The beauty here begins with the winding driveway through the tall pines leading to this extremely well-maintained home nestled in its natural setting and boasting a spacious floorplan, a 3-car garage PLUS a detached carport for your boat or RV and a NEW ROOF. This original owner has loved and cared for this home and it shows! The Water Heater was replaced in 2022 and the HVAC in 2015 (has been serviced twice/year). From the welcoming front porch rockers to the relaxing back Lanai you'll enjoy the tranquility of nature at it's best. You'll have plenty of outdoor space on this 1.43 acre lot so just leave this natural setting as it is for low lawn maintenance, plant a garden, create an enchanting back yard with color galore to join the residing dogwoods and magnolias or add a pool/spa for more family fun and entertainment…the choice is yours to make! Inside the home you'll find subtle charm with fresh, neutral colors, open space with high ceilings, a stunning tray ceiling in the living room, large tile flooring and ceiling fans throughout the home, a virtuous white kitchen with gas cooktop, breakfast bar and nook, Corian counter tops and plenty of cabinet, counter and pantry space, pocket sliders to the lanai and even a small workbench in the garage! All of this located in Pine Ridge Estates, an Equestrian Community with 28-miles of riding trails and an Equestrian Center with fencing, barn and a training/riding ring. You will also enjoy a community center with billiard room, a playground area with gazebo, shuffleboard, flying field, dog run, tennis courts and picnic tables. Just a short drive west to access the Gulf in Crystal River for boating, fishing and swimming with the manatee or to the north to the Dunnellon area to experience the blue waters of the Rainbow River for kayaking or to swim in the beautiful springs. Less than an hour's drive to the new World Equestrian Center in Ocala!
