285 Mill Pond Cove, Freeport, FL 32439 (MLS# 1002966)

Description

Exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, Truland-built home with an oversized 3-car garage in the highly desirable Buxton's Mills section of Hammock Bay. Situated on a spacious .49-acre lot, this property offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and resort-style living. The backyard is truly a private retreat with beautiful wooded views, a serene vegetation buffer, and plenty of room to enjoy every aspect of Florida living. Since purchasing the home less than two years ago, the current owners have transformed the outdoor space into an entertainer's dream. Enjoy the heated saltwater pool with fountain feature, relaxing 6-seater hot tub, gas-plumbed fire pit, and a fully fenced backyard complete with a solar-powered electronic metal gate. The extended paver driveway continues through the gate, providing additional parking and functionality. The backyard has also been cleared to allow space for a future detached garage, workshop, or custom outdoor addition -- ideal for car enthusiasts or anyone wanting a blank canvas for their dream setup. Additional landscaping enhancements include over a dozen palm trees, crepe myrtles, and mature shrubbery that create a lush, resort-style atmosphere you truly must see to appreciate. Inside, the kitchen is a chef's delight featuring a gas cooktop, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The beautifully designed bathrooms showcase upgraded tile work extending almost to the ceiling.

Supplements: Just off the garage entry, you'll find a stylish dry bar and convenient mudroom perfect for staying organized. Equipped with SMART home features, this home seamlessly blends modern convenience with peaceful natural surroundings. Located in the award-winning Hammock Bay community, residents enjoy an unmatched lifestyle with access to multiple resort-style pools, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, walking and biking trails, sports fields, dog parks, clubhouse amenities, general store, brewery, and community events throughout the year.
