Ocala Downs has always been one of my favorite communities in the area. Properties like this are one of the reasons why. From the moment you enter the neighborhood, it welcomes you with winding roads, multiple riding and driving trails and gracious, well-cared-for equine properties. Although each farm is unique you still get a feeling of a shared neighborhood that few Ocala horse communities can match. The sellers' farm furthers this sense of quality when you turn into the gated, tree-lined driveway that leads up a small hill to the home that was built on a rise in the land to take advantage of an elevated perspective over the surrounding farms. Built in 2000 with just over 3,000 square feet of living space that includes four bedrooms, three baths, and a three-car garage, this home has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by the original owners. The open floorplan includes a large family room off the newly renovated kitchen, separate formal dining room and living room that share the multi-sided fireplace with the family room. A small home office is a perfect space for those who work from home or a student who needs a quiet space in which to study. The home includes a whole house generator that comes on automatically - a real luxury when the power goes out for even a few minutes. When you're ready for some time outside, you can go for a swim in the saltwater pool that's part of a large, screened lanai that includes a covered patio area, each of which makes for perfect, bug-free entertaining and private leisure time. Just steps from the house is a three-stall barn that was built with oversized stalls and an air-conditioned feed and tack room. Several large run-in sheds and multiple paddocks with lush pasture are ready for you and your horses. This farm and the Ocala Downs community of which it is a part offer a lot to the lucky buyer at a great price
