Some homes offer a place to live. This one offers room to live a little differently. Set on 8.65 private acres in Belleview, just outside Ocala, this custom home brings together the comfort of a thoughtfully designed residence with the freedom of owning land. Mornings spent in the garden, afternoons beside the pool, and evenings gathered on the lanai—there’s space here to make each day your own. Built in 2017, the home offers 2,717 square feet of living space with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dedicated office, and an attached two-car garage. High ceilings and an open layout create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining, with the great room opening to a spacious covered lanai. Beyond it, the heated saltwater pool, added in 2025, features brick paver decking, an electric cover, and generous space for lounging. From a quiet afternoon in the sunshine to a house full of guests, the outdoor living spaces feel like a natural extension of the home. At the heart of it all, the updated kitchen pairs quartz countertops with freshly painted cabinetry and 2025 stainless steel appliances. The split-bedroom layout gives the owner’s suite a welcome sense of privacy, with an oversized shower, a new tub, updated flooring and cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in closet that connects directly to the laundry room. Two guest bedrooms share a bathroom, while the fourth has its own private bath, offering a comfortable retreat for overnight guests. Throughout the property, thoughtful improvements add to the ease of ownership. A high-efficiency air-conditioning system with UV duct treatment, interior and exterior low-VOC paint, an attic fan, gutters, and irrigation complement the home’s recent updates. Even the insulated garage has been thoughtfully finished with a dedicated mini-split air-conditioning system and new epoxy flooring. The acreage opens up possibilities that extend well beyond the house. Approximately 20 fruit trees and a vegetable garden offer the pleasure of growing and gathering your own food, while a small horse barn and animal areas with water access support the country lifestyle. Zoned for horses, with room to expand and no HOA, the property gives you space to shape the years ahead. A treehouse, storage shed, front vinyl privacy fence with gates, and generator and propane hookups round out the setting. Here, privacy comes with connection. Convenient access to I-75 keeps travel to airports and the attractions of Orlando and Tampa within reach, while home offers a quieter pace. Whether your vision includes horses, homegrown harvests, or simply more time outdoors, this Belleview property brings that life beautifully into focus.
