Located in the quiet countryside of Citra, this charming 6-acre “Ambrosia Farm” sits in the heart of the protected Ocala/Marion County Farmland Preservation Area, where rolling pastures and neighboring farms define the landscape. This property showcases beautiful mature live oak trees and natural scenery, creating the classic Ocala, Florida setting - peaceful and perfectly suited for life with horses or animals. The fully-fenced property features newer perimeter fencing and wide-open paddocks shaded by those beautiful oaks. The gated drive takes you to a cozy concrete-block home offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with over 1,600+ SF of living space, designed for comfortable farm living. Enter through the spacious front Florida Room, while inside, the open kitchen with gas cooktop and SS appliances flows into an expansive cathedral-ceiling dining/living area with French door access to your back deck. The split floorplan offers privacy with your guest wing featuring two guest rooms and full bath, and the separate primary suite offering views of your paddocks, dual closets, and its own ensuite bath with dual vanities & walk-in shower. Enjoy upgrades such as a newer HVAC system (2021), newer metal roof (2019), hot water tank (2020), new washer/dryer, dishwasher, and more. Equestrians will appreciate the practical setup with a 4-stall center aisle barn complete with an A/C tack & feed room, hay storage, washrack, and water run to the paddock - everything you need to enjoy your mini-farm vision. Near the barn, you'll find a spacious metal lean-to perfect for equipment storage. The location is equally appealing, just minutes from Ocala Jockey Club, 30 minutes to both the World Equestrian Center and HITS Ocala, and easy access to I-75 for travel throughout the region. Enjoy the best of country living while staying close to everyday conveniences in Ocala and Gainesville, plus outdoor recreation just around the corner at Orange Lake. With its natural beauty, thoughtful layout, and prime horse-country location, this property is a rare opportunity to create the farm lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of!
