Looking for an over-the-top custom pool home in the coveted Estates of Wilds Plantation? You’ve found it. Crafted by renowned builder Tommy Waters, this exceptional residence blends timeless design with refined luxury, offering a level of craftsmanship and detail rarely found in new construction. From the moment you step inside, a grand foyer with soaring 16-foot cathedral ceilings sets the tone, opening into an expansive living space designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Natural light pours in while thoughtful architectural details create an immediate sense of scale and sophistication. At the heart of the home is a show-stopping kitchen, an inspired space where form meets function. Walls of custom cabinetry frame a massive center island crowned with a striking slab of Cambria quartz, while a high-end appliance suite with a gas range, along with a discreetly tucked-away walk-in pantry, ensures the kitchen is as practical as it is beautiful. The living room is nothing short of breathtaking, anchored by a dramatic fireplace wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tile and accented by rich wood built in shelving and ceiling beams. A wall of sliding glass doors disappears completely into the wall, creating a seamless indoor–outdoor living experience that defines Florida luxury. Just off the kitchen, the dining room is framed by walls of dramatic picture windows. Layers of raised ceilings with detailed crown molding add architectural depth and an unmistakable sense of elegance. The thoughtfully designed three-way split floor plan offers both privacy and comfort. All four bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms and spacious, fully built-out closets. The primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a walk-in shower with bench seating and rainfall shower heads, and a beautiful soaking tub. Two oversized walk-in closets, including one with a center island, complete this retreat. Step outside to your private outdoor sanctuary. The expansive covered lanai features a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and overlooks the resort-style pool and spa, all set within a private, fenced backyard, perfect for entertaining or unwinding in total comfort. Additional highlights include a spacious laundry room with built-in desk area, a convenient drop zone just off the three-car garage, and a well-appointed half bath for guests. This is more than a home, it’s a statement of luxury living in one of Gainesville’s most sought-after communities.
