Step into your backyard and step into another world—a private nature sanctuary where the sounds of the city fade and the wild serenity of Florida comes alive. Beyond the sparkling pool and screened lanai, you’ll find what no other home in Valrico offers: direct access to a hidden hiking path, carved out lovingly by neighbors a few years ago. It winds through lush greenery, open preserves, and brings you face-to-face with Florida’s raw beauty—from sandhill cranes and egrets to deer, turtles, hawks, and the occasional otter. It’s not a backyard—it’s your personal safari trail, tucked behind a secure gate, yet alive with nature’s most captivating performances every morning and evening. Sip coffee with hummingbirds. Watch the sunset while herons glide across the sky. Let your kids explore real Florida, not through a screen, but just beyond the fence. This isn’t just a pool home. It’s a lifestyle. A retreat. A daily reminder that you made the right move.
