About this property

Peaceful 4-Acre Sanctuary: Healing Nature Retreat Near Springs and WEC


Experience true tranquility at this private 4-acre Hernando nature sanctuary, where modern luxury meets the healing power of the great outdoors.

Whether you are looking for a quiet family getaway, a peaceful reunion, or a deeply rejuvenating escape, this property offers a rare level of calm. Tucked away at the end of a beautiful tree-lined driveway with dense woods on all four sides, this estate serves as a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to veterans, children in need, and individuals in recovery. While our nonprofit groups use the land for their programs, every single person who steps foot here comments on how deeply peaceful, restorative, and healing the property is.
