215 SW 179th St., Micanopy, FL 32667

This working 36 acre cattle farm is within hacking distance to the South Trail of the Barr Hammock Preserve trailhead on SE 175th Avenue in the historic town of Micanopy. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath custom home was built in 1993. There are formal living and dining rooms with a tray ceiling and recessed lighting and a family room with fireplace. The family room is open to the kitchen and features volume ceilings and a stone fireplace with French doors to the enclosed rear porch. Volume ceilings and a skylight illuminate the living and kitchen areas. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, a breakfast bar, built-in appliances and a breakfast nook with a bay window. A spacious main bedroom features a unique, ensuite bath with dual vanities, a whirlpool tub, a 2-way gas fireplace shared with the bedroom, and separate tiled shower. Other bedrooms are equally spacious. An inside laundry with cabinetry leads to the attached 2-car garage. Enjoy a spectacular view of peaceful and private pasture from the rear screened porch and deck. A sizeable pole barn is currently storing hay and equipment and can easily be remodeled for a horse barn. There is a pond in the acreage in front of the home, but there is plenty of high and dry land. Parcels that are a part of the Micanopy Hammock are deed restricted and governed by an HOA, but agricultural use is encouraged. There are cattle on the property, and the home is occupied by a caretaker. This location is midway between the world-class horse venues of Ocala and the fine educational and medical facilities of Gainesville. Cattle are currently grazing on this farm, and it must be shown by appointment, please.
