Welcome home to peaceful, open-space living on this beautiful 2+ acre property in the highly desirable Meadows of Kanapaha! Nestled in a unique “farmette”-style community in SW Gainesville, this neighborhood offers the perfect blend of rural charm and modern convenience—featuring low HOA fees, paved roads, underground utilities, and expansive homesites (minimum 1.43 acres) ideal for both residential and equestrian lifestyles. Finding this kind of acrage so close to Gainesville city limits is very limited today! Sitting on a large cul-de-sac, surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, you’ll love the quiet atmosphere, minimal traffic, and scenic surroundings—perfect for morning walks, evening horse rides, or simply enjoying the tranquility of nature right outside your door. With plenty of space to expand, this property easily accommodates an accessory dwelling unit, guest house, or even horses. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and designed for comfortable, modern living. The open-concept floor plan creates a bright, airy feel, enhanced by recently replaced windows and glass doors leading to the brand new back deck! The layout offers two guest bedrooms and a shared bathroom downstairs, while the private upstairs primary suite provides a peaceful retreat. Recent upgrades add tremendous value and peace of mind, including: New Roof (2022), HVAC system (2023), Water Heater (2022), Beautifully renovated bathrooms (2022 & 2025), Exterior Paint (2018), and New Deck (2026). An added bonus: NO GRU—enjoy the savings of Clay Electric! The versatile garage space can function as a traditional garage, or easily transform into additional living space, complete with an insulated door, a screen enclosure, and its own mini-split system. Location is everything, and this home delivers—just minutes from Archer Road’s premier shopping, dining, and entertainment, including Celebration Pointe, Butler Plaza, Haile Village Center, and Shands Hospital. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of peaceful paradise with room to live, grow, and enjoy everything North Central Florida has to offer!
