UNDER CONTRACT!!!! Seller will replace the roof prior to sale! Located just outside the Gainesville city limits, this beautifully crafted solid cedar wood home—built in 1984—offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience on 4.42 acres in a community of custom-built homes with oversized lots and access to scenic neighborhood trails, perfect for peaceful walks and horseback riding—this community loves horses, so bring them! The home provides 2,840 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms (including a Jack-and-Jill), and a spacious upstairs loft with its own bath and walk-in closet. The main living area boasts dramatic vaulted ceilings, while the kitchen and primary bath are equipped with sleek granite countertops. Hardwood floors in the living room and primary bedroom add warmth and charm, and French doors create an inviting entrance into the home. Outdoor living is just as impressive, featuring a large screened-in porch with a hot tub, a private pool surrounded by mature landscaping, and a peaceful artificial pond with a custom rock waterfall that often attracts local deer. A detached shed provides convenient storage, and all of this is just 15 minutes from UF, Shands, the VA, and close to shopping and dining. This well-maintained home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless craftsmanship, open space, and modern comfort, all within easy reach of Gainesville’s amenities.
