Set on 4.2 fully fenced acres in the horse-friendly Meadow Wood Farms community and just minutes from the World Equestrian Center, this newer-construction 3-bed, 2-bath home offers a distinctive combination of space, setting, and location in Ocala’s horse country. The 2,035 sq ft concrete block and stucco home features a welcoming screened-in front porch, an attached finished 2-car garage with closet and utility sink, and a Generac whole-house generator. Indoors, the home immediately opens into an expansive great room, where a vaulted ceiling rises overhead and porcelain tile flooring extends throughout. Sliding glass doors draw your eye to the acreage outside, bringing the home’s natural surroundings into view and creating a striking sense of openness. The room includes a formal dining area and living space, but the kitchen takes center stage with its large island, warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, farmhouse-style sink and herringbone tile backsplash, giving it a polished, upscale feel, while plantation shutters add a finished touch to the breakfast nook windows. Porcelain tile flooring continues into the bedrooms and both bathrooms. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with granite countertops, dual vanities and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. A split bedroom plan places the 2 guest bedrooms and full guest bath on the opposite side of the great room. The indoor laundry room sits conveniently between the kitchen and garage. At the rear of the home, a screened-in back porch overlooks the fully fenced acreage, providing a comfortable place to enjoy the peaceful outdoor setting. Two detached outbuildings add valuable storage, and the property leaves room for a future barn or cross-fencing. Beyond the neighborhood, Ocala offers a variety of shopping, dining, parks and recreational opportunities, with the SR 200 corridor providing an extensive selection of retail stores and restaurants.
