About this home

Set on 2.4 acres of gently rolling land within an established equestrian community, this inviting mini-farm offers privacy, functionality, and quiet country living. Fully fenced and gated, the property is framed by mature trees and open paddocks that create a peaceful countryside setting ideal for equestrian use. Centered on the land is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a welcoming covered entry and attached two-car garage. Inside, the home is light and comfortable with a well-designed split-bedroom layout and inviting living spaces, highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry and counter space and connects easily to the main living area for everyday living and entertaining. A fully enclosed sunroom provides a relaxing space to enjoy natural light year-round. Beyond, a screen-enclosed pool area features a sparkling in-ground pool and above-ground spa, creating a private outdoor retreat. A pergola connects the pool area to a separate workshop and storage building, adding flexibility for hobbies or equipment. Equestrian amenities include a shed-row style barn with four stalls and additional storage, with stall doors opening to turnouts, along with two board-and-wire fenced paddocks offering light shade and clear sightlines. Additional storage is provided by a separate shed and covered carport. Located in a horse-friendly community with no HOA fees and convenient access to Ocala’s equestrian venues, shopping, and services, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, versatility, and a relaxed equestrian lifestyle with easy access to modern conveniences.
