Property Description
Discover one of Gainesville’s most extraordinary hidden gems — a custom-built John Van Mills pool home tucked away on 2.5+ acres in Shands Woods, less than a mile from the University of Florida. Perched high above protected Hogtown Creek wetlands and surrounded by untouched preserve land, this 6–7 bedroom residence offers exceptional privacy, timeless architecture and a true connection to nature. Step inside and you’re immediately welcomed by a dramatic two-story great room with cedar batten-and-board walls and a stunning wood-burning Spade stone fireplace that evokes the feeling of a mountain lodge. Walls of windows invite in natural light and frame elevated views of the surrounding preserve — no neighbors in sight. The main level delivers both comfort and elegance with a formal living room with bay windows, a formal dining room with custom built-ins, and a spacious island kitchen with double ovens, eat-in breakfast area, and French doors that open to the pool — creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The serene primary suite overlooks the pool and wooded backyard and features a spa-style bath with split vanities, walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a unique indoor terrarium. Upstairs, five additional bedrooms, a large office, and a versatile game room (possible seventh bedroom) provide plenty of room for family, guests and creative work. Two bedrooms include private en suite baths; the others share a large dual-vanity bathroom with jetted tub/shower. A private deck overlooking the pool is accessed from both a bedroom and the game room, while a spiral staircase offers quick access down to the laundry room. Outside, your private oasis awaits. Enjoy a 30,000-gallon pool surrounded by lush landscaping, total privacy, and your own staircase down to Hogtown Creek. With protected wetlands on the property line and no HOA, this home offers unmatched peace and lifelong seclusion — yet remains just minutes from UF, Shands Hospital, the VA and downtown Gainesville. Meticulously maintained with a NEW roof (2024), water heaters (2022), fresh interior/exterior paint, and new flooring in most living areas, this home is the perfect blend of classic design and modern convenience. Looking for space, privacy and a location near UF? This one-of-a-kind Gainesville retreat is truly a must-see— schedule your private tour today.
