Step outside to a screened-in back porch that overlooks rolling landscapes, ideal for morning coffee, golden-hour sunsets, or simply soaking in the tranquil surroundings. The property is as functional as it is beautiful, with two carports (one with a concrete floor and attached workshop), a fire pit area, and a private electric and solar-powered entry gate shared with one neighbor.
For those who love to garden or grow their own food, the property includes a mini orchard with Persian lime, Key lime, tangerine, Bearss lemon, and calamondin trees, as well as banana trees and blueberry bushes — your own backyard harvest ready to enjoy.
Practical updates include a New AC installed in 2022 and New Metal Roof- 2013, giving peace of mind for years to come. Nestled between Gainesville and Alachua, this hilltop retreat offers the best of both worlds: the quiet of country living with the convenience of town just minutes away.
