Property Description
Nestled beneath a canopy of oaks and whispering cypress trees, there stands a farmhouse like no other — timeless, tranquil, and rich with Southern style. Welcome to Cranes Rest, a picture-perfect homestead on approx. 7 park-like acres fronting the glistening waters of Lake Erie, where every day feels like a return to simpler, more meaningful living.
Wrapped in charm with its gracious wraparound front porch, this southern farmhouse beckons you to sit a while — perhaps in a rocking chair beneath the front porch shade, or later in an Adirondack by the water's edge. Canoe, fish, or waterski, on the lake then retreat home to serenity and simple pleasures.
Step through the front door, and you're welcomed into a world of craftsmanship and comfort. At the heart of the home lies a brand-new custom kitchen — thoughtfully designed with Knotty Alder cabinetry, quartz countertops, seeded glass & cane inset doors, and high-end finishes that make both everyday living and entertaining a joy with new stainless steel appliances and custom tabletop island.
Newly refinished Solid oak floors, coffered ceilings, and tongue-and-groove woodwork flow seamlessly from room to room on the main floor, creating warm, textured spaces perfect for gathering or retreating in solitude. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, where a wood burning fireplace with a rustic beam mantle anchors the space, flanked by a custom built-in bookcase. A nearby wet bar with wine refrigerator invites you to pour a glass and linger a little longer.
The formal dining room overlooks the lush landscape outside, making every meal feel special, while a private den with French doors leads to a covered porch — the perfect escape for a peaceful morning coffee or a quiet afternoon with a book.
The primary suite, located on the first floor, offers a cozy fireplace of its own and tranquil garden views through double French doors leading out to the lake.
Upstairs, a light-filled bonus room offers stunning views of the lake, two more full bedrooms and a newly renovated full bathroom, along with a second office space that's currently used as a fourth bedroom — ideal for guests, work-from-home life, or creative pursuits. Brand new designer carpet just installed upstairs. Connected by a screened porch and breezeway, the home also features a mother-in-law suite with its own full bathroom and laundry room, perfect for extended family, visitors, or flexible living space.
Outside, the story continues: blooming camellias, pineapple plants, vibrant crepe myrtles, and golden rain trees fill the property with color and fragrance. Deer, wild turkeys, and resident sandhill cranes, now in their fourth generation, freely roam the land. Whether your dream includes horses, gardening, firefly summers or ATV adventures, this land welcomes your vision.
Additional features include a 2-car side-entry carport (easily convertible to a garage) and a covered boat dock, offering direct access to the sparkling lake just steps from your back door.
This is Groveland — The City with Natural Charm — this is where Old Florida lives on, not just in memory, but in every sunrise over the water, every breeze through the trees, and every lovingly crafted detail of this extraordinary homestead. Come write your next chapter here. Your timeless Southern retreat awaits.
