Property Description
Welcome to your own private homestead retreat! Nestled beneath a stunning canopy of mature trees on more than 5 picturesque acres along the shores of Oldfield Pond, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and agricultural potential. The property is already flourishing with numerous fruit trees, blueberry bushes, and an established vegetable garden, creating an ideal foundation for a thriving food forest, hobby farm, or sustainable homestead. Zoned AR, the property also allows for limited livestock and farm animals. Conveniently located just minutes from Keystone Heights and historic Melrose, and within approximately 30 minutes of Gainesville, Starke, Palatka, Ocala, and Middleburg, you'll enjoy peaceful country living with easy access to surrounding communities. The home features approximately 1,830 square feet of heated and cooled living space and over 3,180 square feet under roof, including a spacious 780-square-foot garage, a one-car carport, a covered front porch, an enclosed sunroom / versatile flex room complete with a bar. Inside, the split-bedroom floor plan offers both functionality and comfort. The galley-style kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances installed in 2021, granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and ceramic tile flooring. The spacious living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining area. The owner's suite includes ceramic tile flooring, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed bathroom with a walk-in shower featuring dual shower heads. Two additional bedrooms with wood-look vinyl plank flooring and generous closets are located on the opposite side of the home, along with a guest bathroom offering a tub/shower combination. Beautiful views of the property can be enjoyed from most rooms, while underground utilities and an irrigation system serving the area around the home add convenience and functionality. This unique property offers endless opportunities for gardening, farming, recreation, and enjoying the natural Florida landscape.
