Virtually Staged. Experience the perfect combination of spacious country living, modern upgrades, and breathtaking natural surroundings with this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath farmhouse offering 5,272 square feet on 14.25 agriculturally zoned acres along Lake Bryant! Framed by majestic oaks, fruit trees, and abundant wildlife, the property includes approximately 7 acres of high-and-dry, fully fenced land and 7 acres of natural wetlands. Extensive renovations and approximately 300 feet of lake frontage make this a unique opportunity for country living.

Step inside to a spacious, open-concept layout offering plenty of room for everyday living, gathering, and entertaining. The beautifully updated kitchen features granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space. Porcelain tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, complemented by wood laminate flooring upstairs. With five bedrooms and multiple living spaces, this home offers flexibility for larger households, extended family, and guests. Three bedrooms feature private ensuite bathrooms, including the spacious primary suite with an oversized walk-in shower with dual showerheads, dual sinks, a separate vanity, and two walk-in closets. A handicap-accessible mother-in-law suite offers its own private bathroom and adjoining living area, creating a comfortable and private space for multigenerational living. Above the garage, a generously sized bonus room features beautiful views of the surrounding property and its own dedicated AC unit, offering additional flexible space not included in the advertised square footage.

Major improvements include a new roof, a Daikin variable inverter HVAC system (approximately $60,000), a new Culligan water filtration system with two additional iron-filtering tanks, and a new well pump. Enjoy a newly built porch and floating deck. The home is prepared for a future PV solar system and features 12-inch-thick solid-filled concrete block exterior walls. An oversized two-car side-entry garage includes a 220-volt outlet and extended parking pad.

Outdoors, the fenced grounds offer room for gardening, animals, or a hobby farm, with five underground water lines throughout the yard. Potential sites for a barn, additional home, or pool are subject to zoning, permitting, and other approvals. Deer, wild turkeys, peacocks, and sandhill cranes frequent the property. The expansive grounds provide a beautiful setting to enjoy the outdoors, with towering oak trees offering shade and character throughout the property. Whether you envision raising animals, cultivating a garden, or creating your own private retreat, the combination of open space and natural surroundings offers plenty of possibilities.

Approximately 300 feet of frontage borders spring-fed Lake Bryant. Wetlands separate the usable upland acreage from the lake; there is no dock or dry-land walking access to the shore. A public boat ramp is approximately three minutes away.

Just outside Ocala near the Ocala National Forest, enjoy access to Silver Springs, Juniper Springs, Silver Glen Springs, and Salt Springs, plus boating, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. Approximately 25 minutes to The Villages, 45 minutes to the World Equestrian Center, and an hour to Daytona Beach. Discover the space, versatility, and natural beauty of this Lake Bryant property!
