Welcome to this charming 3.06-acre gem located in the quiet subdivision of Country Wood Estates in Anthony, Florida—one of Marion County’s most sought-after and rapidly growing areas. Zoned for horses and set behind an electric gate, this property offers privacy, functionality, and the peaceful feel of Old Florida with beautiful granddaddy oaks providing shade and a truly park-like setting. As you enter the property, you’re greeted by a paddock at the front, making it ideal for horses or livestock. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a split floor plan and a warm, inviting layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink overlooking the backyard, and easy access to multiple living spaces. Just off the kitchen and dining area, you’ll find a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, while the dining area also opens to a screened back porch—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings. On the opposite side, a spacious living room features a second floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace and direct access to the backyard, offering plenty of room for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The home also includes a separate laundry room with built-in shelving that doubles as a large pantry, along with direct access to the attached two-car garage and exterior. Outside, the property continues to impress with two detached 20x20 garages, both equipped with electric and windows—ideal for storing farm equipment, tools, or creating workshop space. Attached to one of the buildings is an overhang with a chicken coop, which also connects to a chain-link enclosure that can double as a dog kennel. The rear of the property is wooded, offering additional privacy and flexibility. It can be cleared to create a second paddock or left natural for shade, seclusion, or additional animals. The property is high and dry with no flood zone, and the blooming landscaping adds to the overall beauty and tranquility of the setting. This is the perfect opportunity to own a manageable mini farm in a prime location, offering space, versatility, and the charm of country living while still being close to town and amenities.
