Property Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Escape to Your Private Lakeside Sanctuary in the Ocala National Forest Imagine waking up to the soft rustle of the Ocala National Forest and the stillness of a private lake. Nestled on a fully fenced 2.73-acre double lot within the peaceful Magnolia Haven community, this isn't just a home—it’s a multi-generational retreat designed for those who value privacy, nature, and craftsmanship. The Main Residence: Rustic Elegance & Character Step inside to a world of warmth, where rare Pecky Cypress walls and a crackling wood-burning fireplace define the massive family room. The flexible floor plan caters to every need, featuring a convenient downstairs primary suite and an airy kitchen that flows into the heart of the home. Ascend the charming spiral staircase to find a versatile second level, complete with a loft den (featuring its own electric fireplace), guest bedrooms, and a dedicated hobby room/office. Whether you’re hosting a holiday or enjoying a quiet morning in the screened lanai, the transition between indoor and outdoor living is seamless. The Waterfront & Outdoor Lifestyle Directly across the street, your private waterfront lot awaits. Though the lake is currently experiencing a rare natural drought cycle (a recurring event that preserves the lake's ecosystem), your private dock stands ready for the return of kayaking, fishing, and sunset views over the 87-acre Grassy Lake. Unrivaled Storage & Creative Spaces For the hobbyist or entrepreneur, this estate is a dream. Detached 2-Car Garage: Plenty of room for vehicles and forest gear. The Ultimate Work-Shed: A plumbed "Man Cave" or Studio equipped with a bathroom, laundry, and sink. Storage Barn: Specifically designed for your Ocala National Forest "toys." With three private wells and proximity to Lake Eaton, you are just 6 miles from Forest Corners shopping yet worlds away from the noise. Discover the character, the space, and the serenity of Magnolia Haven. Estate Content Sale April 1-4. All measurements are approximate and should be verified by the buyer
