Are you longing for a taste of country life amidst your busy day? Imagine driving past horses and cows on your winding road or taking a stroll to the Caloosahatchee River to catch the sunset. If this sounds appealing, 17190 Serengeti Circle might be just what you're looking for. As soon as you enter the gated community, you are welcomed by a pair of lions and an elephant, making it clear that Serengeti stands apart from other subdivisions in the area. There are only 17 homes at Serengeti, each situated on approximately one acre of land, this community offers a unique living experience. Most homes at Serengeti serve as primary residences. This bright and immaculate luxury smart home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a den—ideal for escaping the hustle and bustle while remaining close to conveniences. Babcock Ranch, with its shopping, restaurants, health and wellness facilities, and entertainment options, is just 15 minutes away. The charming and historic vibe of Fort Myers is about 25 minutes away. The W.P. Franklin locks with a boat ramp is only a 5-minute drive, offering easy access for your boating adventures. Upon entering the foyer, you’ll be greeted by soaring cathedral ceilings, stainless steel appliances, and ample space for entertaining. The neutral color scheme combined with designer fixtures creates an inviting palette, perfect for making the space your own. The split floor plan ensures privacy and comfort, with two of the bedrooms featuring ensuite bathrooms, while the third bathroom is conveniently located next to the third bedroom. Enjoy the serene setting of 17190 Serengeti’s lakefront screened-in lanai, complete with a heated pool and hot tub/spa—perfect for relaxation as you watch fish jump in the pond. Two lounge chairs, shaded by an umbrella resting in the water, offer a delightful spot to unwind. Additionally, a 2-car garage with a separate golf cart garage provides ample storage for your water and fishing toys, bicycles, and motorcycles. You have the option to maintain the landscaping yourself or collaborate with the onsite landscaping crew. Your home’s front exposure faces a preserve area, home to resident hawks, owls, and osprey. Don’t let this opportunity slip away if this sounds like your ideal Southwest Florida lifestyle!
