Welcome to Your Dream Country Retreat! Homes like this don’t come on the market often—this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with an office (or optional 6th bedroom) is a rare find! Nestled on over 10 acres down a quiet private road with only four houses, this property offers peaceful seclusion just minutes from Alachua and Gainesville. The home has been freshly painted inside and out! Step inside and you’ll be welcomed by a cozy living room centered around a stunning fireplace. To your right, a spacious formal dining room is perfect for hosting gatherings. The kitchen is a cook’s dream—featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a gas range for true culinary enjoyment. The primary suite is a private haven with tray ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and an absolutely stunning en suite bathroom. Enjoy a spa-like experience in the oversized walk-in shower with a rainfall showerhead, built-in bench, extra jets, and glass enclosure. The bath also features a vintage-style clawfoot tub, dual vanities, and a linen closet. The home's thoughtful layout separates two bedrooms, a full bath, and an office on one side, while two more bedrooms are located past the laundry room—ideal for a growing family. A breezeway connects the home to a two-car garage, and a large circular driveway offers ample parking. There is even an RV hook-up and parking. Outdoors, you’ll fall in love with the wrap-around porch—perfect for sipping coffee on the swing while watching the local wildlife. The in-ground pool is ready for summer fun, and the mature landscaping with fruit trees enhances the serene setting. A pole barn and shed provide plenty of room to store tools, toys, or tractors. This home offers the best of both worlds—country living with city convenience. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your country dream a reality!
