Property Description

Impressive and one of a kind farm with a private gated entrance, paved driveway, and located in an extremely desirable location of NW Marion County! This spacious, 3 bedroom 2.5 bath two story home sits high and dry on a hill beneath a canopy of oak trees and overlooks the beautiful, lush pastures. Walk along the brick pavers to the front entrance and be welcomed into a large foyer with an office space to your right and formal dining area to your left. Down the hall opens up to the kitchen with a 36 wide Wolf gas stove, walk in pantry, and additional vegetable sink. The refrigerator and dishwasher have been updated to stainless steel LG appliances since the pictures were taken. You and your family or guests can enjoy meals at the bar, breakfast area, or formal dining room. The kitchen opens to the cathedral ceiling living room with a wood burning fireplace and three large glass sliding doors that allow you to extend the living area to the outside lanai. The screened-in pool and hot tub have been updated to an automated salt water and gas heating system - control the temperature and lights from your phone. The outdoor patio extension with wood burning fireplace are ideal for Florida living and hosting family and friends. The large owner's bedroom is on the first floor and has French door access to the pool area and a large walk-in closet. The owner's bathroom includes a stand up shower as well as a garden tub. The indoor laundry has a large sink and boasts a laundry chute from the second floor. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms, a full bath, and a sitting area with a view. There's also a closet for a stackable washer and dryer and a bonus room that could easily be an additional bedroom. There is a 6-stall barn with an attached 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment, an indoor wash stall with hot/cold water, a feed room, separate tack room with laundry hook ups, and powder bathroom. There are 3 extra outbuildings to use for farm supplies and also a brand new 40 x 60 pole barn that could easily be converted to additional stalls if needed. A water wheel, wishing well, and two stocked ponds (main with aerator) are located on the property as well. When viewing this property, don't let your eyes miss the charm! There's plenty of pasture and irreplaceable 100-year-old oak trees throughout. The metal roof is less than two years old. This farm is a true must-see conveniently located between Gainesville and Ocala - only 19 miles to The World Equestrian Center in Ocala and 2.9 miles to the soon to be World Equestrian Center Jockey Club off Hwy 318.
