LOCATION:
Located in the southwest corner of Ocala, we are just 7 miles from SR-40 entrance to World Equestrian Center and 11 miles to Rainbow River. We love the vast wildlife and outdoor activities that surround the area-Rainbow springs, nature coast, and the Ocala National Forest.

THE HOUSE:
You’ll enter the front door into a large great room with vaulted ceilings. There is a cozy spot to watch TV on our 65” OLED or stream music on the Sonos Arc soundbar. A new leather sofa and love seat are a great place to kick back.

At the back end of the great room is our 8-top dining room table, perfect for large family dinners.

Enter through double doors to the spacious master bedroom en suite. The centerpiece is a king platform bed (new ‘Avocado’ mattress, with 9 inches of organic latex, plus organic cotton). On each side of the bed are reading lights and matching night stand shelves. A 50” Smart TV rests above the desk. If you are an early riser, step outside your private door to the patio area and enjoy the sunrise.
The attached master bathroom has dual lavatories, a sizable walk in shower and corner soaking tub.

The front bonus bedroom offers another king bed with new ‘Avocado’ organic latex mattress, premium cotton sheets and 4 plush pillows.

Our kitchen is furnished with new granite counter tops, stainless appliances, double oven, pots, pans, utensils, blender, and more for cooking any of your favorite dishes.

We have a small breakfast nook off the kitchen; a great place to enjoy your morning coffee. There is a complimentary coffee/ tea bar with Keurig, coffee grinder, French press and hot water kettle.

On the west side of the home are two bedrooms with single beds. For additional accommodations trundle beds slide out from each twin bed.

Between the two west bedrooms is a full bathroom with a tub/ shower combo.

The laundry room is equipped with a new Whirlpool washer (top loader) and dryer and utility sink available for guests. Fragrant free detergent is provided in this Load & Go washer.

On the back of the house, accessible from the great room or master bedroom is a lanai (screen porch) with wicker seating and string lights. Beyond the lanai is a paver patio with table/ chairs and charcoal grill.

RV/ Trailer parking is available with 30 amp electric and water hookups. Sewer hookups not available. RV/ Camper guests count towards overall number of guests on the property.

Wifi connection is through Starlink Satelite internet. Speeds are generally good, but may fluctuate during storms or peak hours.

We have five children 11yrs and under, and a Bernedoodle named Otter. We spend most of our time outdoors-swimming, golfing, baseball or camping.

Our latest adventure is our vacation home in Ocala, Florida. We love the many outdoor activities the immediate area provides. while also being within a 1-2 hour drive of Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville and Daytona.

Why they chose this property

As KY natives we were drawn to the other “horse capital of the world” and the beautiful new World Equestrian Center in Ocala. We sought this 4 bedroom 2 bath house for our 5 children, plus a bonus bedroom for the grandparents. We were especially drawn to the 2 acre property for the mature oak trees and valuable shade they provide in the summer. The RV hookups are a bonus for friends and family that travel in style. We think you’ll also love the relaxing atmosphere at our Ocala homestead.

What makes this property unique

We are only 11 miles to the beautiful Rainbow River and 7 miles to the World Equestrian Center. We are also within a short drive of dozens of other beautiful natural springs… Silver Springs, Ichetucknee Springs, Salt Springs, Juniper Springs, Silver Glen Springs, Crystal River, De Leon Springs, Rock Springs and more.
