CHRIS'S TAKE
Imagine driving down your private one lane road to your new custom built 3 car garage home less than 3 years old on 1.69 acres hidden in the forest in Mandarin. Close to major roads yet in a nature area with birds chirping and small animals. Many unique trees on the property I'll list at the end. The home has been storing electricity in the Tesla Power Wall all day waiting for your return. This net zero eco friendly home was built to be as low cost as possible. See the HERS Rating Certificate in Documents showing zero energy home. Over 400 SF of storage upstairs above the garage, no basements in Florida so this is terrific. Other months in the winter your JEA bill will be less than $100. See the sustainable features listed in Documents. Please read further in MORE information. Home is now vacant. Enter in showing time and go and show. See the sustainable features listed on the attached documents including the high efficiency appliances which includes a heat pump dryer, heat pump water heater and induction cooktop. Amazing water quality comes from an artesian well and many months you will have a credit from JEA. All the conveniences of a modern home and in a private setting unheard of in today's cookie cutter builder neighborhoods. There is a second upstairs area 36' x 12' that is partially finished and could easily have AC added that would be ideal for an artist or other hobby. It is now being used as storage. Downstairs there is the master bedroom and second bedroom that is being used as an office with no closet. Sellers have designed and cared for this home with extreme love and you can be the beneficiary. They hope the new owners will continue to support the Florida eco system so that nature will have a safe habitat. Native plants ground cover. No HOA. 16 SEER HVAC. Rain Barrels for water conservation. 9'+ high ceilings throughout. Trees include Maple, Gum, Oak, Holly, Pine, Chinaberry, Cherry and Cypress.
