unobstructed view from the living room opening ahead to a glistening pool just beyond the glass, calling your name - come - enjoy me - this is your new home. With a fresh coat of interior paint, a NEW ROOF installed in 2026 and newer HVAC, Duct Work and Water Heater installed in 2024, this 3/2/3 pool home sits on nearly half an acre in the heart of Rainbow Springs Country Club Estates — one of Dunnellon's most beloved communities. Designed for those who understand that a home should breathe, the soaring ceilings lift the interior into something relaxing, drawing in light and air in equal measure. Sight lines flow naturally from the kitchen through the living room and out to the pool, so the home never closes in on itself. It opens. It exhales. Step through the back and onto the screened lanai — a generous, shaded retreat with room for an outdoor dining and the kind of unhurried evenings that make you forget that the world has other things you can do - you just want to sit here and enjoy every moment. The pool invites you in; the enclosure keeps the bugs out. Ceiling fans stir the warm air. Dinner out here in January feels like a gift you keep giving yourself. And then - you give yourself another gift - the Rainbow River! Here, you'll hold exclusive access to the community's private owners' park on the Rainbow River, complete with covered pavilions, BBQ grills, a designated swimming area, and a kayak and canoe launch. The Rainbow River's spring-fed, crystal-clear waters are yours to paddle, float, or simply sit beside on a quiet afternoon. Beyond the river, the community amenities read like a resort: a fully equipped clubhouse with a fitness center and billiards room, a resort-style pool, pickleball and tennis courts, basketball, disc golf, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a driving range, and a restaurant — open most weekends with live music on the patio al fresco. Scenic walking paths trace the former golf course, and the Dunnellon Rails-to-Trails path and botanical gardens are just minutes away. All of this arrives with a remarkably low monthly HOA fee. Everyday essentials are close at hand — grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and everyday shopping keep life running smoothly without ever requiring a long drive. From this front door, the best of North and Central Florida unfolds in every direction — Ocala's horse country and the World Equestrian Center 25 minutes east, Crystal River's manatee springs 30 minutes west, Inverness and the Withlacoochee wilderness just south, and when the moment calls for something grander, Tampa's airport, Orlando's theme parks, and both coasts' beaches all within easy reach. This is the life Florida has always promised — open skies, clean water, a home that catches the morning light — and it's all here, waiting for you to make it your own special oasis.
