About this home
Nestled among 6.1 acres of peaceful, wooded surroundings in highly desirable NW Gainesville, this private retreat offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature, space, and convenience in one remarkable setting. Tucked away on a quiet, low traffic limerock road, the property offers the privacy and room to spread out that can be increasingly difficult to find in NW Gainesville. A graceful circular concrete driveway framed by mature trees welcomes you home and immediately evokes a sense of tranquility and timeless North Florida charm. Built in 1972, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers approximately 3,422 heated square feet with generous living areas and enduring character ready for its next chapter. Large windows and an expansive sunroom invite the outdoors in, overlooking the pool and tranquil wooded views beyond. Whether enjoying quiet mornings with coffee, gathering with family and friends, or simply unwinding in nature, the setting creates a calming and restorative atmosphere. Several meaningful improvements have already been completed, including a new HVAC system installed in April 2026, a mini-split system added to the sunroom for year-round comfort, recent interior paint, exterior trim paint, and tree trimming to further enhance the property's natural beauty and presentation. The property also features a metal roof, private well and septic, private pool, and expansive acreage offering flexibility, privacy, and room to roam. For buyers who value acreage, privacy, and a peaceful, low-traffic setting over subdivision living, this property offers something truly distinctive—all while remaining conveniently located near I-75, the University of Florida, UF Health, shopping, dining, and surrounding communities. Rich with character, warmth, and natural beauty, this special property offers its next owners the opportunity to bring their own vision to life while enjoying the serenity, space, and timeless appeal of a true North Florida retreat.
