Set on 10.65 acres across two parcels, this elevated hilltop property offers substantial living space, open acreage and expansive views in a country setting between Gainesville and Ocala. At the center of the property is a five-bedroom, three-bath main residence, complemented by a separate one-bedroom, one-bath guest house, creating two distinct residential spaces within the property. The main residence features five bedrooms, three baths, a bonus room and extensive storage, including a full-length attic accessible from both sides of the home. Significant updates include a 2017 roof and windows and a 2020 heating and air-conditioning system with Air Scrubber air purification. The crawlspace was professionally encapsulated in 2020 and includes two sump pumps and two dehumidifiers. A hardwired security system, exterior cameras and interior monitor provide additional functionality. The separate one-bedroom, one-bath guest house expands the property's possibilities with additional private living space for guests or other uses. Energy-conscious features include 70-plus leased solar panels installed in 2022, serving the main residence and maintained by the solar company, with the system offsetting the majority, and often all, of the home's electrical usage.

Beyond the residences, the acreage is equipped for agricultural and recreational use. A large metal barn is located on the back parcel, while a newer barn on the lower parcel provides convenient access from the main residence.
