A handyman’s dream home on 5 idyllic acres in Alachua, offering sweeping views of lush foliage including grape vines, fruit trees, evergreen trees, and oak trees!

Stepping indoors you will discover a vaulted ceiling, dining area to the left with kitchen beyond, and light-filled living room directly ahead. To the right and down the hall is a guest bath with tub/shower combo, and two big guest bedrooms with nice-sized closets. Off the living room is a huge primary suite complete with a large closet and an ensuite bath that includes a walk-in shower and tub. The kitchen boasts a newer stove and dishwasher, lots of cabinet space, pantry, and easy flow to the laundry room equipped with a washer and dryer.
