Welcome to this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a private, wooded 5.06 acre parcel just minutes from Gainesville. Inside, fresh interior paint and new luxury vinyl plank flooring create a clean, modern feel throughout. The inviting living room is anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace, the perfect gathering spot on cool North Florida evenings. The spacious kitchen offers ample cabinetry, generous counter space, and an easy flow into the dining area, ideal for everyday meals and entertaining alike. The refrigerator, stove, and hot water heater were all replaced within the last 3 years. The smart split-bedroom layout delivers privacy where it matters most. The generously sized primary suite is tucked away on one side of the home, while two guest bedrooms share the second full bath on the other. Additional recent updates include a NEW well pump 2026, replaced skylight and septic system pumped in 2023 peace-of-mind items already taken care of. A covered side porch overlooks the property and offers a quiet spot for morning coffee, and a attached shed provides extra storage for tools, gear, and toys. The real standout, though, is the land. Over five acres opens up the kind of country lifestyle most Gainesville area homes simply can't match. There's room to clear riding trails through the property for ATVs, set up an archery or target range, or your hunting stand. North Central Florida's mature hardwoods and pine cover support healthy deer and turkey populations, and this acreage gives you the privacy to actually enjoy it. The property also lends itself easily to a workshop, pole barn, garden, fruit trees, chicken coop, or potential for pasture for horses or other livestock if cleared. Whether the vision is a quiet homestead, a recreational retreat, or simply room to roam, this property delivers. Served by Clay Electric, the home offers the kind of peace and privacy that's getting harder to find in Alachua County. Gainesville's shopping, dining, schools, and commuter routes are all just a short drive away, and the UF campus and Shands hospitals are an easy drive. Move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter.
