Virtually Staged. Welcome to the timeless beauty and distinctive lifestyle of River Wilderness, one of Parrish’s most established gated communities. Set on an extraordinary .76-acre homesite, this former model home offers something increasingly rare: space, privacy, mature landscaping and a true sense of arrival. Towering oaks, palms and lush tropical plantings frame the property, creating a peaceful retreat with exceptional curb appeal. Across the street, enjoy picturesque views of the pond and golf course, while the oversized lot provides a wonderful buffer from neighboring homes. Inside, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is filled with architectural character. Soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, arched openings and abundant windows give the home warmth, dimension and natural light. Generous living and dining spaces are ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, with an easy flow from room to room. A fireplace anchors the main gathering space, while multiple sitting and dining areas add flexibility. The kitchen has been refreshed with crisp white cabinetry, countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens and abundant storage. Nearby, a breakfast area and formal dining space make entertaining effortless. A separate office or flex space with a vaulted ceiling and wood beams offers an inspiring place to work from home, read or create. The primary suite is spacious and serene, with direct access to a private atrium that brings the outdoors in. The home features two separate atriums, each creating its own intimate open-air escape for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Additional bedrooms are generously sized, and the baths retain distinctive architectural details that reflect the home’s original model-home character. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. The screened pool and spa are surrounded by tropical greenery, offering privacy and a resort-like atmosphere just steps from the main living areas. A long covered lanai provides abundant space for dining, lounging and entertaining, while the expansive backyard is framed by mature oaks, palms and lush landscaping. Whether hosting friends, relaxing by the pool or enjoying the shade of the trees, this home was designed for an indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle. River Wilderness itself is part of the appeal. This gated community spans approximately 1,500 acres with abundant green space, lakes, walking and biking paths and a peaceful, established setting along the Manatee River. Residents enjoy a community boat ramp, RV and boat storage opportunities, scenic surroundings and miles of sidewalks for walking. There is no CDD. Membership at The Club at River Wilderness is optional, allowing residents to choose the lifestyle that fits them best. Club offerings include championship golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness and dining. Conveniently located in growing Parrish with access to I-75, River Wilderness offers an ideal balance of privacy and connection to the Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and Tampa areas. This is not a cookie-cutter home or lot. It is a rare opportunity to own a former model on an exceptionally large homesite, surrounded by mature Florida beauty, with a pool, spa, two atriums and the character that only an established community can offer. Come experience the space, serenity and lifestyle that make River Wilderness so special.
