Property Description
Designed with a relaxed “gentleman's farm” feel, the custom-built cedar home blends naturally into the landscape with beautiful wood details, stone accents, vaulted ceilings, and a layout that offers both flexibility and character. The main home includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, spacious living and gathering areas, and two large bonus rooms, one with built-in cabinetry that could function as an office, additional bedroom, studio, or hobby space. Upstairs, the private primary suite opens to its own screened porch overlooking the property and surrounding trees, creating a peaceful retreat with a true treehouse feel.
An attached private apartment adds exceptional versatility with its own living quarters, kitchen, bedroom, and two full bathrooms. Whether used for multigenerational living, a farm hand, guest accommodations, or short-term rental income for visitors coming to Gainesville or the World Equestrian Center, the possibilities are wide open.
Outside, the property is already set up for equestrian or homestead living with a 2-stall barn, dry hay storage, tack room, three paddocks, a training ring, chicken coop, and automatic waterers. The large, screened lanai and inground pool create additional space for relaxing and entertaining while enjoying the privacy and natural surroundings.
This is not a cookie-cutter property—it's a place with personality, potential, and room to create something special. Ideal for those seeking a slower pace, equestrian lifestyle, homestead setup, or simply a private retreat close to both Gainesville and Ocala. Recent updates include: New HVAC (2025), New Water Heater (2025), 18kw Generator (2024), Refinished Pool Deck, and Recently Resurfaced Driveway. Seller is offering a new roof prior to closing with acceptable offer.
