This highly desirable, exclusive neighborhood is surrounded by a pristine preserve, over 70 ponds, and diverse wildlife. All within a very short distance to shopping, arts, dining, and beaches. The River Club gets its name from the Braden River which flows through the heart of the community creating a unique environment within Lakewood Ranch. 
This custom-built Todd Johnson home sits on a private preserve setting making it a perfect retreat after playing 18 holes on the River Club Golf Course or spending the day at our world-class beaches. The bright and open floor plan features soaring tray ceilings and an elegant living room lounge that opens into a gorgeous outdoor living oasis with a private view, saltwater pool, and elevated heated spa.  The bright and spacious kitchen provides lots of counter space, a convenient center island, and a large walk-in pantry perfect for entertaining family and friends. This home features a huge master bedroom with preserve and pool views as well as private access to the pool area, a separate glass shower, and a garden tub. The executive suite features custom built-in cabinets and a large desk area. It could be used as a yoga studio, a painting room (due to its natural light), or a home office.
