Welcome to Palmas Bay, one of Port Orange's most desirable gated waterfront communities. This custom riverfront home offers the kind of views and privacy that are becoming harder to find. Situated across from the protected Doris Leeper Preserve, you'll enjoy a natural backdrop with no homes or future development across the water—just endless views, wildlife, beautiful sunsets, and the peaceful Florida lifestyle you have been dreaming about. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an expansive 3-car garage, the home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate everyday living, visiting guests, hobbies, and effortless entertaining. The versatile floor plan features a private downstairs guest suite with its own bathroom, an additional guest bedroom, and a convenient pool-access half bath that makes indoor-outdoor living easy. The kitchen flows naturally into the family room, creating an inviting central gathering area framed by a fireplace and tranquil water views. Nearby, a light-filled sunroom offers the perfect spot to sip morning coffee while boats drift along the river. The main level also includes a generous formal living room, ideal for hosting holidays, celebrations, and memorable get-togethers. The primary suite is tucked away upstairs and feels like a private retreat. Features include a fireplace, private office, oversized walk-in closets, double vanity, and a private balcony overlooking the backyard and river. An adjoining fourth bedroom provides flexibility for a nursery, fitness room, second office, sitting room, or additional guest space. Step outside and discover what makes this property truly special. The backyard was designed to enjoy waterfront living with a private dock, pool, spa, multiple firepit areas, mature landscaping, storage shed, and a unique treehouse that could be used as a play space, art studio, reading retreat, or creative workspace. Whether you enjoy boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing by the water, this property offers something for everyone. The oversized garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, golf carts, tools, and recreational equipment. Palmas Bay is known for its beautiful waterfront homes, privacy, and convenient location near shopping, dining, golf courses, medical facilities, and some of Central Florida's most beautiful beaches. You're just minutes from New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Ponce Inlet, and all the outdoor recreation the area has to offer. Properties with protected preserve views, private docks, flexible living spaces, and this much outdoor enjoyment rarely become available. If you've been searching for a true waterfront estate with room to spread out, entertain, and enjoy everything Florida living has to offer, this home deserves a closer look.
