Tucked among mature oaks on five acres of Florida countryside, this Hartley Brothers home captures the feeling of space, privacy, and timeless craftsmanship. Built in 2020 by one of North Florida’s most respected custom builders, it blends modern comfort with refined design and exceptional attention to detail. Every aspect of the home was thoughtfully planned, from its open-concept floor plan to the curated finishes that make each space feel both elegant and inviting.

The gourmet kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, designed for both function and beauty. It features a fourteen-foot island with quartz countertops, a deep stainless-steel sink, custom hood, soft-close cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting. A built-in coffee and wine bar adds convenience and style, while the separate butler-style pantry with butcher block counters and floor-to-ceiling shelving provides additional workspace and storage. Natural light pours into the living and dining areas, highlighting a brick fireplace, built-in shelves, and wide views of the surrounding property through oversized windows and French doors that open to the covered back porch.

The back porch offers the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining, with ceiling fans, plumbing for a future summer kitchen, and a peaceful view of the fenced backyard and fire pit area. The fenced section directly off the porch provides a secure area for dogs or pets to enjoy, while the remaining acreage extends beyond, left natural and open for recreation, future additions, or simply enjoying the beauty of the countryside.

The front porch welcomes guests with timeless charm and overlooks the manicured front yard, which includes drip irrigation for the flower beds and the option to expand the system if desired.

The primary suite feels like a private retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, a spa-style bath with a freestanding soaking tub, dual shower, and a fully custom walk-in closet with built-in drawers, shelving, and hidden storage. Two additional bedrooms share a full guest bathroom with a single vanity and elegant finishes. An office or flex space with a closet, a large laundry room with a utility sink, a half bath with both indoor and outdoor access, and a dedicated mudroom offer versatility and comfort for daily living. The three-car garage provides generous storage and space for vehicles, equipment, and hobbies.

The home is equipped with a smart thermostat and smart irrigation controls, offering both efficiency and modern convenience. The five-acre parcel is cleared in the center and framed by mature tree lines along the edges, providing privacy while still allowing open views and soft breezes. Oak Ridge Crossing is known for its spacious homesites, quality-built homes, and tranquil setting. With well and septic utilities, a low and relaxed HOA, and convenient access to both Gainesville and Alachua, this property combines the peace of country living with the ease of modern luxury.
