Contemporary 3BR Home on 5.66 Acres with 30x40 Workshop
The first thing you notice at 15839 Powerline Road is the workshop — a full 30x40 outbuilding with 15-foot ceilings, a heavy-duty car lift and dedicated RV storage that transforms a typical country parcel into a maker’s compound. That functional centerpiece sits on a rolling 5.66-acre lot with 371 feet of frontage on Powerline Road and a paved drive that brings you from the street to the attached two-car garage and multiple paved parking spaces.
Inside the contemporary two-story residence, bamboo floors guide you through 2,066 square feet of living area. The kitchen was upgraded for everyday performance and entertaining: stainless steel appliances, granite counters, ample cabinetry and a layout that opens to the dining and living areas. A screened porch extends the living footprint outdoors — ideal for quiet evenings or watching the yard and pastures. Practical, recent upgrades include paid-off solar panels (2025), new windows (2025), a high-efficiency RUUD AC (2023) and a new roof installed in February 2023.
Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths are arranged to balance privacy and usable space. Finishes feel intentional rather than ornate: durable materials, clean lines and thoughtful systems that reduce near-term maintenance. Utilities are a mix of public water and septic; the property is zoned AR (Agricultural Residential), which supports single-family, agricultural and equestrian uses and gives the lot flexibility for buyers who want livestock, hobby farming or potential future subdivision (verify with Pasco County).
Living here means country quiet with access to town: downtown Dade City is roughly five miles away for dining, shops and local events; Saint Leo University is about eight miles for college cultural and recreational resources; Withlacoochee River Park sits within a ten-mile radius for paddling and trails. The home shows evidence of careful ownership and is move-in ready for buyers who want country acreage paired with modern systems, or owners who need serious workspace for automotive, woodworking or small-business operations.
This property presents a compelling value proposition: acreage and a functional workshop rarely appear together with recent energy and mechanical upgrades. Comparable sales and broker valuations place the market value in the $600,000–$650,000 range; the combination of location, improvements and usable outbuildings make 15839 Powerline Road a standout option for buyers seeking rural lifestyle with practical modern conveniences.

A factual market snapshot around 15839 Powerline Road.
Pasco County’s rural corridors around Dade City are currently a balanced-but-tight market for properties with acreage. Inventory sits near 3.5 months — leaner than a passive market but not hyper-competitive — and average days on market is about 45 days. Median sale price in the local area is roughly $400,000, but homes with multiple acres and detached, purpose-built outbuildings command a premium; comparable recent sales and valuation models indicate a likely value band between $600,000 and $650,000 for this property. Year-over-year appreciation has been modest (around 5% in the last 12 months) with stronger gains over five years (≈25%), reflecting steady demand for rural single-family homes. For sellers, the current environment rewards well-priced acreage listings with unique utility features (like a 30x40 workshop and paid-off solar). For buyers, limited inventory and specialized features suggest moving decisively when a property matches your criteria; expect competitive interest for turnkey country homes that combine energy efficiency and usable workshop space.
