Property Description

Welcome to Saddle Hill Retreat — a rare 6-acre private estate offering modern comfort, resort-style amenities, and exceptional self-sufficiency in the heart of North Central Florida. Ideally located just 20 minutes to Gainesville or Ocala, this meticulously renovated property delivers the clean, quiet, and healthy lifestyle today’s buyers are searching for. Inside, the home is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully designed with 9-foot ceilings, a functional split-bedroom layout, and solid wood doors throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a 6-burner gas range, pot filler, and a large farmhouse island sink—perfect for entertaining or everyday living. With 4 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, plus a stunning new sunroom, the home offers generous space, flexibility, and comfort. Additional upgrades include soundproofing insulation in the front bedroom and premium lifetime-warrantied composite exterior doors with complete jambs/frames, engineered for long-term durability and resistance to mold and rot. Step outside and enjoy a truly parklike retreat complete with two organic orchards, a stocked fish pond with mature largemouth bass, and a peaceful firepit area overlooking the privacy of the surrounding woods. A standout feature rarely found in this market is the 12x75 heated lap pool within a screened enclosure—creating a resort-style setting perfect for relaxation or wellness-focused living. Additional outdoor recreation includes a 250' zipline and swings, making this property as fun as it is serene. This home is also built for long-term peace of mind with a fully integrated resilience system, including solar power, a whole-house Generac generator, and an in-ground 1,000-gallon propane tank supplying the generator, gas cooking, and on-demand hot water—enhancing efficiency and comfort during extended storm-season outages. A deep well with a manual hand pump adds yet another layer of security, providing reliable water access even during power loss. Positioned on higher ground with excellent natural drainage, the residence enjoys added confidence through Florida’s rainy season. Only a small, non-homesite portion of the parcel is mapped within a FEMA flood zone, while the home itself sits well-positioned on the property in a highly desirable inland setting with no coastal storm surge exposure. (Buyers to verify flood zone and insurance requirements with their lender and insurance carrier.) Recent improvements include a 4-year-old black metal roof with heat barrier and 4-year-old PVC insulated double-pane windows, enhancing energy efficiency, durability, and long-term value. Completing the estate is a substantial detached garage and a professional, air-conditioned gym featuring commercial-grade PLAE rubber flooring, offering the ultimate private fitness experience without leaving home. Offered at $1.05M and priced below a recent $1.2M appraisal, Saddle Hill Retreat represents an exceptional opportunity to own one of the most feature-rich private estates in North Central Florida. Saddle Hill Retreat is more than a residence — it’s a lifestyle of privacy, wellness, resilience, and luxury. Once you arrive, you’ll understand what makes this property truly unforgettable. Full list of extensive upgrades available upon request or in attached documents.
