  A curved driveway skirts the front of the house passing the original well pump and leading to a parking area, garage and carport with gated access to the enclosed inner sanctum. A wood fence encloses the pool area and covered deck with hot tub, providing a private place to relax or entertain guests.
  The oval 16'x32' in-ground pool provides a place to cool off and is equipped with a diving board, ladder and in-pool light with sensor to operate at night. Proximity to the garage bathroom, an outdoor shower, covered patio and deck with grill and hot tub allow you and your guests to enjoy the warm Florida weather in seclusion.

Property is zoned residential with exemption to operate as a Bed & Breakfast. (B'n'B web site)
There is ample space to build an additional garage, convert the existing garage into a guest cottage, or build a guest cottage at the rear with pool access to generate income as a vacation rental.

Would consider trade down with something near Kansas City, Missouri.
