Welcome to your perfect slice of Marion County — a 5-acre equestrian property in Anthony, Florida delivering unbeatable value, flexibility, and country charm. Priced at $539,900, this property combines equine infrastructure, usable acreage, and a solid home that’s ready for its next chapter. The land is thoughtfully laid out with multiple paddocks, a chain-link fenced backyard ideal for pets or outdoor enjoyment, and a dedicated garden space for anyone with a green thumb. The front of the property remains open for easy access, featuring two separate driveways — one leading to the home and the other directly to the barn area and RV hookup. There’s plenty of room to pull in your gooseneck trailer, unload hay, or park additional equipment with ease. The two-stall barn has its own driveway, a spacious tack room, and flexible space to suit your horses or other animals. There are also goat pens, chicken coops, and rabbit enclosures, making this property ideal for anyone wanting a hobby farm or small livestock operation. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home is solidly built and well maintained. It has already passed a 4-point inspection and has a metal roof (2021) on both the house and pavilion. You won’t need to worry about insurance hurdles here — the bones are strong, the systems are sound, and the low taxes make ownership even more affordable. A $5,000 credit toward closing costs gives the next owner room to refresh or personalize as they wish. Inside, you’ll find comfortable, versatile living spaces with a cozy enclosed front porch — perfect for opening up the windows on a cool fall day — and a side porch with a swing for enjoying your morning coffee. An oversized lap pool and covered pavilion create the perfect spot to relax after a long ride. This property gives you the freedom to live how you want: build your dream home on the right side of the property and keep the existing home as a guest house or income-producing rental, or simply enjoy the setup as it is. All of this is located just minutes from the World Equestrian Center – Ocala, shopping, trailheads, and everything Ocala provides — with no HOA restrictions.
