Lakefront Retreat in the Osceola National Forest on Ocean Pond
Nestled on the shores of Ocean Pond, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath lake house offers the perfect blend of seclusion and modern comfort. Spanning 2,000 square feet, this private retreat is located in the heart of the 200,000-acre Osceola National Forest, with access to ATV trails, Wildlife Management Area hunting, and endless outdoor adventures. The 1,800-acre Ocean Pond, hailed as North Florida's hidden gem by First Coast News, is your backyard playground. This charming home features Cafe appliances, a massive kitchen island, a large outdoor kitchen, stunning views, and a spacious butler's pantry. Enjoy the waterfront views from the open deck or the nearly 500-square-foot screened porch, perfect for entertaining. The private dock spans the length of the backyard from the open deck to a covered pavilion with a large bar area, sink, and two covered boat slips, one with a power lift. A second screened porch with a six-person hot tub off the master suite offers a peaceful escape.
Gated with an attached carport, this lakefront home is just 12 miles from Lake City but feels like a world away.
