Nestled in Shands Woods, one of Gainesville’s best-kept secrets, this custom-built John Van Mills home sits on over 2.5 acres, seamlessly blending privacy, nature, and convenience—all less than a mile from the University of Florida. Overlooking Hogtown Creek on a secluded lot, this home is a true retreat. Inside, the breathtaking two-story family room features soaring cedar batten and board walls, evoking the warmth of a mountain lodge. A wood-burning Spade stone fireplace serves as the heart of the space, perfect for cozy gatherings or quiet relaxation. The first floor also boasts a formal living room with bay windows overlooking Hogtown Creek, a formal dining room with built-in cabinetry and picturesque outdoor views, a spacious kitchen, and the primary suite. The kitchen includes a double oven, cooktop, center island, and a generous eat-in dining area that opens through French doors to the pool. The first-floor primary suite is a peaceful retreat with views of the wooded yard and pool. Its spa-like bathroom features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, split vanities, and a unique terrarium that brings nature indoors. Upstairs, you'll find five spacious bedrooms, a large office, and a dedicated game room. Two bedrooms have private en suite baths, while the remaining three share a well-sized bath with dual vanities and a shower/jetted tub. One bedroom and the game room open onto a private deck overlooking the pool, while the others enjoy scenic views of the creek and preserve. A spiral staircase from the game room leads to the laundry room. The game room also offers versatility, serving as a potential seventh bedroom, playroom, hobby space, or quiet retreat. Outside, your private oasis awaits—a 30,000-gallon pool surrounded by lush landscaping and total seclusion. A staircase leads to Hogtown Creek, where protected wetlands ensure lifelong privacy—you’ll never have front-door neighbors. This home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, featuring new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, a new roof (2024), and water heaters (2022). Completely move-in ready, it offers both timeless charm and modern upgrades. Located in the sought-after, no-HOA enclave of Shands Woods, this home offers the best of both worlds—a serene, natural setting just minutes from UF, downtown, Shands, and the VA. Experience the beauty, tranquility, and uniqueness of this exceptional home. Schedule your showing today!
