Description

Situated in an area with beautiful rolling topography, Serenity Acres provides the perfect environment for your agricultural endeavors and sustainable rural homesteading. The entire property has been thoughtfully laid out for maximum livestock protection, is fenced and cross-fenced, ensuring a secure and well-maintained space for your livestock to graze and thrive. The property features several fruit trees including pear and fig trees, and a large, well fertilized, fenced in garden plot. Garden and pastures all come with automatic waterers from three wells on the property. Each pasture has 12 x 24 run-in shelters/stalls for maximum protection from sun and rain but providing great ventilation during the summer heat. All water lines are underground, along with frost proof water hydrants. The farm features a large solar array supplementing grid power to much of the farm including two of the wells and a solar hot water system. The solar system is connected to an ample battery back-up system so the farm can run off-grid if needed with automatic shut-offs for non-essential systems. A 500 gallon diesel fuel tank and 2 - 500 gallon propane gas tanks contribute to the self-sufficiency of the farm. The farm also features two large metal buildings: one partially enclosed and insulated 36 x 50 workshop with 14 feet overhead doors and an attached 50 x 72 area to either store your equipment, RV, boat or horse trailers, or convert into a covered riding arena. This metal building also includes two hardwired 30/50 Amp RV connections with water spigots in easy reach. The second metal building 40 x 60 in size, is fully enclosed with 14 foot overhead doors and also contains a fully air-conditioned 1200 square foot area with a commercial kitchen and a soap making studio on the ground floor and a second floor air-conditioned 1200 square foot area for storage or multi-purpose room (yoga studio, seminars, workshops, meetings). The property currently has Florida agricultural property tax and homestead exemption. The main residence is a charming historic 1 bedroom and 1 bath cypress farm cottage with a detached cypress 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom office/guesthouse featuring a workout area or tiled sunroom and efficiency kitchen. The rustic cypress outside look has been retained on both buildings while they have been extensively remodeled and modernized inside including insulation, double pane windows, and many other amenities. The property also has a large 1716 sf manufactured home as a secondary residence and a large Red Barn currently used for hay storage. This property is a must see, there are too many beautiful areas to experience including many outbuildings for all your needs, your livestock and your pet needs and too many intricate details to list here. The entire property is fenced and gated with an electric gate for which a code is needed. And all of this is conveniently located to I-75 and I-10, within an hours drive to Tallahassee, two hours to Jacksonville, and two and a half hours to Ocala. Many beautiful riding trails are within 15 " 30 minute trailering along the Suwannee and Withlacoochee Rivers and Trails.
