Tucked behind a ten-foot privacy fence with two gated entrances, this nearly 2.5-acre property offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility and opportunity within the sought-after Markham Woods Corridor. With no HOA and expansive grounds, the property provides the freedom to envision what comes next, whether creating a custom estate, adding substantial garage or collector-car space, or designing a detached studio, workshop or private retreat. The property currently includes a three-bedroom, two-bath residence of approximately 1,800 square feet, along with a detached two-car garage, all surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaping. Both structures are sold as-is with representations or warranties and are not considered in the price of the property. Two man-made ponds, complete with fountains and stocked with fish, create picturesque focal points throughout the grounds. For those who envision the property differently, their apparently non-jurisdictional status may also provide the flexibility to fill the ponds and reclaim the area for other uses, subject to verification and applicable requirements. Comprised of two separate parcels, the property offers additional versatility for future use and improvement. Its location further distinguishes the opportunity, positioned along the desirable Markham Woods Corridor and directly adjoining Heathrow, one of Central Florida’s premier guard-gated golf communities. For an even more extraordinary opportunity, the adjacent residence at 1063 Henley Downs Place in Heathrow is also available for purchase (MLS #O6435903). Acquiring both properties creates a rare, one-of-a-kind estate combining the distinguished Heathrow address and lifestyle of a guard-gated golf community with an expansive 2.5-acre backyard beyond the HOA boundary and free from Heathrow HOA regulations. The result is a combination virtually impossible to replicate within Heathrow: the privacy, security and amenities of the community paired with the freedom, flexibility and scale of private acreage.
