Imagine living in an all cypress and heart pine home high in granddaddy oaks. This is a fabulous architectural copy of the ancient Panamanian homes that are built on stilts to take advantage of prevailing winds. The main house has a stunning owner's suite in addition to a second bedroom and study/office with breathtaking views. There is a spiral staircase to a spacious loft overlooking the living/dining room. The large, eat-in gourmet kitchen has Brazilian granite and a pantry for the serious chef. Enter the main house by an elevator or up the stairs onto a multi-level deck that joins the main house to the guest house with its two bedrooms and bath flanked by a wall of glass overlooking the prairie. The home has solar voltaic power for living off the grid and a new roof is being installed. There is a pond, fenced garden, greenhouse, workshop, stalls and lots of paths through the endless acres of woods in the surrounding Split Rock conservation area. 12 acres in the heart of Gainesville and only 15 minutes to the University of Florida!
