Beyond the trees, down a quiet drive, you’ll discover a home where privacy comes naturally and the pace of life slows down.
Nestled among mature woods on 2.44 acres in Northwest Marion County’s Farmland Preservation Area, this thoughtfully remodeled western-inspired home provides a level of seclusion that is becoming increasingly rare. Hidden from the road and surrounded by trees, the property feels like a private retreat while remaining in the heart of one of Florida’s most desirable rural landscapes.
The surrounding area is defined by sprawling horse farms, multi-generational family-owned farmland, and large-acreage estates that have made this part of Marion County so sought after. Adding to the sense of privacy, the property borders more than 3,000 acres of farmland to the rear, creating a buffer from future development and helping preserve the area’s peaceful character.
A charming koi pond welcomes guests at the front porch, while inside, the 2,142-square-foot home showcases thoughtful updates, warm western styling, and comfortable living spaces. The living room fireplace creates a natural gathering place, and a brand-new roof adds lasting value and peace of mind.
With 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an exceptionally large bonus room, the home offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. Whether you need a home office, hobby room, media room, guest space, or additional living area, the possibilities are endless.
Step outside onto the expansive rear deck overlooking the wooded backyard and enjoy the quiet beauty of your surroundings. Complete with a hot tub, it’s the perfect place for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply unwinding while watching deer wander through the trees, wild turkey forage nearby, and coveys of quail emerge from the underbrush—daily reminders that you’re living in one of Marion County’s most peaceful natural settings.
For buyers seeking additional acreage, the adjacent 3.44-acre parcel is also available for purchase, offering a unique opportunity to expand your footprint in this exceptional location.
If you’ve been searching for a home that captures the privacy, character, and equestrian-country atmosphere that Marion County is known for, this property deserves a closer look.
