Its secluded location feels like an escape, yet it remains close to the amenities of Newberry, High Springs, Jonesville, and Alachua, as well as breathtaking natural attractions like freshwater springs, San Felasco State Park, and Watermelon Pond—all within a 20-minute drive.

At the heart of the property is a cozy 832-square-foot home, featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Thoughtful upgrades include beautiful wood flooring throughout, a tiled bathroom, a gas stove and oven, and a wireless surveillance system. A new metal roof was installed in 2023, and an agricultural well tank and manifold were added in 2024, ensuring modern functionality and durability. The property also includes a detached 200-square-foot utility building for additional storage, as well as a 350-square-foot air-conditioned shed with 30 amps of power, perfect for a guest house, office, or tiny home.

Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by the meticulously landscaped grounds, which showcase a serene pond bordered by red fountain grass and a vibrant cactus garden filled with rare specimens from South America. A lush forest planted with a variety of flora—including ginger, lilies, bamboo, ferns, and shrimp plants—features scenic trails, a fire pit, and campsites for outdoor enjoyment. Adding to the charm, the property includes butterfly gardens, a secret garden with apple trees, drift roses, and a fountain, as well as fruit trees such as fig, banana, citrus, pomegranate, and elderberry.

This property is also an equestrian and agricultural haven. Four paddocks with run-in sheds, hot-wire fencing, and “no climb” top boards fenciing are ready for horses, with water access to each paddock. Poultry enthusiasts will appreciate the multiple coops already in place. For aspiring gardeners, two 12×24 greenhouses provide opportunities to cultivate your favorite plants—one greenhouse is currently thriving with pineapples, while the other awaits your personal touch with a new poly cover.

Additional features enhance the property’s functionality and appeal. The main entrance is equipped with an electric gate, with a secondary access gate at the north end of the parcel. The front acre includes a building site with 90 amps of power, six power and hose points, and a border of fruit trees, making expansion easy and convenient. Zoned for agriculture and permitted for two homes, this property offers rare flexibility and low taxes.
