Virtually Staged. There is something truly special about a place where life moves a little slower, the surroundings feel a little more peaceful, and the quality of living speaks for itself. Nestled on 3.67 beautifully maintained acres within the gated equestrian community of The Village of Hidden Lakes, this exceptional estate offers the privacy of country living without sacrificing the conveniences of nearby Ocala, Williston, and Gainesville. Surrounded by beautiful, well-established homes, mature landscapes, and an abundance of natural wildlife, this community offers a rare sense of tranquility. It's not uncommon to see deer and wild turkeys wandering through the neighborhood or to spend an afternoon horseback riding along miles of scenic community trails. With a low HOA, limited restrictions, and the ability to accommodate up to four horses, Hidden Lakes offers a lifestyle centered around space, freedom, and an appreciation for the outdoors. The property itself offers nearly 4,800 square feet of combined heated living space between two separate residences, creating an exceptional opportunity for both comfortable living and versatility. The spacious main home features generous living areas, while the private screened-in pool and outdoor entertaining space provide the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The detached two-bedroom, two-bath guest residence adds an entirely different dimension to this property. Ideal for multigenerational living, visiting family and friends, a private home office, gym, or personal retreat, the possibilities are extensive. It also presents attractive income-producing potential, having previously rented for $1,800/month, with opportunities for higher seasonal rates during the equestrian show season. With no community restrictions on short- or long-term rentals, options such as Airbnb and seasonal accommodations offer additional flexibility. Conveniently located approximately 8 miles from HITS Ocala and 19 miles from the World Equestrian Center, the property is especially appealing to equestrians seeking a seasonal residence, show headquarters, or year-round home within Florida's thriving horse country. What makes this property exceptional isn't simply the acreage, the two residences, or the amenities. It's the lifestyle they create. Privacy without isolation. Space without sacrificing convenience. A peaceful, established community where you can enjoy the beauty of rural Florida while remaining connected to everything you need. Whether you're seeking a private family estate, an equestrian retreat, multigenerational accommodations, or a property with income-producing potential, this is an opportunity to enjoy a different pace of life without compromising on comfort or quality.
