About 597 Sand Wedge Loop
Nearly One Acre Beneath Mature Southern Live Oaks 597 Sand Wedge Loop | Apopka, FL | $669,900 As the sun filters through the canopy of mature Southern live oaks, this nearly one-acre corner property reveals what makes it truly different. Within Rock Springs Ridge—where many homes sit on smaller parcels—this property offers something increasingly uncommon: space, privacy, and a naturally shaded setting that transforms daily living. The grounds unfold with intention. Expansive lawn areas allow the landscape to breathe, while mature live oaks—established over decades—provide cooling shade, visual depth, and a sense of permanence rarely found in newer environments. In the evening, light moves through the trees, creating one of the home’s most peaceful and defining experiences. A custom stone focal circle welcomes you at the front of the home, complemented by white stone walls, defined borders, and natural walkways that bring structure and architectural clarity to the landscape. The home itself was thoughtfully positioned to preserve the trees and allow the property to evolve naturally around it. Inside, the home offers 3,159 heated and cooled square feet with eleven-foot ceilings in the main living and kitchen areas, crown molding, and a wood-burning fireplace. Formal living and dining rooms connect seamlessly to an open-concept kitchen and family room with bar seating, creating both defined and flexible living spaces. Dual sliding glass doors lead to a spacious screened lanai overlooking a tranquil three-tier fountain courtyard. The primary suite features tray ceilings, private patio access, dual vanities with split-height counters, a garden tub with cedar accent wall, and a separate walk-in shower. Hardwood flooring enhances the formal living areas, office, and bedrooms. Upstairs, a 21' × 16' loft (approximately 336 square feet) with its own HVAC zone provides additional living, workspace, or recreation flexibility. Recent improvements include dual Daikin Fit 17-SEER HVAC systems (2023), roof replacement (2017), new water heater (2022), full LED lighting throughout, a 12-zone irrigation system covering the property, and an oversized 2.5-car garage with attic access. For buyers seeking flexibility, the property offers ample space for a future pool, while also providing the option to enjoy a shaded, lower-maintenance outdoor environment as it exists today. Conveniently located minutes from Wekiva Parkway (SR-429) and approximately five minutes from Wekiwa Springs State Park, with access to natural springs, trails, and outdoor recreation. Also, near Apopka’s growing Kelly Park corridor, the emerging Wyld Oaks development, and within easy reach of Winter Garden, Mount Dora, and downtown Orlando. Properties of this scale—where the land itself defines the experience—rarely become available in Rock Springs Ridge. This is one best experienced in person.
