Off 197th PlMicanopy, FL, 32667

Just outside McIntosh, Florida, this offering includes two vacant parcels with a combination of natural setting and practical buildability that’s hard to come by in this part of the state. The land is wooded, featuring a mix of mature oaks and massive pine trees that give it an established, shaded character you won’t find on a freshly cleared tract. A cleared easement runs along the north side of the property, providing a defined access route without disturbing the timber across the rest of the acreage.

The land is buildable and well-suited for a country home on acreage, giving buyers the option to design a homestead, a weekend retreat, or a long-term residence surrounded by mature trees, rather than starting from bare ground. The acreage offers flexibility for a buyer’s plans, whether that means building a single residence, setting aside land for outbuildings, or simply enjoying the space and privacy that comes with a larger wooded lot. The surrounding area adds significantly to the appeal.

The property is surrounded by horse properties, placing it firmly in the heart of Marion County’s horse country and giving it the kind of neighboring land use that keeps the area feeling open, rural, and well-cared-for. For equestrian buyers specifically, the location is hard to beat: the World Equestrian Center is only about 30 minutes away, putting world-class training, competition, and events within easy reach.

Location also works well for everyday living. The property sits roughly halfway between Ocala and Gainesville, giving owners a reasonable drive to either city for shopping, dining, medical care, or entertainment, and it offers a short commute to I-75, keeping regional travel simple whether heading north, south, or into either nearby city for work.

Altogether, this property offers mature hardwood and pine timber, a cleared, accessible north-side easement, genuine buildability for a country home, and a horse-country setting close to the World Equestrian Center, Ocala, Gainesville, and I-75. For buyers looking for wooded acreage with real development potential in one of the region’s most desirable rural corridors, this is a property worth seeing in person.
