Bungalow, Traditional

*PRICED AT RECENT APPRAISAL* This private 10-acre farm is the nature lover's paradise. Secluded, yet minutes to both Ocala and Belleview, this property boasts a 2023 custom 3/2 home and a new 40 x 24 metal building. You enter your gated property from a private dead-end road through the Cross Florida Greenway. You will never have neighbors on the west side of the property. Enjoy your morning coffee from your front porch swings while watching countless bird species play. The front and back porches span the entire length of the house, making them the perfect space to host large family meals, or cozy up with a book. The home has 9’4” ceilings and 8’ doors throughout. Enjoy the open floor plan with a spacious, light-filled living room, dining room, and kitchen large enough for multiple cooks. The kitchen is appointed with a 6 burner gas range and ample cabinet space with drawers, pull-outs, and functional organization. Watch the wild rabbits and gopher tortoises from your large picture window while you cook. Off of the dining room, there is a large walk-in pantry with custom wood shelving and pull-outs, additional counter space, as well as a pot filler for your coffee maker and pet bowls. The home’s secondary bedrooms are generously sized with custom closets. The hall bath has a large vanity with ample storage, tub/shower combo, and linen closet. Enter your large primary bedroom with flex space, which is currently being used as an office, but could also function as a nursery or additional walk-in closet. The primary bath has marble floors, a large two-person shower, and a Toto Neorest toilet with all the bells and whistles. Enjoy long, hot showers with on-demand hot water. The walk-in closet has all wood custom built-ins with dressers. There’s no shortage of storage here. The home has vintage reproduction hardware and lighting throughout. This home is connected to the Ocala Fiber Network. The property is incredibly private with the property line of mature oaks. There is also a deeded 40-foot easement off the backside of the property making easy access for your horse trailer, RV, or even semi-trucks. The 40 x 24 metal building has two 10’ high garage bays, workshop area, as well as a 40 x 12 lean-to for all of your equipment. There is an approximately 3 acre fenced paddock with water and large oaks for shade for your animals with plenty of space to expand or build a barn. This property is truly a gem for nature lovers. The farm’s landscaping is all low maintenance Florida native plants. You will see wildlife on a daily basis from your windows. Take a stroll down the mowed paths throughout the property to see the abundant wildflowers and wildlife. The property is also hiking and biking distance to the Florida Trail and Santos Trailhead. Pictures DO NOT do this property justice. It's a must see!
