Nestled on five fully picturesque fenced acres just north of Umatilla, this completely remodeled 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a loft offers the perfect blend of privacy and modern comfort. The loft could wonderfully serve as a 3rd bedroom, an office or craft room. Inside, you’ll find a beautifully updated wood-burning fireplace, a bright and airy kitchen with abundant cabinetry, a breakfast bar, dinette area, and new stainless steel appliances—all bathed in natural sunlight. The remodeled laundry room includes a new washer and dryer for added convenience. A screened porch off the north side of the living room overlooks a fenced pet area, creating an ideal space to relax while your animals roam safely. The property also features a small hobby greenhouse, garden area, two-stall barn, and a versatile dog kennel that has also served as a chicken coop. The expansive garage can accommodate up to six vehicles or function as a spacious workshop, and an attached private studio offers the perfect setting for a home office or creative retreat. Enjoy peaceful country living just minutes from shopping and annual festivals in Umatilla, close to the riding trails of Ocala National Forest and the crystal-clear waters of Alexander Springs. The vibrant Golden Triangle communities of Mount Dora, Tavares, and Eustis are just a short drive south, offering even more dining, shopping, and year-round events. This is a rare opportunity to grow your own food—or your family—in a truly serene setting.
