About this home
Discover the charm of “Old Florida” living with this unique opportunity in historic Cross Creek. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a double lot along a canal leading to Orange Lake, surrounded by majestic oaks, cypress, and draping Spanish moss swaying in the lake breeze. Located just off County Road 325, next to Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Park, you’ll enjoy easy access to the park’s boat ramp, picnic pavilions, and playground. Nature lovers will delight in the abundant wildlife—hawks, ospreys, and eagles frequently soar overhead—and anglers will appreciate the excellent fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, and redear sunfish on the beautiful lake. There’s plenty of space to park your boat or RV, or even add another structure if desired. The property is less than a mile from the famous Yearling Restaurant and less than a half hour drive to Gainesville or Ocala, offering both seclusion and convenience. This home is ready for someone with vision—bring your renovation skills and restore this lakeside retreat to its former glory. Whether you’re looking to establish a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or seasonal escape, the potential here is endless.
