Whether you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life or simply enjoy the tranquility of nature, this property is the perfect place to call home. Nestled in a serene setting, the 9.83-acre property boasts two homes and ample privacy. A wooded drive leads to the property’s paved driveway and parking for each home. At the end of the drive, you will find the 3-bedroom, 2-bath, main home with 2,211 sq ft of living space. As you enter the home and step into the foyer, you will first notice the high, vaulted ceilings and the open-concept design, which includes the living and dining areas, kitchen, and breakfast nook. Sliding glass doors lead from the dining area onto an enviable screened lanai, a private paradise looking onto lush trees and the expansive side yard. Beyond this is an open patio area, great for grilling, entertaining, or just enjoying the Florida sunshine. Back indoors, you’ll find a huge kitchen, perfect for entertaining or preparing your favorite dishes, complete with not one but two eat-in bars, new stainless-steel appliances, solid-surface countertops, and rich wood cabinetry. The master bedroom features stunning views of the property, a walk-in closet, a large standard closet, and direct access to the lanai via sliding glass doors. The master bath boasts a window seat with storage beneath, a linen closet, lots of light, and a tiled shower with design accents and glass door. The second and third bedrooms, along with another full bath, are situated on the other side of the home. Each carpeted bedroom features ample closet space, lots of natural light, and beautiful views of the outdoors. This home also features a roomy indoor laundry room, with shelving and a storage closet/pantry, and an attached two-car garage. The main home also has a new A/C and had a new roof, including skylight, installed in 2021. The property’s second home, with 1,540 sq ft of living space, is also a 3-bedroom, 2-bath house with high, vaulted ceilings and an open-concept design for the main living area. Just down the drive yet separated from the main home, this second home could provide rental income, be used as guest accommodations, or give in-laws a home that is close enough for convenience yet still provides privacy. The home’s kitchen has lots of cabinet space, a large eat-in bar, and is filled with natural light. The breakfast nook, dining area, and a balcony accessed via sliding glass doors all overlook the property’s peaceful forest backdrop. In the master bedroom, you will find a spacious walk-in closet and wooded views. The master bath, currently being renovated, features a ceramic-tiled walk-in shower with dual showerheads, a double-bowl vanity, and lots of storage. Across the living area, the sizeable second and third bedrooms also feature lovely views and ample closet space, while the guest bath boasts a large vanity, tub/shower combo, and a linen closet. If you have animals, there is plenty of open, level space here for a barn and paddocks, too. The location is private yet only a short drive from shopping, dining, and entertainment in The Villages or Ocala. This is truly a wonderful example of North Central Florida’s natural beauty. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own your slice of paradise!
