PRIVATE NATURE HIDEAWAY! FLANKED BY CONSERVATION LAND! Escape to the tranquility of nature in this unique custom three-level stilt home, nestled on five wooded acres. Originally built by a renowned bird illustrator and later willed to the Nature Conservancy, this extraordinary property is now privately owned and bordered by more than seventy acres of conservation land, ensuring your natural sanctuary remains forever preserved. The home’s architectural character shines through its heavy wood-frame construction set on solid concrete pillars, topped with a galvalume metal roof and solar panels for exceptionally low electric bills. The property offers unique outdoor living with a detached wood deck and bar for entertaining, a separate guest house, firepit, and meandering nature trails surrounded by native trees and wildlife. The lower level of the home provides flexible space for parking, hobbies, or storage, complete with a workshop, and a rustic bath with private outdoor shower. The main level offers an expansive open concept living area featuring a cozy fireplace with 85” tv, chic chef’s kitchen, large bedroom, guest bath, and an additional room perfect for dining, office space, or third bedroom. This level is surrounded by a screened wraparound porch on all sides, blending indoors and outdoor living in a serene natural setting. The upper level features an oversized family or game room, large laundry, and private master suite. The open wraparound deck provides multiple seating areas, including space for the hot tub, and invites relaxation among the treetops. Designed for comfort, creativity, and connection with nature, this remarkable home offers the rare opportunity to live privately amid a truly natural Florida landscape. Property is located in the SW Florida rural Muse area of Glades County with a LaBelle address. This rural location is in the country but only 40 minutes from downtown Fort Myers, 1 hour from Naples, and 2 hours from the Miami area for easy and quick access to your own private Hideaway!
