Tucked between the charm of Ocala and the energy of Gainesville, this 4.5-acre retreat in Citra is the perfect canvas for hobby farmers, homesteaders, or anyone seeking a slower pace in a private country setting. Tucked down a quiet, unpaved lane, this custom-built 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Light and bright, the home invites the outdoors in through expansive windows that frame sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The living area serves as a true focal point, where picture windows span two walls, highlighting the landscape while warm wooden tray ceilings add depth and character. A bonus of built-in storage enhances the room’s functionality. For those who enjoy cooking, the kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of cabinet storage, tile countertops, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and a center island. Outdoors is where the property truly shines! Fenced and zoned A-1, the farm is well-suited for a multitude of uses including small livestock or equestrian use. A 2-stall barn is established with plenty of space for an additional 2 or more stalls. An additional shed, workshop, green house, and a cabana offer versatile utility with ample opportunity for further customization. Gentle shade can be found throughout the property from mature trees, including stunning oaks and some fruit trees. With a 2-car garage and an additional carport, there's room for equipment, trailers, or visitors. Whether you’re dreaming of farm-fresh mornings, space to grow, or just a quiet country backdrop with proximity to major cities, this property blends lifestyle and land with plenty of potential to make it your own.
