Set on ten fully fenced and cross-fenced acres in Wildwood, just south of Ocala and moments from The Villages, this property offers a refined blend of luxury, privacy and functionality for both horse enthusiasts and those seeking an expansive country retreat. With two separate residences on the property, it is quite versatile. A stone-columned circular drive introduces the stately residence, which spans 4,829 square feet under air. Double doors open to a grand foyer and an airy floor plan designed for comfortable living and elegant entertaining. Beyond the entry, a wall of French doors frames serene views of the resort-style outdoor living area. Finishes include hardwood and tile floors, soaring ceilings with crown molding, and icynene foam insulation in both walls and ceilings for efficiency. Surround sound is integrated throughout. The well-appointed chef's kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, custom solid-wood cabinetry with a matching range hood, double wall ovens, warming drawer, a walk-in pantry, and a breakfast bar overlooking the family room. A stone gas fireplace anchors the family gathering space, while the adjacent breakfast nook invites morning sunlight and views of the pool. The owner's suite provides a private sanctuary with lanai access, sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath featuring dual vanities, a roman shower and a jetted tub. Two additional bedrooms each offer walk-in closets and ensuite baths, complemented by a powder room, full pool bath, and large laundry room. The bonus room allows flexible use for a theater, fitness or recreation space and connects to an attached three-car garage. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the outdoor area showcases a heated saltwater pool with rock waterfall and spa, framed by a tropical silhouette screen enclosure. The covered lanai and full outdoor kitchen create an ideal setting for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
