Description

Welcome to this exceptional custom home showcasing locally milled cypress cladding, cathedral ceilings with elegant interior beams, and durable 2x6 wall construction. Privately nestled on 9.87 acre this 2 bed 2 bath home has an open loft on the 2nd floor, which could be converted to a 3rd bedroom or a den. Half of the land is wooded for extra privacy and the second half is open pasture land with a buried water line ready for horses or other livestock. The centerpiece of this unique home is the gourmet kitchen that features a built-in Sub-Zero commercial refrigerator/freezer, a Viking professional range with 6 burners and a flat top, double convection wall ovens, a warming drawer, and Kraft-Maid cabinetry with soft-close hinges. The custom concrete countertop and massive eat-in island enhance the open-concept kitchen area. The large screened porch includes a summer kitchen with a gas range/oven, a Samsung refrigerator, sink, cabinetry, and laundry area with smart Samsung washer/dryer. Additional features include a Florida room with vinyl windows and extra storage, a 3 car garage, a fenced dog run, a custom chicken coop, and a new wrap-around deck (2024) featuring dual entrances, new railing, down lighting, and grand porch lanterns. A 30x50 metal pole building (2019) with a 12-foot roll-up door and a 12x50 attached lean-to could be made into a horse barn or is ideal for RV, boat, or car storage. Recent upgrades include the (2019) HVAC system, including air handler, heat pump, and condenser, and comes with the remainder of a 10-year factory warranty. A high-efficiency electric water heater (2022), new low-E windows and doors (2023) and a Tier 2 solar energy system (13.53 kWh, installed in 2021). A dimensional shingle roof was replaced in 2017. A Generac generator with a transfer switch is on-site but not connected. Great location between Ocala and Gainesville and very close to all the amenities.
