Babcock Ranch, the fast-growing top 10 planned community in the US, is the hurricane resistant, solar powered and self-sustainable town of the future (but here now!) This like-new Pulte Mystique model is located in the Northridge community of Babcock Ranch. There are loads of upgrades in this home, including a 4th bedroom and 3rd full bath.  The beautiful 2-tone cabinets and island with quartz countertops make your kitchen a perfect place to spend time with family and friends. The fabulous, upgraded wood-look tile runs throughout the home, and your private primary ensuite boasts separate tub and shower, as well as dual sinks in the large vanity. As you walk out of the extended gathering room and through the extra set of sliding doors, you enter your private outdoor oasis, with a covered lanai, which has been pre-plumbed for an outdoor kitchen - that means you already have hot and cold water lines plus drain, a natural gas line for cooking, electric outlets and a roof penetration for an exhaust vent. Just past the covered lanai area is your private heated, inground saltwater pool under a screened cage, and it all overlooks a pond where you can fish or just enjoy the nature that is abundant.

At Babcock, you'll have access to many amenities and events, including pools and clubhouses, pickleball, tennis, bocce, weekend food trucks with live music, weekly Sunday farmers market, and a host of special events, concerts and festivals. The lifestyle team has many activities for you to enjoy, and Babcock is an extremely community-oriented town.  You can also look at the community track record vs Mother Nature - we have withstood several hurricanes in the past couple of years with minimal impact.  60 Minutes did a story on Babcock after Hurricane Ian, where we never lost power or internet and had no flooding issues. The Fieldhouse, located adjacent to our schools, is used as a Charlotte County emergency shelter.  This means that when there is severe weather, people come TO Babcock Ranch, not away.  This home also has hurricane rated windows and doors, so you won't have to put up shutters prior to weather events. Another bonus...this home is covered by a transferrable warranty from the builder, Pulte's 1-2-5-10 plan. Everything is covered until the end of April 2025 (*EDIT: Homeowner did a home inspection prior to the 1-year warranty expiration - builder has already made all minor repairs from that inspection). Please inquire about the details of the remaining coverage.
