Description

Escape to your own private retreat where you can enjoy your morning coffee while watching deer graze, immersing yourself in the serenity of nature right at your doorstep. Comprising two lots that total just over 21 acres, this A-1 zoned property is a former plant nursery that is perfectly suited for continued use as an agriculture-focused farm. Down a long, tree-lined drive are the main areas of the farm, which offer a variety of amenities. A large, well-built Morton building offers space for RV storage, large equipment storage, or use as a workshop if desired, complete with an upper loft area for added storage options. The Morton building also includes the property’s private residence– a unique barndominium that has been carefully designed. With a total of 2-bedrooms and 1-full and 1-half bath, the barndominium features rustic touches throughout and over 2,100 sq.ft. of space. The kitchen is fully equipped with ample cabinet and counter space, stainless steel appliances, gas range, tiled back splash, built-in wine rack, and breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry area, which has its own sink and storage. A large living room offers ample opportunity to relax and unwind after a long day and is currently used as a combination living area and office thanks to its large size. The primary suite is a true escape from the daily hustle and bustle, with a larger layout that includes a stone gas-burning fireplace with wood mantle, an expansive walk-in closet with built-in shelving system. To the back of the barndominium is a large screen-enclosed lanai that overlooks the surrounding green space, providing ample space for seating or hosting if desired. An above-ground pool area features a large wooden pool deck and tasteful tropical landscaping, providing the perfect place to cool down in Central Florida’s warmer months. Several greenhouses are in-place on the acreage, all of which are on a separate well from the residence. Additional out-buildings provide the option for use as workshops or storage buildings as desired. This property is well-suited for those looking to grow their agricultural business and enjoy the property’s stunning countryside location, with potential for continued use as a nursery or conversion for other uses such as cattle or canine breeding. The property is home to abundant wildlife and a classic Florida landscape, making this a great option for sportsmen looking to take advantage of nearby Black Sink Prairie, Orange Lake, and the many other outdoor opportunities in the area. Citra is highly convenient for those looking to explore other nearby areas as well, with both Ocala and Gainesville a scenic drive away for a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical options. If you're an outdoor enthusiast dreaming of your ideal country retreat, this property is the perfect option to consider!
