Custom 3BR/2BA Home on 10.3 acres with barn & RV hookup

Beautiful custom 3BR/2BA concrete block stucco ranch home set on 10.3 acres, offering privacy, space, and comfortable living. Inside, a striking rock fireplace anchors the main living area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the master suite features large his and hers walk-in closets. The kitchen features a large walk-in kitchen pantry, double oven range and easy access to the dining room with built-in granite top buffet. Just off the dining area is a large sunlit Florida room, where half is open area and half features a beautiful custom-built wood and brass rail wet bar that seats 8-10. The expansive rear patio includes a gas grill supplied by a buried propane line from a large, buried propane tank (no portable propane tanks to refill!) as well as a custom-built pagoda-style pergola, adding an ideal outdoor entertaining space to the mix. Outside, the home features a 2-car attached garage, a 2-car carport, a large storage shed and a 3-car detached garage with workshop and concrete aprons front and back. A large parking apron and paved driveway provide ample space for vehicles, RVs and guests, and there is a dedicated RV hookup at the house for added convenience. A whole-house generator fueled by the same buried propane tank, automatically powering the entire home, including HVAC and appliances during outages, and seamlessly restoring service once power returns. Toward the back of the property, a plumbing and septic system separate from the main house is ideal for an RV, mother-in-law apartment or other future use. Approximately 5 acres surrounding the home are beautifully landscaped, creating a park-like setting with perennial gardens, secret garden walkways, a variety of mature trees, >150 Long Leaf Pine and Hickory tree seedlings, perennial flowers, as well as native flowering bushes and vines that attract butterflies and birds. A 3/4-acre back yard is fenced in 8 ft tall wire on 3 sides to keep deer out and pets in, and a 6 ft wood privacy fence on the remaining side to block the view of the nearest neighbor. A living privacy fence of resilient flowering trees and bushes that will reach 10-12 ft at maturity was planted in early 2025 to augment the wood fence, and includes Chaste and Flatwoods Plum trees, Ocala Anise, Slim Bottlebrush, Banana Bush, Ligustrum, Simpson’s Stopper as well as two large clumping bamboo plantings. The remaining 5+ acres of property have been left relatively untouched, populated by a variety of native trees, including Cabbage Palm, Oaks, Hickories and Magnolias, with Bay Trees, Saw Palmettos, Beauty Berries and more in the underbrush, ensuring regular sightings of deer and turkey. Conveniently located just five minutes from town and close to schools, shopping a golf course, the Suwanee River and Manatee Springs State Park, the Gulf of Mexico, Cedar Key and easy access to Gainesville and Ocala.
