Description
** Major Price Reduction *** $55k drop. Lakefront Country Living with Exceptional Quality.
Welcome to 3130 Magnolia Dr. inside Paradise Lakes Community.
A remarkable 3.57-acre lakefront retreat on Dunford Lake.
This property features exceptional construction, thoughtful design, abundant outdoor space, and peaceful country living come together.
Designed for those who appreciate quality, privacy, comfort, and long-term value, this property is especially appealing to couples approaching retirement or those already enjoying retirement, as well as anyone looking for the freedom and space of country living without giving up convenient access to Northwest Florida's amenities.
Built for Long-Term Comfort & Value
The owners have spared no expense and thought of everything in creating a home designed for lasting value and comfort. The residence was constructed using high-grade ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) construction, providing exceptional strength, durability, insulation, and energy efficiency. Combined with Andersen A-Series high-efficiency windows, the home was designed to maintain a comfortable interior while reducing energy demands. The wood burning fireplace has a handy gas starter feature to make the fireplace easy to use for the few weeks a year that Northwest Florida might need a cozy fire while overlooking the lake.
The ICF construction contributes to lowering electricity costs and maintenance requirements approximately 30%-50% lower than a comparable traditional stick-built home (depending on usage, weather, utility rates, and maintenance practices).
The whole-home Generac generator provides additional peace of mind.
Inside, you'll find custom cabinetry throughout, tongue-and-groove cypress ceilings, engineered hardwood floors, and carefully selected finishes that create a warm, refined country atmosphere.
A Chef's Kitchen Made for Entertaining
The kitchen is truly the heart of this home, featuring a gas ZLINE commercial-style cooktop, matching ZLINE appliances, leathered granite countertops, and a massive center island designed for both cooking and entertaining.
Whether you're preparing a meal with produce from the garden or hosting family and friends, this kitchen provides the space and functionality to do it all.
Lake Views from Every Bedroom
Each bedroom offers a walk-out to the screened-in Florida room, creating an exceptional connection to the outdoors.
Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking picturesque Dunford Lake, spend a quiet afternoon reading, or unwind in the evening while watching the sunset and wildlife across the water.
The screened Florida room provides the perfect setting for peaceful mornings and memorable evenings.

For the fishing enthusiast, this property is hard to beat. Dunford Lake produces excellent bass and other freshwater fish, putting your favorite pastime right outside your door.

For someone who has always dreamed of a productive country garden, this property makes that lifestyle possible.
