About the host
Hosted by Lee Mary Whitted 3526657878
Though, I enjoy the water immensely on the ocean or my lake home, my passion is horses. Whether it’s racing, trail rides or being at the equine therapeutic center my daughter has for helping children and adults emotionally and/or physically. I enjoy being a mother of 3 and grandmother of 8 children, ranging from the ages of 14 years old to 27 years old. Just became a great grandmother as of August 7. We all love to ride our horses and go fishing. I grew up in Boca Raton and moved to Gainesville to go to college. I am a massage therapist working in Gainesville & Williston. I am blessed to have the opportunity to go a Spirit Filled Church at the United Pentecostal Church of Gainesville and when in Williston, I attend the church of God, not too far from my Williston home.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because my best friend and I got wonderful jobs when we were younger in our late 20’s, exercising race horses on the track, cleaning stalls and laughing all the time with the wonderful people in Williston. As we got older, we both decided we want to live in the Williston area mostly because of the people and small hometown feel. I have a primary home in Hawthorne on a lake and I like to share so I thought the Williston House would be good as it allows a person to feel like they are in a quaint bed and breakfast but allows you to have the freedom of having the home all to yourself for have a holiday event, graduation or wedding/reception. This home has so much history since being built in 1901. Also, within walking distance to most anywhere you need to go.
What makes this property unique
Large fenced in yard, peaceful neighborhood, nice neighbors and next to Library. Perfect location to walk to stores, restaurants, gym, hair salon, grocery store, medical, Dentist, Antiques & gift shops. Easy drive to Devil's Den Springs, Blue Grotto, Elephant Farm, 100-acre rock quarry. A little longer drive to Cedar Key water sports, Ocala Horse sports and Gainesville Gator Sports.
