Halpata Tastanaki Preserve
Neighborhood in Dunnellon, Florida
Marion County 34432
Rainbow River homes and secluded forest abodes
Locals live along paved and dirt country roads fringed by dense wetland forests and dangling Spanish moss. Quiet neighborhood homes sit along the edges of the preserve’s forests or the Rainbow River and Withlacoochee River, which meet on the western end of the neighborhood. The residential landscape features a range of established homes from the late 20th century and contemporary homes built in the last ten years. The size of the home lot and the surrounding nature are some of the main draws to this community, with home lots ranging from a quarter-acre to four acres and even more for those looking to build on undeveloped lots. Prices in the area range from $200,000 for a modest but established ranch-style home to $470,000 for a recently built contemporary style house.
