There is a place in Dunnellon where the river runs clear as glass and holds at 72 degrees all year, and those who find it tend to stay. Rainbow Springs Country Club Estates is that place: winding, tree-shaded streets and a private residents' park on the Rainbow River, where you can swim, launch a kayak, or linger under the pavilions long after the afternoon has gone soft.
Closer to home, the community center offers a pool, fitness room, tennis, and pickleball, and the days have a way of filling themselves. This 2,199 Sq.Ft, 3/2/2 home's welcome begins before the door. Beautiful landscaping frames the approach, and then, one step inside, cascading ceilings rise overhead and the whole home seems to exhale.
The living and dining areas open toward a large lanai (equipped with a hot tub connection already in place) and such an inviting space, the greenery arranges itself like a row of living canvases. Inside the home, the split floor plan gives everyone their own quiet.
The primary suite feels set apart from the rest of the day, with two large walk-in closets and a soaking tub made for unhurried evenings. Across the home, two more bedrooms wait for guests or a home office, one with a walk-in closet of its own. In the kitchen, Corian countertops and a spacious breakfast bar are made for family gatherings.
For those who like to tinker, the two-car garage carries an additional bay for hobbies, a workshop, or the golf cart. Also, for additional peace of mind, the roof was replaced in 2024 and the HVAC system in 2019. This is a walking-friendly neighborhood, known for the kind of neighbors who yes - actually wave and say hello - and who you may learn their dog's name before you learn theirs.
KP Hole Park, with its boat ramp and kayak launch, is just minutes away, as is the Rainbow Springs private community river park. Rainbow Springs State Park is close by too, the easy answer when family comes to visit. Downtown Dunnellon's restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences are roughly 10 minutes away.
The World Equestrian Center is about 30 minutes, with historic downtown Ocala and its dining, shopping, and medical care just beyond. Gulf Coast waters are about an hour away, and the airports and theme parks of Tampa and Orlando are roughly an hour and a half to two hours by car.
