Description for 9796 SW Southern Dreams Road, Arcadia, FL, 34269
Log cabin in Florida? Yes… and it’s every bit as cool as it sounds. Tucked away on nearly six peaceful acres, this custom-built log cabin feels like a mountain getaway somehow dropped right into the Florida countryside. You get the quiet, the privacy, the wildlife, the pond, the pool… and you’re still just minutes from town. It’s the best of both worlds. The moment you pull up, the covered front porch sets the tone. This is the kind of place where mornings start with coffee outside and evenings end with nothing but the sounds of nature around you. Inside, the home opens up with soaring cathedral ceilings and a bright, airy living space that feels both cozy and grand at the same time. The open floor plan flows easily from the living area into the kitchen and dining space, making it perfect for everyday living or hosting friends and family. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, tons of prep space, and easy access to the dining area where double French doors lead straight out to the screened lanai. The layout includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a spacious primary suite that has its own private bathroom. The two guest bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath, making it a great setup for family or guests. There’s also a finished loft that adds extra flexible space… perfect for a home office, reading nook, or additional storage. Step outside and the fun really begins. The expansive screened lanai surrounds a heated pool with a newer salt cell generator, creating the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or cool off on those warm Florida days. Just beyond the pool you’ll find a stocked pond (tilapia) with its own dock, ideal for fishing, watching wildlife, or simply soaking in the peaceful views. Two storage sheds give you plenty of room for tools, toys, or hobbies. And the upgrades? This home is loaded with them. A whole-house reverse osmosis system, grinder pump septic system, newer well pressure tank, hurricane impact windows, and a durable metal roof all add to the quality and longevity of the property. And one thing worth mentioning… this is not a kit cabin. This is a true custom-built log home that was thoughtfully designed and built to stand out. If you’ve been dreaming of a private retreat where you can slow down, spread out, and enjoy the beauty of nature without sacrificing modern comforts… this might be the one. Welcome to your Florida log cabin escape.
