12895 NW GAINESVILLE ROAD Amongst established horse farms in Marion County’s quiet countryside, this 21+ acre farm is an immaculately maintained option for passionate equestrians. High and dry, the property features lush pastures with gentle roll and wide open spaces gently dotted by mature oaks. Fenced and gated, the property is nicely private and features brand new fencing. A long tree-lined paved drive leads to the inviting home and continues back towards the large shed-row style barn. Perfect for equestrians of multiple disciplines, the barn features a total of 19 stalls, equipment storage, and a fully renovated multi-story barn apartment. Multiple paddocks are in-place, as is a riding ring for added training options. The 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is a tasteful dog-trot style construction that has been elegantly remodeled. The home has plenty of curb appeal with tasteful landscaping and a large covered front porch that provides ample space for seating. High ceilings run throughout the interiors and a split-bedroom floor plan ensures plenty of privacy. The kitchen is well-appointed for those who enjoy cooking, with stainless steel appliances including a matching vent hood, lots of cabinet storage, tiled backsplash, a large center-island with stack-stoned detailing, and an additional pantry. Directly open to the kitchen is the living area, which includes a stunning floor-to-ceiling decorative stone electric fireplace and lots of natural light. The primary suite is a particularly attractive option with a larger layout, direct access to the patio via a set of french doors, a huge walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, garden tub, and a spacious walk-in shower. A huge covered back patio looks out to the barn and nearby pastures, providing the perfect place to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee or enjoy an informal meal in the warmer months. Attached to the home via a covered breezeway is a separate studio that could be used as a private office, hobby area, private suite, or anything in between. Separate from the home is a covered carport area that could be used as a separate entertaining space if preferred, with tongue and groove ceilings, ceiling fans, and added storage space. Both the World Equestrian Center and HITS are just a scenic 20 minute drive from the farm, opening up year-round competition and spectating opportunities. Downtown Ocala and Gainesville are both roughly 30 minutes from the farm, providing abundant shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical options in both areas.
