This fully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence in Royal Highlands hits that sweet spot of both tucked away and connected, perfectly. Sitting on nearly half an acre (.45) in a no-flood zone, the property offers a sense of space and freedom you won't find in a standard subdivision, especially with no HOA to worry about. Inside, the 1,152-square-foot floorplan is filled with natural light, creating a bright and airy atmosphere that makes the home feel even larger. Significant updates, including a brand-new roof installed in 2023, provide peace of mind for years to come. You'll also find a 16x12 detached building on the property, which is ideal for a workshop or extra storage for outdoor gear. The location is a dream for anyone who loves the Florida outdoors. You're only 15 minutes from Weeki Wachee Springs State Park for paddling through crystal-clear waters or visiting Swampfest. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate being less than 20 minutes from the world-class Cabot Citrus Farms, while those who enjoy trail riding are just 25 minutes from the 2,600 acres of ATV trails at Withlacoochee State Forest. Despite the rural feel, the Suncoast Parkway makes for an easy trip to nearby hubs-you can be in Tampa in about an hour, Ocala in an hour, or Orlando in 90 minutes. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy a quiet, updated home with plenty of room to breathe while staying close to everything that makes this region special.
