One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Experience Old Florida in this rare self-contained oasis on 12+ acres adjoining Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. Tranquility and wildlife abound with two homes on this expansive property. The main home is a classic mid-century modern with over 2100 square feet, two bedrooms, one and a half baths, 14′ ceilings, Ocala brick, gorgeous cypress paneling, and a carport. This open floor plan is great for entertaining, with plenty of natural light and a living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, an adjoining dining area, and breathtaking property views through large picture windows. A large kitchen with a breakfast bar offers plenty of cabinetry and counter space with a cooktop, built-in oven, and pass-through to the Florida room. The primary bedroom has an adjoining bathroom, a library with a fireplace, and private access to a charming patio where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enjoy lazy summer days in the screen-enclosed lanai with a 15’X30′ heated, salt-water pool. The one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage is a little over 700 sq ft with screened porch overlooking a 1-acre pond and carport. This little house and setting evoke a Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings vibe with a relaxing place to observe the wildlife from the screen-enclosed nature porch.

While you live amongst Old Florida Heritage, stay connected via portable lightning-fast StarLink wifi. The residences are hundreds of feet from the county road, and neighboring homesteads are farther away. A private mile + intersecting trail winds throughout the property with a granddaddy live oak hammock, native longleaf pines, and sabal palms, where you’ll spot deer and turkey. Excellent for bird-watching hawks, eagles, owls, and the seasonal sandhill cranes. The current owners have maintained the agricultural status by planting thousands of native longleaf pines, many now reaching 20′ tall on their way to 200′ maturity. A one-acre pond, surrounded by bald cypress and tupelo trees, attracts egrets and many of the 270 species of birds drawn to the neighboring 21,000-acre state park. The property was a horse ranch at one time, and the barns are still maintained today. They may accommodate horses, other livestock, or equipment. The town of Micanopy is just two miles down the road. It is considered “One of America’s top 12 cutest towns,” according to Huffington Post. You’ll find outdoor cafes, a bakery, a hotel, and antique shops. UF Shands Medical Center is 12 miles away, Hawthorne Bike Trail is 4 miles, and World Equestrian Center is 28 miles away.
