PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Immersive nature, income producing potential, and generous outdoor options– This 21+ acre farm is home to abundant wildlife and a classic Florida landscape, with a location that’s unbeatable for outdoorsmen. The property is conveniently close to Rodman Reservoir, which is nationally known for its large bass, as well as the St. Johns River and Orange Lake. The Ocala National Forests are also nearby, opening up a variety of 4-wheeling, mud bogging, and hunting opportunities. For equestrians, the Ocala Jockey Club is roughly 30 minutes away, while HITS and WEC are 35 minutes away respectively. Zoned A-1, this property is a former plant nursery that is perfectly suited for continued use as an agriculturally focused farm with income producing potential. Down a long, tree-lined drive are the main areas of the farm– A large, well-built Morton building offers space for large equipment storage or use as a workshop, complete with an upper loft area for added storage options. A full RV hookup is also in place, providing additional options for potential guests or seasonal income. The 4,428 sqft under roof Morton building also includes the property’s private residence– a unique barndominium constructed in 2015. Entering through a screen-enclosed lanai, the barndominium offers a total of 2-bedrooms and a full split bathroom with an incredibly spacious 2,100 sqft under heat and air. Rustic touches are present throughout, and the commercial-style kitchen is fully equipped with ample cabinet and counter space, stainless steel appliances, gas range, tiled back splash, built-in wine rack, and breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is the laundry area, which has its own sink and storage. A large living room provides plenty of opportunity to relax and unwind after a long day and is currently used as a combination living area and office thanks to its uncommonly large size. The primary suite is a true escape from the daily hustle and bustle, another uncommonly large space that features a stone gas-burning fireplace with wood mantle and an expansive wrap-around walk-in closet with built-in shelving system. An above-ground pool area includes a large wooden pool deck and tasteful tropical landscaping, providing the perfect place to cool down. Several greenhouses are in-place on the acreage, all of which are on a separate well from the residence. An additional out-building provides the option for use as a workshop or a storage building as desired. This property is well-suited for those looking to grow their agricultural operation and enjoy the property’s stunning countryside location, with potential for continued use as a nursery or conversion for other uses such as horses, cattle, or canine interests. Citra is highly convenient for those looking to explore other nearby areas as well, with both Ocala and Gainesville a scenic drive away for a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical options. If you're an outdoor enthusiast dreaming of your ideal country retreat, this property is the perfect option to consider!
