About This Property

Make this custom home and property your own! This home and property are SPECIAL...tucked away near the historic charm of Micanopy, step into the peaceful retreat of Old Florida! Ideally located between Ocala (and the World Equestrian Center) and just 15 minutes from Gainesville, UF Health, the VA, and the University of Florida, this exceptional estate set on over 6 acres offers the perfect blend of resort-style living, a deep connection to nature, AND everyday convenience. Inside the home, discover rich architectural details and a thoughtfully updated layout designed to seamlessly bring the outdoors inside. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the home with natural light, while a striking stone fireplace anchors the living room with warmth and character. The shared living spaces feature elegant tile and reclaimed heart-of-pine flooring opening effortlessly to a screened lanai—ideal for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Designed with entertaining in mind, the kitchen boasts beautiful stone countertops, abundant cabinetry, a generous pantry, a dine-in area, and a breakfast bar that connects to the Great Room. Additional highlights include a formal dining room, an additional living area, and the convenience of a first-floor laundry room! The first floor primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Upstairs, there are three additional bedrooms PLUS a versatile office or fifth bedroom with its own private deck, all centered around a spacious “bonus” living area. Step outside to your own private oasis, where a tranquil water feature and spacious cabana create the perfect setting for both entertaining and quiet relaxation surrounded by the natural beauty of “Old Florida.” The property is dotted with fruit trees and a wide variety of native Florida foliage, while the gentle rolling landscape offers a unique, almost mountain-like feel reminiscent of North Carolina. Golf enthusiasts will love the private tee box and driving range—your very own “19th hole.” Not a golfer? The flat, wide, green space is ideal for an additional building, grazing, gardening, or countless other endeavors. With no HOA, a durable metal roof, freshly painted exterior, and the added benefit of lower Marion County taxes, this home is a wonderful value! A rare combination of privacy, luxury, and location—this one-of-a-kind property truly has it all!
