ATTN MINI-FARM AND NATURE LOVERS! Bring the chickens and watch deer wander through the yard, bird watch, like the Red Belly, Downey, and Pileated woodpecker’s that visit this property frequently. Tucked among the rolling oaks and pines of Dunnellon, this custom-built 4/2/2 home offers 2,256 Sq.Ft home sits on a lush, 2.08-acre parcel — just five minutes from the crystal-clear waters of Rainbow Springs State Park. Upon entering the home, you will step into a light-filled, spacious floor plan anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the living room — the perfect spot for cool Florida evenings. The kitchen has had some recent updates, including new appliances, making it ready for everyday living or entertaining guests. The primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a gorgeous walk-in closet is generously sized, offering a true retreat at the end of the day. Major systems have already been taken care of for total peace of mind: Roof replaced in 2020, HVAC system replaced in 2025, Hurricane-rated windows throughout for storm protection and energy efficiency. Best of all, the hot tub is included for relaxed evenings under the stars. This property is a nature lover's dream. The front of the lot is being thoughtfully reforested with loblolly and longleaf pines, creating a natural privacy screen that will only grow more beautiful with time. Three established mulberry trees produce fruit right in your own yard, while a row of azaleas lines the front fence alongside a young buckeye tree — offering seasonal color and shade across the property for years to come. With over two acres to enjoy, there's room to garden, to roam, or simply savor the quiet of the Florida countryside. If you are not familiar with Rainbow Springs, you get easy access to one of Florida's most beautiful natural springs for swimming, kayaking, and tubing on the Rainbow River. For a change of pace, several local trail systems are close by for horseback riding, biking, and hiking — including the Goethe State Forest, the Withlacoochee State Trail, and Ross Prairie Trail, which connects to the popular Santos Bike Trail. The property is also just minutes from downtown Dunnellon's shops, dining, and everyday conveniences, and about 30 minutes from Ocala's hospitals, shopping, and destinations like the World Equestrian Center. Within 30–45 minutes, you'll find Crystal River, Inverness, and Gainesville, and about an hour and a half puts you within reach of airports, beaches, and theme parks between Tampa and Orlando.
