Nestled in the heart of Marion County’s Farmland Preservation Area, this Newly Renovated farmhouse estate is a countryside dream brought to life. Spanning 20 acres of rolling pastures and enchanting woodlands, the property is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and refined rural living. Towering southern magnolias, delicate crape myrtles, vibrant bougainvilleas, and fragrant camellias paint the landscape with seasonal splendor, while a variety of fruit trees produce nature’s sweetest bounty. <br />
<br />
A long paved drive, flanked by lush greenery, leads to the picturesque farmhouse, where rustic charm meets modern sophistication. Originally built in 1991, the home has been lovingly refurbished, preserving its storybook allure while incorporating elegant updates. A brand-new metal roof on all living areas, whole-house generator, new water heater, and a new 2024 air conditioning system ensure effortless year-round comfort. Inside, sunlight dances through expansive windows, casting a golden glow throughout. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence exudes both coziness and grandeur. <br />
<br />
At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece of function and style. Designed for both culinary artistry and everyday living, it boasts a gas stove, extra large refrigerator, high-end appliances, and elegant finishes, making every meal a delight. The spa-inspired bathrooms have been beautifully updated, while the master suite offers a tranquil escape, where mornings begin with serene views and evenings end in peaceful repose. <br />
<br />
Beyond the main house, charming guest accommodations await. A private mother-in-law suite attached to the two-car garage, provides a secluded haven for visitors or extended family. Additionally, a private 750-square-foot one-bedroom guest cottage exudes warmth and character, offering the perfect sanctuary for guests or a potential income-producing retreat. <br />
<br />
For equestrians and nature lovers alike, this estate is a dream fulfilled. Lush, cross-fenced pastures are primed for horses or livestock, complete with three paddocks, a well-appointed six-stall barn with water and electricity, and a separate two-stall BROOD barn in the front pasture. The landscape invites endless adventures—morning rides, tranquil afternoons beneath ancient oaks, and quiet evenings under star-strewn skies. <br />
<br />
With its seamless blend of modern luxury, pastoral charm, and equestrian-ready amenities**, this storybook farm is more than a home—it is a sanctuary of serenity. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, a working farm, or a multigenerational homestead, this extraordinary estate welcomes you with open arms and limitless possibilities. |
