Bring your vision to five acres near the entrance to Blue Spring State Park and the St John's River! This concrete-block residence offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and almost 2500 square feet of living area, along with an in-ground pool, a substantial detached masonry garage and multiple accessory structures - all without an HOA.

Inside, an expansive open living, dining and country style kitchen area creates a dramatic central gathering space with abundant windows, warm woodlook flooring, built-in shelving and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The oversized kitchen provides a large island, extensive cabinetry and room to rethink the space around the way you live. Multiple living areas and three bedrooms provide flexibility for a home office, studio or guest space.

Beyond the residence, the acreage opens to broad grassy areas framed by mature trees. An in-ground pool and surrounding deck offer the foundation for an outdoor retreat. The approximately 1,152-square-foot detached masonry garage provides workshop, vehicle and storage potential, while coops and small-animal structures support chickens, rabbits and similar animals. Additional outbuildings provide further project possibilities, although some require renovation.

Property will qualify for cash or appropriate renovation financing.

Blue Spring State Park offers paddling, trails, picnicking, wildlife viewing and access to the St. Johns River, while nearby Orange City and DeLand provide shopping, dining, services and connections to US 17-92 and I-4. For the buyer seeking acreage, space and the opportunity to restore a distinctive property, this is a setting with possibilities rarely found so close to town.
