With a brand-new roof and more than 7,200 square feet of living space, the 5-bedroom, 6-full and 2-half bath home makes an immediate impression with its Spanish/Mediterranean-inspired architecture and dual attached garages. Sweeping picture windows make views of the surrounding property part of the home, complemented by elegant finishes including crown molding, coffered and tray ceilings, porcelain tile and engineered hardwood flooring, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces. The spacious kitchen serves as a centerpiece with solid wood cabinetry, stone counters, abundant prep and storage space, stainless steel appliances, a large center island with breakfast bar, and chandelier-style lighting. Flowing living and dining areas are equally suited for intimate evenings or large-scale entertaining, while a dedicated first-floor office/library is ideal for working from home. An elegant staircase and built-in elevator add convenience and accessibility between levels. On the main floor, the primary suite offers a private retreat with multiple walk-in closets, a wet bar, and spacious en-suite bath with dual vanities, a jacuzzi-style tub, and oversized walk-in shower with multiple shower heads. Additional bedrooms and baths are located on both floors, while multiple living areas provide abundant flexibility for recreation, hobbies, work, or gathering. A sprawling second-floor recreation room with a wet bar/kitchenette offers potential to create a more private guest or in-law suite. At the back of the home, a screen-enclosed saltwater pool anchors the expansive patio area, accompanied by covered entertaining spaces including an outdoor kitchen and grill, outdoor shower, and plenty of room for dining and relaxing. Balconies and screened outdoor spaces extend the living area even further, creating multiple vantage points from which to enjoy the property. Beyond the residence, the acreage opens to four pastures with board and cross fencing already in place. Zoned for horses and other livestock, the property offers flexibility for a variety of agricultural pursuits or recreational use while maintaining privacy. Established garden beds and an olive grove are ready for those who enjoy cultivating the land. Despite its peaceful setting, the estate remains remarkably convenient to Downtown Ocala and the city's major employment and medical centers, including nearby AdventHealth Ocala and HCA Florida Ocala Hospital. For equestrians, the World Equestrian Center (WEC) and HITS are also a short drive away, providing convenient access to two of the area's major competition venues. Whether envisioned as a refined country retreat, equestrian property, or picturesque place to enjoy acreage living, this distinctive estate offers a rare combination of space, versatility, and location.
