Overview
The greatest luxury isn't the golf course lifestyle, the private pool, or even the beautiful lake views. It's the peace of mind that comes from knowing it's already done. No contractors. No remodeling projects. No surprise expenses. No wondering what will need updating next. Just arrive, unpack, and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle you've worked so hard to earn. Welcome to 8611 River Preserve Drive, a beautifully reimagined 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offering over 2,400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, a spacious 3-car garage, private heated pool and spa, and serene lake views within the highly sought-after River Strand Golf & Country Club. Following more than $300,000 in renovations and upgrades, nearly every major component of the home has been thoughtfully updated, creating something increasingly difficult to find in today's market: a truly move-in-ready luxury golf lifestyle. The heart of the home is a stunning, redesigned kitchen that opens seamlessly to the main living areas, creating the perfect setting for entertaining friends, hosting visiting family, or simply enjoying a quiet evening after a day on the course. Beautifully renovated bathrooms, updated flooring throughout, hurricane-impact windows and doors, upgraded lighting and fixtures, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated appliances, panoramic lanai screens, pool improvements, and a newer HVAC system provide the confidence that comes from knowing the major work has already been completed. Step outside and discover one of the home's most compelling features: a private outdoor retreat designed for year-round Florida living. Relax beside the heated pool and spa, take in peaceful water views, enjoy your morning coffee on the lanai, or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the lake. Life in River Strand is about far more than the home itself. Residents enjoy a championship 27-hole Arthur Hills-designed golf course, multiple resort-style pools, tennis, pickleball, fitness centers, dining, social events, and a vibrant golf cart-friendly lifestyle within a gated community known for delivering exceptional amenities without the excessive fees often found in comparable country club communities. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, healthcare, airports, and the Gulf Coast's world-famous beaches, this home offers the perfect balance of recreation, convenience, and peace of mind for both full-time residents and seasonal owners. To make your transition even easier, the property is being offered partially furnished and includes a six-passenger golf cart, creating a rare turnkey opportunity within River Strand. Settle in and start enjoying everything this exceptional golf and country club lifestyle has to give. For buyers seeking a beautifully updated home, exceptional amenities, low-maintenance living, and the freedom to spend more time enjoying life and less time managing projects, 8611 River Preserve Drive delivers a rare opportunity to own one of River Strand's most turnkey offerings.
