Welcome home to Lake Alto Estates, where brand-new construction meets the relaxed, old-Florida charm of Waldo! Set on approximately 0.24 acres, this 2026 Brand New Quality Built Manufactured Home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and approximately 1,493 sq ft of fresh, modern living, paired with a fully renovated 20x20 two-car garage and one of the most memorable trees in the neighborhood: a mature Southern magnolia with a perfect gumdrop-shaped canopy, glossy evergreen leaves and fragrant white summer blooms. The garage is a rare find at this price point. Permitted and renovated with a new architectural shingle roof and new hardie board siding, it's ready for vehicles, a workshop, kayak and fishing gear, or hobby space. Inside, 8-foot sidewalls, Low-E windows, black accents and fixtures, and durable flooring create a bright, contemporary feel. The kitchen anchors the open living area with stainless-steel appliances, a center island, coffee bar, soft-close drawers and hinges, ceramic tile backsplash and stylish countertops, while a sliding glass door brings in natural light. The primary suite is a private retreat with an upgraded 60-inch shower with sliding glass enclosure and generous storage. ENERGY STAR construction, upgraded insulation, a programmable thermostat, LED lighting, a USB charging outlet, a dedicated utility room and an upgraded exterior elevation round out the home, along with a brand-new septic system and HVAC. Set up to meet FHA, VA and USDA financing requirements. Location is the real treasure. Lake Alto Park is just minutes away, with a boat launch, floating dock, playground and picnic area, and it connects to the 662-acre Lake Alto Preserve and its 5.2 miles of trails for hiking, cycling and horseback riding. Paddle the historic Waldo Canal, completed in 1881 to carry steamboats between Lake Alto and Lake Santa Fe, treasure-hunt at the famous Waldo Farmers & Flea Market, and still reach Gainesville, the University of Florida and Gainesville Regional Airport in about 25 minutes. New, energy-conscious living, a garage/shop you'll actually use and a magnolia you'll fall for, all in one peaceful Lake Alto setting. Be the first to call it home!
