The lanai is screened, so you can open all the doors and leave them open. On the other side of the house, guests can gather in what Hanson calls the “river” family room where you feel almost as if you’re sitting in the river. His and her walk-in closets, dual sinks, a water closet, a soaking tub and a shower in the bathroom add to the size and ambiance. The expansive primary suite is spacious enough for a lovely seating area overlooking the pool and river.

The owners were very thoughtful when they built the home, says Hanson, noting the attention to detail – from the 12-foot ceilings to the crown molding and plentiful storage space. “It’s a great, split floorplan,” says Gretchen Hanson, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty realtor, noting that the den, cabana bath and primary suite are in the southern wing, while the guest bedrooms, family room, kitchen, laundry room, three-car garage and dining room are in the northern wing, providing complete privacy for the owners. When they step over the threshold, the living room at the center of the house is a cozy visiting area with a gas fireplace and views of the pool and river. With a spoil island offshore providing a bit of a buffer from the river traffic, you can enjoy your own personal sanctuary, and the positioning of the house allows for an unexpectedly long, southern view of the coastline.Īt the top of the drive, a lovely front porch offers an inviting spot to welcome guests. The home is set back from the street, adding to the private setting.

“Serene” and “tranquil” are the best words to describe the spectacular custom-built riverfront home at 1361 Indian Mound Trail in Castaway Cove.īuilt by Palm Coast Development, the British Colonial-style home features everything a family could want in these tropical environs.
