Inside, the open-concept living and dining area flows into an eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar, a natural setup for everyday meals and entertaining. The spacious primary suite is a quiet retreat, with views of the peaceful backyard. All solid-surface floors and stone countertops make for easy maintenance. Out back, the covered lanai is ready for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or relaxed gatherings with friends and family. As a member of Fore Ranch, you can enjoy the clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, playground, tennis and basketball courts, soccer field, and a scenic walking path. For Ranch is conveniently located close to I-75, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, and only 20-minutes to downtown Ocala. Come see it for yourself and make it your own!
