Tucked away within the tranquil Northwood Farms neighborhood and located just a short drive from both Gainesville and Ocala, this 1.26-acre property is the ideal blend of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience! Fully fenced with a gated entry, the land is high and dry with open ranch views across the road that creates an idyllic setting. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath double-wide home (2000 Merit) is move-in ready and features a practical split-bedroom layout with tile and wood laminate flooring throughout. The living and dining areas flow into a cozy country-style kitchen, and the interior laundry room (washer/dryer included) sits just off the kitchen for easy access. All major appliances were updated in 2023–2024, and a newer HVAC (2023) keeps the home comfortable year-round. Step outside to enjoy inviting outdoor living spaces: a covered front porch overlooking pasture views, a spacious 12' x 21' screened patio out back, and a firepit area to round out the backyard ambiance perfect for relaxing evenings or casual entertaining. There's plenty of space here for both people and animals to thrive, with plenty of opportunity to customize the property to further suit your needs. Additional features include a 20' x 20' metal carport (2022), a 10' x 16' utility/storage shed with a portable A/C unit (2025), and a large 8' x 40' metal workshop with multiple covered extensions for equipment or project storage. Many of North Central Florida’s natural attractions are just a short distance away, including Blue Grotto, Cedar Lakes, Devil’s Den, and many other, while equestrian venues like the World Equestrian Center (WEC), HITS, Black Prong, and Goethe State Forest trailheads are all within a 30 minute drive. Work in the city and live in the country– this property gives you the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds with no HOA!
