Peaceful 5.71-Acre Equestrian Retreat Just Outside Williston, FL Welcome to a beautifully maintained 5.71-acre horse-ready property offering the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and country charm. Located just five minutes outside of Williston and a short drive to both Gainesville and Ocala, this property provides the ideal setting for equestrian living or a tranquil rural lifestyle with modern convenience. Built in 1990, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been thoughtfully cared for by its current owners. It offers 2,971 total square feet, including a two-car garage, a charming open-air porch, and a fully enclosed, air-conditioned back porch that extends your living space year-round. The open-air back porch features beautiful mosaic brick flooring, making it a perfect space for unwinding after a long day while overlooking your animals or the peaceful surrounding landscape. Inside, the split floor plan offers a warm and rustic aesthetic with wood tones and country-inspired charm. The kitchen includes an eat-in bar and space for a casual dining area or a second living space, as well as a separate formal dining room perfect for entertaining. The master suite is spacious and private, featuring dual vanities, a stand-up shower, a jacuzzi tub, and a generous walk-in closet. On the opposite side of the home are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an indoor laundry room. The home is equipped with a whole-home propane generator, a central vacuum system, and storm-ready roll-down and pull-down hurricane shutters. The enclosed back porch is a standout feature, offering an additional indoor/outdoor living space with its own cooking area, including a JennAir gas grill & stovetop, and a cozy gas fireplace. This versatile space is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet mornings year-round. The property itself is a scenic and functional oasis. Mature Grandaddy oak trees offer shade and privacy around the perimeter, and the lush green grass throughout the property is perfect for grazing. A new limerock driveway, new septic system, new fencing, and newer dishwasher and shower fixtures reflect the care and attention given to maintaining the property. Two large pastures are fully fenced and connected by gated access, providing flexibility for managing animals. The property also includes two storage sheds and new fencing throughout. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the newly constructed barn, which includes two pipe stalls with two spacious pipe runs leading to pasture, an air-conditioned tack room, and ample space to add additional stalls or store equipment, feed, and hay. The barn is ideally positioned for functionality and expansion, allowing for customized equestrian use.
