Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled in the serene neighborhood of Cross Tie Ranches in Ocala’s NE region, this meticulously designed 4.43 acre estate offers luxurious living amongst established mini-farms. The 2-bedroom, 3-bath home boasts an expansive covered front porch and brick accents, with plenty of curb appeal thanks to tasteful landscaping. Spanning 2,800 sqft, the interiors are light and bright with an open floor plan, high vaulted ceilings, and a mix of tile and wood flooring throughout. The kitchen is a chef's dream with ample cabinet storage, expansive countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, a center island, breakfast bar, and walk-in pantry. The living area, which features large windows and sliding glass doors to the pool area, flows seamlessly into the dining space and kitchen. A formal office provides versatile space for work or hobbies, with stunning views of the surrounding property. The primary suite offers tray ceilings, pool access, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, garden tub, walk-in shower, and an extensive walk-in closet. The secondary bedroom is equally inviting with its own en-suite bathroom and large walk-in closet. Ideal for guests or for use as a private office, a large studio space features a separate entrance, full bathroom, and private pool access. This home could easily be converted to a 3 or 4 bedroom home by converting one or both of the office/studio spaces if desired. The back of the home showcases a huge screen-enclosed pool area with a large covered area with ceiling fans and a built-in bar, a huge pool deck, and sparkling in-ground saltwater pool. Attached to the home via a breezeway is a huge 2-car garage with an extended 3rd bay for RV or boat storage. A center aisle barn is already established on the property, currently providing a tack room and equipment storage as well as the wood for 4 potential stalls if desired. Zoned A-3 with some fencing already in place, this property could easily host horses with a few additional tweaks. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Ocala and 30 minutes from the World Equestrian Center, this estate combines peace and convenience with access to shopping, dining, medical services, and year-round equestrian events!
