COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREA
Scenically situated on the outskirts of the city and close to I-95, the Lake Washington district is a beloved enclave of expansive, luxurious homesites. It's an area infused with just the right amount of country, around the corner from all your favorite city conveniences. The Willows is one of those off-the-beaten-path communities. An electric gate opens to winding roads, wooded habitats, trails, and sprawling equestrian properties with beautiful homes and barns. Bring your horses, boats, RVs, and ATVs! This down-home setting is thoughtfully designed for those with impeccable taste and an appreciation for the outdoors. The community's tennis and basketball courts are a plus, and owners have the privilege of a private, resident-only path to Lake Washington Park, offering a boat launch, a dock, a playground, picnic spots, and gorgeous sunsets. Enjoy great shopping, dining, and entertainment along the nearby, bustling Wickham Road and Eau Gallie Boulevard corridors. The King Center for the Performing Arts is a twelve-minute jaunt, presenting professional theatre and concert productions. All local schools are an eleven to fourteen-minute drive. High-tech companies like Northrop Grumman, the Harris Corporation, and Embraer are each less than twenty minutes. The Kennedy Space Center, Blue Origin, and SpaceX are about forty-five minutes. It's twenty minutes to the banks of the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean beaches!

LOOK OVER YONDER
This property encompasses a glorious 11.98 acres. The adjacent vacant 7 acres to the north is available for an additional $350,000. Purchase one plot or buy both, increasing the property's total domain to a vast 18.98 acres. Either way, you'll celebrate the incredible forested lands populated with wild turkeys, deer, and a bounty of birds. The 11.98 acres envelopes woodsy trails, a five-stall, cracker-style horse barn, two fenced paddocks, and a stunning modern farmhouse with a pool. The whole-house solar system keeps electricity costs down; the impact-rated windows radiate tons of natural light and protect the home during Florida storms; and the generator keeps the household up and running during and after inclement weather.
