One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac beneath century-old oaks, this private gated estate on nearly 5 acres offers the kind of outdoor living that's hard to find anywhere in Ocala — a resort-style saltwater pool with waterfalls, a fully screened and covered lanai, and an outdoor kitchen made for year-round entertaining. Inside, over 6,700 square feet of flexible living space includes a private study, an in-law/guest suite, a media room, and a rare climate-controlled basement workshop — ideal for a collector, hobbyist, or anyone wanting space the average home simply doesn't offer. The kitchen has been freshly renovated with solid surface counters and custom cabinetry, opening to a great room warmed by one of three fireplaces. A whole-house generator, two tankless water heaters, and elevated construction mean genuine peace of mind. Conveniently located just minutes from Ocala's leading medical facilities, downtown Ocala, premier dining, shopping, top-rated schools, and the Florida Greenway and Santos Trail systems, this estate offers an unmatched balance of accessibility and privacy. This is a rare offering for a buyer who wants space, privacy, and true resort living without compromise.
