Showcase Properties of Central Florida

Two thousand ninety five square feet, and the layout is the reason it lives bigger than that 🌞

Split bedroom plan, so the primary sits at one end of the house and the guest rooms at the other. The kitchen opens to the living space and the dining area, the screened porch and pool run along the back, and the covered patio with the summer kitchen sits off the far end.

Swipe through and you can place each room on the plan. Full interactive floor plan tour:

From Ocala to the Breeders’ Cup!🏇✨

We’re excited to share this feature from Thoroughbred Daily News highlighting Bacio and the team behind his remarkable journey—including our very own Valerie Dailey!

Bred by a close-knit partnership that includes Valerie, Bacio has already taken his connections on an unforgettable ride, with victories at Royal Ascot and in the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York. Now, he’s headed to the Breeders’ Cup! 🏆

Valerie shares in the interview that after more than 40 years in the business, Bacio is her first Grade 1 winner—a special milestone made even better by sharing the experience with longtime friends and partners.

Read the full story from Thoroughbred Daily News and watch the video here:

In 2022, two friends formed a spontaneous breeding partnership. Now, they're sending their first Grade I winner to the Breeders' Cup.

This one was a vacation rental before it was a listing 🏠

The previous owners ran it as a VRBO, and the setup is largely still in place. Four bedrooms with a split layout, plus a murphy bed in a flex room with its own storage, so the sleeping capacity runs higher than the bedroom count suggests. Two full baths. A kitchen with seating for four at the island and two more eating areas beyond it.

For a buyer looking at a second home on the water, that's worth knowing. A house that can carry part of its own cost is a different conversation
than a house that can't.

Rental rules vary between the county and the city, and the state has its own licensing. Any buyer planning on that use should verify both before
writing an offer.

2178 N Watersedge Drive, Crystal River. $799,000. Listing link in the comments.

Every waterfront buyer asks the same thing first. How far is it to open water?🌊

Off the dock, down the private canal, out to King's Bay and the Crystal River.

Manatees, springs, scalloping, inshore fishing, kayaking and birding,
all from the same back yard.

2178 N Watersedge Drive, Crystal River. $799,000, four bedrooms, two baths, private dock with a 10,000 pound lift. No HOA.

The dock is the reason this one moves ☀

Six by sixteen with a 10,000 pound lift, plus a floating dock and a concrete seawall. Boat in the water in minutes. No trailer, no ramp line on a Saturday morning in October.

Back from the water there's a screen enclosed pool with solar and electric heat, and a covered summer kitchen under the pergola with a grill, sink, and bar seating for five. It looks like the first photo most nights.
