Located in the peaceful estate section of Quail Ridge, with just 42 estate homes—most on 1+ acre lots—within a larger community of fewer than 300 properties, this residence offers a rare sanctuary of serenity amidst Tampa’s ongoing growth and development. While much of the region is rapidly expanding, Quail Ridge remains a quiet enclave that preserves the natural beauty and character of Florida. Here, life unfolds at a gentler pace. It’s common to see wild turkeys strolling leisurely across the grounds, sandhill cranes gliding gracefully overhead, or a giant turtle ambling slowly along the edge of the conservation area. On fortunate days, a doe and her fawn may pause at a distance, watching quietly before disappearing into the trees. It embodies the essence of “peaceful living”—a place where privacy, nature, and timeless Florida charm converge. It is not just a home, but a retreat that offers tranquility, space, and a connection to the land that is increasingly rare in today’s fast‑developing Tampa Bay area.
