Gently shaded by mature oaks and nestled within Citras peaceful countryside, this adorable cottage is a wonderful option with plenty of flexibility. Situated on just under 2 acres, the property is zoned A 1 which opens up the possibility of transforming it into a mini farm or hobby farm if desired. Resting at the heart of the property is a 3 bedroom, 1 full and 1 half bath cottage that spans just over 1,300 sq ft. At the front of the cottage is a cozy covered front porch lounge, which is perfect for watching horses train on the track across the street. Stepping inside, the home features an open floor plan with soaring vaulted ceilings, rustic touches, and a thoughtful layout. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of counter and cabinet space, matching appliances, and a breakfast bar. Directly open to the kitchen is the living area, which provides the perfect space to relax. A loft style bedroom takes full advantage of the homes open feel and includes large windows that overlook the surrounding property. One of the bedrooms is currently used as an exercise room and has ample potential to be used as a bedroom or flex space as desired by the new owner. To the side of the home is a fully fenced in dog run that lets dogs explore in safety, accessible by a built in dog door for added ease. A scenic drive provides the option to explore the many shopping and dining options throughout both the Ocala or Gainesville areas. A variety of competition and spectating options are available to equestrians in the area, including Majestic Oaks, the Ocala Jockey Club which was recently acquired by WEC, the World Equestrian Center, and HITS all of which are just 30 minutes away or less.
