HIDDEN GEM ON 9 ACRES WITH PRIVATE LAKE CAPTURES THE REAL RUSTIC FLORIDA EXPERIENCE. If a tucked away haven sheltered from the hassle of crowds with convenience to Ocala and the Gulf Coast sounds appealing, this unique opportunity may very well fill the bill. This cozy classic Florida home is nestled in an oak-shaded lakeside setting surrounded by unspoiled natural beauty. From its traditional front porch, you are welcomed into a roomy living area with a central free-standing fireplace that works to define a main lounging and a kitchen-casual dining space. Enhancing the home are covered screen rooms both Front & Back. Refurbished features of the home include an upgraded water treatment system, drywall, plumbing fixtures, a newer roof, and installation of recycled metal exterior panels that work to create the feel of a genuine "cracker" home. Although some interior trim, the master shower, and installation of an HVAC system will be needed to complete this unique find, the home is ready to move in. Highlighting the large 9-acre parcel are two access roads, cleared park-like areas, walking trails, and the on-site Spring-Fed Lake, offering an ideal setting for relaxing with a morning cup of coffee and the joy of fishing for dinner. Area residents further benefit from a nearby dedicated boat ramp on the picturesque Withlacoochee River. Access off nearby Route 200 provides quick and easy travel to Ocala, Inverness, and Crystal River. If you are looking for a weekend getaway, vacation retreat, or secluded place to call home, this is worth taking a closer look.
