Description
Embrace the elegance of equestrian living on this exceptional 5-acre estate in peaceful Countryside Farms, where a beautifully updated main residence, private guest house, and a resort-inspired pool area await. This gated property within a gated community offers a tranquil, park-like setting with a natural buffer along the back side of the community, creating the ultimate sanctuary in the city. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Ocala's renowned World Equestrian Center and 20 minutes from Florida Horse Park and the trails of the Florida Greenway, while close to doctors, hospitals, restaurants, and shopping. The 3BR/2.5BA main residence blends timeless architecture with modern sophistication, anchored by a stunning chef's kitchen remodeled in 2020. Quartz countertops, a sleek tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and wall oven with convection microwave, and an expansive walk-in pantry make this space both efficient and refined. The split-bedroom layout offers privacy and flow, while the all-season sunroom invites relaxation with serene resort-like pool views. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm to the living area, while the sturdy built-in shelving in every closet provides smart, organized storage. The spacious owner's suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite with a deep jetted tub, walk-in shower, and double-sink vanity. Remodeled guest and half bath showcase quartz surfaces and lighted mirrors for a touch of luxury. Dual HVAC systems, a whole-house vacuum, and a large laundry room with abundant storage add comfort and convenience throughout. The furnished 1BR/1BA guest house offers a private haven for visitors or the perfect quarters for your equestrian trainer or tenant, complete with a walk-in closet, full kitchen, new roof (2025), HVAC (2024), and an oversized equipment garage with laundry area. Outdoors, your private oasis awaits with a sparkling propane-heated resort-style pool and spa with a cabana bath, surrounded by lush, irrigated landscaping. Additional highlights include a decorative gate, RV hookup, a large shady dog yard, new roofs on the sunroom and pool cabana, and a new pool pump for peace of mind. For the equestrian enthusiast, the property features a concrete 4-stall center-aisle barn with two in-and-out stalls with dry paddocks, rubber-matted floors, fans, automatic waterers, a tack and feed room, and an outdoor wash rack. The cross-fenced grounds also include two large pastures with automatic waterers and a professionally installed 200' x 80' sand and fiber arena completed in 2020 and equipped with irrigation. This rare offering combines luxury, privacy, and equestrian excellence, creating a tranquil retreat in a desirable location that is close to everything you need.
