There are hundreds of homes in River Wilderness. There are only 14 villas.

And one of them is now available.

Offered at $350,000, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath villa offers something increasingly difficult to find ā€” the privacy and security of an established gated golf community without requiring a golf membership.

Step out back and the view opens to a peaceful pond and the first hole of the River Wilderness golf course. Walk just a few steps and you're at the private pool shared exclusively by the villa residents. The Country Club is close by, yet when you come home, the setting feels remarkably quiet.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated with ceramic plank tile throughout, black granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. The third bedroom is currently configured as a den and office, giving the next owner the flexibility to use the space however it fits their lifestyle. A 2021 roof adds another important piece of value.

And because these villas were designed in pairs, you're attached to only one neighboring residence.

Beyond the villa itself, River Wilderness offers 24-hour manned gated security, an optional golf and country club lifestyle, and access to the Manatee River through the community boat launch.

Rare by design. Relaxed by nature.

At $350,000, this isn't simply an opportunity to buy a villa in Parrish.

It's an opportunity to own one of only 14 in River Wilderness.

Fifty years in real estate says something.
But fifty years of trust says even more.

Since 1976, Leslie Wells has been part of the fabric of Manatee County helping buyers, sellers, families, and investors navigate one of the biggest decisions theyā€™ll ever make.

What started with local roots has grown into something remarkable:

Thousands of buyers and sellers served.
More than $1 billion in sales volume over the last 10 years.
And a culture still built around relationships, experience and doing the job the right way.

That kind of longevity doesnā€™t happen by accident.

It happens when people come back.
When they refer their friends.
When generations of families trust the same name.
And when a brokerage continues to evolve without forgetting where it came from.

Local roots. Lasting results.

Hereā€™s to 50 years of serving Manatee County ā€” and to a stronger tomorrow.

A new season. A new game plan.

Every football season starts with the same goal: prepare well, execute the plan, make adjustments when needed, and finish strong.

Real estate works much the same way.

Whether youā€™re buying or selling, success rarely comes from one big moment. It comes from strategic pricing, strong negotiation, clear communication, and having the right team beside you from kickoff to closing.

The market changes. Conditions shift. The game plan may need adjusting.

But the fundamentals donā€™t.

Preparation. Strategy. Ex*****on. Results.

As Tampa Bay kicks off another season, weā€™ll be doing what we do every day ā€” helping our clients make the right moves and get across the goal line.

Different era. Same mindset.

šŸˆ Go Bucs.

Some places are easy to sell.
Others are easy to love.

Thereā€™s something about living here thatā€™s hard to explain until youā€™ve experienced it.

The sunsets.
The water.
The neighborhoods tucked between old Florida and everything new thatā€™s coming.
The feeling that even an ordinary drive home can remind you why you chose this place in the first place.

This is more than a market to us. Itā€™s home. And thatā€™s why helping someone buy or sell here means more than putting together a transaction. It means helping people make decisions about where their lives are going to happen next.

Local knowledge. Real estate experience. A place weā€™re proud to call home.

The best part of resort-style living may be knowing you donā€™t have to be ā€œonā€ all the time.

At 17631 Camden Dr in Del Webb Lakewood Ranch, you can spend the day enjoying the clubhouse, fitness center, resort pool, pickleball, social events, waterfront dining and everything else this community is known forā€¦

ā€¦and then come home to something completely different.

Quiet.

A peaceful water view.
An extended paver lanai.
A comfortable villa designed for easy Florida living.
A place where the day can slow down when youā€™re ready for it to.

With 2 bedrooms plus a den, 2 baths, 1,458 square feet and a 2-car garage, this home offers the flexibility to stay active, entertain, work from homeā€”or simply enjoy doing absolutely nothing for a while.

Because sometimes the perfect active-adult lifestyle isnā€™t about having something to do every minute.

Itā€™s about having the choice.

The lifestyle is close.
The quiet is closer.

A change is coming to the appraisal process and sellers should know about it before they list it.

Beginning November 2, 2026, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are moving to a more detailed appraisal reporting standard known as UAD 3.6.

For homeowners, the important part is this. Appraisers will be collecting and reporting more detailed information about the property, its condition, and its features.

That means accurate information and good documentation may matter more than ever. When I prepare a home for market, I donā€™t want the appraiser trying to piece together important details after the fact. I want the relevant information organized, verified, and ready to present to the Appraiser.

Upgrades.
Major improvements.
Permits when applicable.
Property features.
Comparable market evidence.

The goal is to make sure the property is accurately represented and important information isnā€™t overlooked. Better preparation creates fewer surprises and in todayā€™s market, that matters.
