Property Description

Welcome to one of the most desirable and largest 5-bedroom homes in the highly sought-after Southshore Bay lagoon community in Wimauma, located within the rapidly growing Tampa Bay region. This exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to experience true resort-style Florida living with direct, unobstructed panoramic views of a stunning 5-acre crystal-clear lagoon, all within a short walk from your front door. Ideal for buyers seeking a luxury home with water views, relocation to Florida, or a high-demand lifestyle community. Built just two years ago with durable concrete block construction on both floors, this home provides superior structural integrity, energy efficiency, and long-term durability. Designed to withstand Florida’s climate, the property offers peace of mind and modern construction standards that today’s buyers prioritize. Situated within a gated community featuring elegant fountains and beautifully maintained surroundings, the property blends luxury, security, and lifestyle.
