Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to one of Melrose's best-kept secrets — a nearly-new home sitting directly across from the neighborhood boat ramp with immediate access to Lake Santa Fe, one of the largest and most pristine spring-fed lakes in the entire state of Florida. Built just a couple of years ago, this immaculate 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home still carries that fresh, never-really-lived-in feel. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the attention to detail: luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout every room, white shaker cabinets line the kitchen, and gleaming granite countertops anchor the space with a clean, timeless elegance. Stainless steel appliances, a large pantry, and an airy open layout make this kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. The primary suite is thoughtfully tucked away at the back of the home — your own quiet retreat — featuring a spacious en suite bathroom with a double vanity and an impressively large walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. A generous laundry room complete with a utility sink adds a practical touch you'll appreciate daily. Step outside and you'll find covered lanais both front and back, perfect for morning coffee, evening breezes, or simply soaking in the Florida lifestyle. The half-acre lot gives you room to breathe, garden, or store your water toys — because with the boat ramp just steps away, you'll want them close. About Lake Santa Fe: This isn't just any lake. At 5,850 acres, Lake Santa Fe is a massive, breathtaking expanse celebrated as one of the clearest and most hydrologically stable lakes in Florida. The state has officially designated it an Outstanding Florida Water— a recognition reserved for only the most exceptional bodies of water in the state. Its two distinct basins — the broad southern lake and the charming smaller northern basin known as Little Lake Santa Fe — are connected by a scenic pass that makes for a memorable day on the water. Whether you're into recreational boating, jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, or simply floating in crystal-clear spring water, this lake delivers. About the Area: Melrose may only have one stoplight, but it punches well above its weight. Charming local restaurants, a tight-knit community, and a slower, more intentional pace of life make it a place people move to and never want to leave. Nearby Keystone Heights adds conveniences, and Gainesville — home to the University of Florida and all the dining, arts, and amenities of a vibrant college city — is less than 30 minutes away. Perhaps best of all: this home sits in Bradford County, giving you meaningfully lower property taxes compared to neighboring Alachua County right next door. Same lake, same lifestyle — better tax bill. Homes like this, this new, this close to Lake Santa Fe, don't come along often. Come see it before someone else does.
