About this home

A rare Ocala offering, manicured acreage, exceptional outbuildings and over 20 years of meticulous care. If you have been searching for an Ocala property where the land is manicured, the systems are updated and the outbuildings actually match the scale of the acreage, this estate stands in a category of its own. Set on 7.34 acres of beautifully maintained, high and dry land, this fully gated and fenced property offers privacy, space and a level of upkeep that is increasingly hard to find. The pride of ownership is evident from moment you enter the gates, reflecting consistent attention and thoughtful improvements. At the heart of the estate is a seven-bay detached garage, fully equipped with water, electric, a walk-in cooler, half bath and dedicated storage, ideal for car collectors, trades, equipment or anyone who needs substantial functional space. A massive, detached workshop and a two-car metal carport provide even more room for vehicles, tools or overflow parking. Inside the home, enjoy more than 4,000 square feet of upgraded living space designed for comfort and flexibility. The chef’s kitchen features stainless appliances, a center island, double sink, trash compactor and built in desk, while a stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, which opens to the Florida room through sliding glass doors. The primary suite includes a walk in closet, private bonus room, and a spa style bath with dual vanities and a glass block walk-in shower. A fully furnished game room, complete with pool table, bar stools and lounge seating, creates a ready-made entertainment space. A dedicated office, two additional bonus rooms and a Florida room that offers endless options for work, hobbies or relaxation. Key upgrades include a new metal roof (2023), Anderson windows (2019), new water tank (2025), new water heater (2023), four air-conditioning units for zoned comfort, water softener, and updated blinds and drapery. The land is standout, fully fenced, gated, private and beautifully manicured. Enjoy the gazebo for morning coffee, the lanai for evening unwinding and a fenced dog run for pets. Electric is run throughout the perimeter for lighting, security or future expansion. This is a once-in-a-lifetime Ocala property, acreage, square footage and outbuildings that align with the scale of the land, all maintained with exceptional care for over 20 years. If you are seeking a turnkey estate with space, privacy and unmatched utility, this one delivers.
