Courtyard, Florida

This spectacular 4 bedroom 3.5 bath custom home in the heart of Ocala Florida was created for hospitality and built only 3 years ago on one of the highest elevations in the area. Surrounded by soaring pines and oak stands, you would never know that this community is in the center of town and only 5-7 minutes from all the finest restaurants and shopping Downtown provides. As you enter through the tall double doors, you are greeted by a resort style screened in courtyard complete with maintenance free turf, porcelain tiled breezeways, Waterfall, outdoor kitchen, and a covered dining area with a large screen TV and seating for six guests. Now step inside the main house and discover the open concept layout with the oversized kitchen sharing the space with the coastal inspired great room featuring tongue and groove wood cathedral ceiling with integrated surround sound speakers, a floor to ceiling fireplace complete with a 70” big screen TV plus a 9 ft long wet bar complete with beverage refrigerator. The flooring throughout the house is a wood plank ceramic tile tough enough to withstand the heaviest traffic and yet easy to maintain. The kitchen’s focal point is a uniquely shaped island with dark blue cabinets that seat six guests in a way that encourages engaging interaction. The rest of the kitchen cabinets are floor to ceiling in maple with quartz counters complemented by Bosch S/S appliances. Enjoy the butler’s pantry as a coffee bar or as a secondary food prep area that includes plenty countertop and storage space. The en-suite boasts a generous bedroom area with two large walk-in closets furnished with custom closet shelving and drawer systems. The spa inspired primary bath features an oversized walk-in shower complete with a free-standing soaking tub, frameless glass enclosure, dual effect shower heads and floor to ceiling dimensional tile. The two remaining bedrooms in the main house share a jack and jill bathroom adorned with wood cabinets and granite counters with double undermount porcelain sinks. The fourth bedroom is detached from the main house but connected by the breezeway. The “Casita” is accessed through double French doors and can serve either as a fourth bedroom or an office. This private space includes a closet and a full bathroom and is set up with an independent climate and audio control. The house boasts two driveways capable of easily accepting eight vehicles plus two more parked in the oversized garage. Other features include 10 ft ceilings, six zone audio system, automatic irrigation, Ring cameras, smart lighting dimmer switches, hot water recirculating pump system, network with WIFI extenders and home security for peace of mind. The community of Cala Hills offers a pool, fitness center, weight room, tennis courts and a club house. We invite you to tour this unique home in a quiet part of Florida which we call” The horse capital of the world.” BTW if you decide to come the sunsets are spectacular.
