About this home
Experience the quintessential North Florida country lifestyle on this beautiful 20-acre property near Bell, Florida. Located only five minutes from town, this property offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living and everyday convenience. With no deed restrictions and mostly fenced acreage, this property is well suited for livestock, recreation, gardening, or simply enjoying the wide-open space. The land features approximately 15 acres of mostly open pasture, along with approximately 5 acres of planted pines and natural growth providing privacy, shade, and wildlife habitat. Built in 2005, this immaculately maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers 2,187 square feet of heated and cooled living space and nearly 2,800 square feet under roof. Quality construction is evident throughout with 2x6 wall construction and 9-foot ceilings. A charming front sitting porch welcomes you and provides the perfect spot to enjoy peaceful mornings, while the large screened-in back porch offers additional outdoor living space overlooking the property. The kitchen features oak cabinetry and durable countertops, and the living area includes a cozy fireplace with gas logs. One bathroom offers a jetted sauna tub for a relaxing retreat. Pella double-hung windows installed in 2025, along with all-new window shades added last year, provide added comfort and style. Ceiling fans are located throughout the bedrooms and living room. A whole-house standby generator provides peace of mind, while the spacious 30x60 enclosed building offers excellent space for a workshop, storage, equipment, hobbies, or future projects. Two carports near the home provide convenient covered parking and additional storage options. Enjoy being just minutes from several freshwater springs and the scenic Suwannee River, with Gainesville only about 45 minutes away for University of Florida events, shopping, dining, and additional amenities. This exceptional property offers the rare combination of acreage, quality construction, privacy, and convenience in a beautiful North Florida setting.
