The Ranches: 1 acre lot with Gazebo!

The Space:

The entrance of this home is a picturesque glimpse of South Florida. The large and quaint trees and well-kept landscaping welcome you in. When you step inside, to the right is the living room. With two comfortable sofas, a coffee table, and a T.V., the living room is a homey spot to hang out with the group.

Just past the living room is the spacious and practical kitchen, equipped with all the essentials and then some! The kitchen features upgraded stainless steel appliances, generous counter space for preparing a meal, and a window that looks into the backyard.

Right next to the kitchen is a half-bathroom. Make your way to the dining room table with seating for six! The dining area opens up into a second living room, which features a piano, a large and cozy sofa, and a beautiful window that allows natural light into the space, making it airy and bright.

Head up the stairs and see the first of three bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a cottage feel to it. The rattan and wood decor creates a welcoming and tranquil environment to relax and unwind in. Open up the doors for some fresh air, or step outside on the deck with your morning coffee! The deck has a table with four seats.

The primary bedroom also has an en suite bathroom. This clean and crisp bathroom features a standing shower, a double-sink vanity, and a spacious closet.

In the hallway leading to the rest of the bedrooms, you'll find a full-bathroom with a standing shower, a circular vanity mirror, and an under-the-sink drawer with some essentials. The second bedroom is another beautifully decorated room with wood accents and calm, understated decor. Enjoy a queen bed, generous closet space, and access to the deck! The third bedroom features two twin beds with matching bedding sets as well as a work-from-home space.

The beautiful garden backyard is the ideal place to read a book, enjoy quality time with family and friends, or just get swept away by the peaceful nature. Hang out on the outdoor swing, or enjoy a meal at the bench. Right next to the bench is a grill, as well as a ceiling fan for hot Florida days!

Nestled in the breathtaking backyard is a hammock, for those who like to take a nap in between the trees! This backyard continues to get more special the farther you walk--you'll find a small garden gazebo with seats towards the back of the outdoor oasis.

The Neighborhood:

Southwest Ranches, FL is a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. The rural feel of Southwest Ranches combined with its proximity to every South Florida attraction makes it an ideal place to vacation if you're looking for a location nearby all the happenings but removed from the fast-paced city lifestyle. Southwest Ranches is somewhat of a Southeast Florida “wild west”--with it's long tradition of horseback riding, farming, and wildlife, this town is unlike other South Florida suburbs. It's uniqueness is preserved and celebrated to this day, with the slogan “Preserve Our Rural Lifestyle” that includes “donkeys braying, roosters crowing, and no sidewalks”, according to the town's website. You can feel comfortable traveling via RV or parking your boat in this neighborhood hassle-free.
Enjoy great nearby parks, like Markham Park (18 minutes away), Everglades Holiday Park (11 minutes away), and Vista View Park (5 minutes away). Each of these parks offers something different: Markham has a butterfly garden, a dog park, and several pavilions for a shaded picnic, and the best mountain biking in South Florida. Everglades Holiday Park has airboat tours that are suitable for any age, and Vista View has elevation you don't often find in South Florida to train for your triathlons!

This home is about 35 minutes away from Dania Beach. Enjoy the sun, sand, and the Atlantic Ocean at this family-friendly beach. If you're certified, you may be interested in scuba diving in the Dania Beach Erojacks, located inside Dr, Von D Mitzell Johnson State Park. Or, for other underwater adventures, head to John U. Lloyd state park and snorkel at the north end to see the beginning of a reef that runs south all the way to the Keys! There are also several places to rent equipment, from snorkeling gear to paddleboards, surfboards, and more.

As for dining nearby, you've got options! If you spent the day at Dania Beach and you're looking for dining, shopping, and bars, check out Dania Pointe, which is only a few minutes from the beach. Here you'll find a plethora of restaurants, cuisines, bars, and even the Dania Improv comedy club. Casual restaurants include: Bento, BurgerFi, and Lime. Just a bit more upscale options are Cooper's Hawk, Firebirds, and In Ramen. The most quintessential and Instagram-famous restaurant at Dania Point, however, is 14 North. Dania Pointe's website describes it as “more than just an elevated new island bar and restaurant - it's an escape from the daily grind. A place where the hustle stops. The pace slows down. And troubles are left at the door.”
