Overlooking 30+ acres of Central Florida countryside, this stunning property is rooted in Marion County history and traces its roots all the way back to the 1800’s. Originally a dairy farm, many artifacts can still be found throughout the property.

Gently shaded by grand oaks, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath home is an exceptional space for those looking for peace and tranquility. The interiors are defined by soaring cathedral ceilings, tasteful paint choices, ample natural light, and wood flooring throughout the main spaces. The living area includes a cozy wood-burning fireplace for cooler winter nights and access to the back patio. For those who enjoy cooking, the kitchen is well-equipped with lots of counter and cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, adjacent breakfast nook and formal dining areas, and views into both the living and family rooms. All bedrooms provide ample space for relaxation, but the primary suite is especially notable with tray ceiling accents, a huge walk-in closet, and a private en-suite with dual sinks, a large garden tub, and spacious walk-in shower with dual showerheads. The home offers lots of flexibility, with spaces devoted to office space, a den, and more. To the back of the residence is a breathtaking patio area that is a true oasis with lots of foliage, a covered area, and a stunning pergola that has vining plants for extended shade. A side-entry 2-car garage is attached, and the home also includes an indoor laundry room with shelving, two wells, and two septics. Outside of the home, the property features an organic vineyard that features over 500 vines along 3.5 acres. Mature pecan, citrus, and olive trees are also present on the property.
