Property Description
From the moment you enter through the gate and follow the paved drive beneath mature trees and lush landscaping, you know you've arrived somewhere special. This beautifully appointed 5-bedroom, 5-bath block home with more than 4,644 square feet of living space offers an exceptional combination of privacy, elegance, entertaining space and country living—all while remaining convenient to Gainesville, Ocala and the World Equestrian Center.
Step inside to a light-filled interior featuring soaring ceilings, coffered details, crown molding and beautiful architectural finishes throughout. Formal living and dining rooms provide an elegant setting for entertaining, while the inviting gas fireplace adds warmth and character. A separate bonus room is perfect for a home office, library or den, and the spacious indoor laundry adds everyday convenience.
At the heart of the home is the gourmet chef's kitchen, designed for gathering and entertaining with abundant wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, an eat-in area and plenty of room to prepare everything from casual family meals to holiday celebrations. The open flow carries naturally into the home's outdoor living areas.
And what an outdoor setting it is! Enjoy your own 39' x 22' heated saltwater pool with in-ground lighting and a screened enclosure—perfect for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying Florida living throughout the year. Covered front and side porches, a patio and even a private tennis court add to the resort-like atmosphere.
The property is equally impressive beyond the main residence. A charming, fully equipped 2-bedroom, 2-bath guest cottage provides wonderful accommodations for family, friends or extended stays. The barn offers an additional 1-bedroom, 1-bath living area, generous storage and space that could accommodate stalls, creating tremendous possibilities for an equestrian lifestyle or other country pursuits.
The beautifully landscaped grounds are dotted with mature trees and an assortment of fruit-bearing pecan, orange, lemon and banana trees, giving the acreage an established and welcoming feel.
Zoned A-1, this remarkable property offers the space and versatility so many buyers are searching for—whether your dream is a private country retreat, an equestrian property, a multigenerational estate or simply room to breathe.
Ideally positioned approximately 20 minutes from Gainesville, with convenient access to downtown Ocala and the world-class World Equestrian Center, you can enjoy peaceful country living without giving up the amenities, dining and entertainment of nearby cities.
Beautiful acreage. Multiple residences. Resort-style amenities. Endless possibilities.
This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle waiting for its next owner.
Schedule your private showing and come experience this exceptional 12-acre estate for yourself!
