One or more photos were virtually staged (fire shown in fireplace). Welcome to a unique, private 7-acre retreat in Gainesville, where majestic granddaddy oaks, wide-open spaces, and a beautifully renovated home create a rare opportunity to enjoy country living without leaving the conveniences of the city behind! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the privacy, versatility, and peaceful surroundings that are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Gainesville. Inside, extensive renovations blend modern comfort with inviting country charm. A new roof, waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated bathrooms, new doors and trim, and a refreshed kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and new stainless steel appliances make this home ready to enjoy. Natural light fills the spacious living areas, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm gathering space overlooking the pasture and refinished swimming pool. The kitchen features separate cooking and preparation areas, along with a charming bay-window nook perfect for morning coffee. An oversized storage room offers potential for a butler's pantry, while the spacious laundry room leads to a flexible bonus space with its own private entrance from the driveway, ideal for a guest bedroom, home office, media room, or playroom. The generous primary suite opens to a screened porch with a hot tub, offering a peaceful escape at the end of the day. Beyond the home, approximately four cleared acres provide plenty of possibilities for gardening, animals, recreation, or simply enjoying the freedom of wide-open space. A detached garage with a new roof, expansive metal workshop with power and loft storage, and additional covered space for an RV, boat, or equipment add exceptional versatility. Toward the rear, Monteocha Creek and a pond with restoration potential complement the wooded landscape, while a neighboring tree farm provides a beautiful backdrop and added sense of seclusion. With no HOA, a newly paved road, and a location just 25 minutes from the University of Florida and UF Health Shands Hospital, this property offers an exceptional combination of acreage, privacy, and convenience. Whether you envision a hobby farm, a private retreat, or simply more space to live the way you want, this is a place you'll want to experience for yourself!
