The space
The BRAND NEW River Oak Bungalow is truly one of a kind, a rare property preserved with 250 year old winding oak trees and whispering palms. Our architect designed the home with 3 of the large oak trees soaring through the roof & walls, with hundreds of other native trees throughout the estate. This bungalow is immersed in abundant greenery, vines, pineapples, ferns, and countless hanging house plants. The expansive backyard measures nearly 200' long with room for family activities, games, or even a wedding!

This private estate features a 2,400 SF Single Family Home/Estate situated on a rare slice of paradise located on the Indian River Lagoon. There are 4 Bedrooms & 2.5 Bathrooms with abundant common areas to enjoy the brand new coastal modern charm. There are 3 patios/decks to choose from, with 1 being a private porch only accessible via master suite, the 2nd being a floating wood deck along the main entrance, and the 3rd being a massive 60' x 30' raised wood deck (1/2 covered & 1/2 open air) with seating to accommodate 12 at the outdoor dining table and chairs/couches for 12+ more.
