Virtually Staged. Under the Spanish Moss: Custom Home on 2.30 Park-Like Acres Come home to the kind of Florida I grew up loving: oaks draped in Spanish moss, quiet roads, and neighbors who still stop to wave on their evening walks. This is an equestrian neighborhood, and while this property isn’t set up for horses, the opportunity is here. You’ll be just 15 minutes from the World Equestrian Center, with golf courses nearby. Historic downtown Dunnellon and the Rainbow River are a 20-minute drive, as is Ocala. The community recreational park is only half a mile away. Custom built in 1987, this 4 bedroom 3 full bathroom, two-story home offers 3,220 sq ft under air and 4,408 sq ft under roof, plus a detached shed/workshop. A circle drive winds through mature landscaping to the 2.30-acre corner lot, which feels like your own private park. Light is the story here. Five skylights and nine sets of sliding glass doors bring the outdoors in. One set opens to an open-air patio off the breakfast nook, four open to the 11 x 29 screen porch overlooking the quiet backyard, and one is in the Florida room, which adds another 15 feet of sliding glass opening to the yard. The primary bedroom also opens to the screen porch, so you can start your morning with coffee and birdsong. Inside, the living room (approximately 15 x 24) has soaring ceilings. A wall stopping short of the ceiling gently defines the living room and dining area, where a natural rock wood-burning fireplace is the heart of the home. This space is open to the kitchen and breakfast nook and connects to the Florida room. The kitchen is made for those who love to cook, with a center island, pantry, and generous counter space. The showpiece is the gas range with two ovens, eight burners, a griddle, and a pizza cooker. A screen-enclosed breezeway leads to the two-car garage. The primary suite is downstairs, with a walk-in closet, dressing area, and 3-piece bath. A second downstairs bedroom, which could also serve as an office, sits beside the guest 3-piece bath. Upstairs is a retreat of its own. The open landing overlooks the living room, and a flex space is ready to become your workspace, library, or TV lounge. Two split bedrooms, each large enough for king-size furniture, have views of the 2.30 acres, and one has attic access. A 3-piece bath completes the level. The roof was replaced in 2025 and the HVAC in 2021, so the big-ticket items are done. The home is ready for its next chapter, with a layout and setting that invite you to bring your own vision and update finishes and details to your taste. Homes with this much character and land are rare. Come see it for yourself. quote from MWFPOA website" Meadow Wood Farms is a friendly community of beautiful “Mini-Estates” and small horse farms located in the Hamlet of Cotton Plant in Marion County, Florida.
