Your country retreat is waiting for you! This elegant home was built in 2021 on 6.42 acres in the heart of Ocala’s Horse Country. The property is high and dry, perimeter fenced with an automated gate, and is located on a quiet, paved road just north of CR 316. The current owners have selectively cleared the woods surrounding the home and outbuildings; leaving trees around the perimeter for privacy. The woods are a mix of hardwoods and softwoods and include multiple larger oaks with one located a short distance behind the home, just waiting to be showcased. You will even find a few citrus trees. The property has good and useful elevation, drains well, and the woods can easily be converted to horse pasture. Upon entering the home you will discover an open floor plan with 10′ ceilings, luxury vinyl floors throughout, electric fireplace, and a thoughtfully designed chef’s kitchen. You’ll appreciate the induction range, farmhouse sink, 100% brass hardware, handmaid tile backsplash, and quartz countertops. The large, 24’6″ x 12′ rear porch provides a wonderful outdoor space for recharging in the natural environment. Two additional structures on the property include an accessory building with electric that is currently being used for storage and a workshop and would also function well as a tack room and feed room. The second structure currently provides cover for a boat and a storage closet for watersport gear. If you are seeking a property with easy access to Marion County’s equestrian competition and training facilities you’ve found it! This parcel is 2.7 miles to Sweet Dixie South, 5.8 miles to the Ocala Jockey Club, 10.2 miles to Majestic Oaks, 12.2 miles To HITS, and 17.2 miles to the World Equestrian Center.
