This isn't just another villa in Azario. (This is a stand alone villa - only one side) This is one of the few homes that includes TWO FULL DEEDED GOLF MEMBERSHIPS—a privilege that is no longer offered with the newer villas. For the golfer, it's paradise. For the spouse or partner who doesn't golf, it's a luxury resort you'll never have to leave. Start your morning with coffee on your lanai. Spend the afternoon beside the spectacular resort pool, enjoy a massage or facial at the spa, meet friends for lunch at the Bahama Bar, work out in the state-of-the-art fitness center, play pickleball on one of the 16 pickel ball courts or tennis, or simply relax knowing you've finally found the Florida lifestyle you've worked your whole life to enjoy. Then come home.not just to a beautiful house—but to your own private retreat. Your heated spool, complete with a cascading waterfall and evening lighting, is waiting. Fire up the grill at the outside kitchen (it is plumbed for the gas, water, all you need is the appliances), This thoughtfully designed villa offers three spacious bedrooms plus a private office/den, giving everyone room to spread out. Spacious laundry room. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring, an oversized breakfast bar, gas stove this home was designed for living.

There's plenty of room for a king-size bed—One of the best features? The HOA takes care of the lawn mowing, fertilizing, and mulching. Irrigation uses reclaimed water, so it doesn't add to your water bill. Even the roof is maintained by the HOA. That means less maintenance...and more time enjoying everything Azario. But let's come back to what truly sets this home apart... The golf memberships. They cannot be purchased separately. They cannot be transferred from another home. They are no longer included with newly built villas. They come with this home. That's what makes this property more than a beautiful villa—it makes it one of the most desirable opportunities in Esplanade at Azario. So when you visit, don't just tour the home. Visit the clubhouse. Walk the community. Experience the amenities. Then decide if this is where your next chapter begins. Picture yourself pulling into the quiet cul-de-sac after another incredible day, realizing this isn't just where you live...It's how you've always dreamed retirement would feel. Tour the home. If it's the right fit, ask about the opportunity to experience the championship golf course. But don't wait too long. Someone else is looking for exactly what you've just found. And once these two golf memberships belong to someone else...There isn't another way to get them. Did I mention the lighted pickleball courts????
