Property Description
Perfectly set on 5 acres in the heart of Anthony, this 4-bedroom ranch-style home blends country serenity with unbeatable proximity to the World Equestrian Center, nearby trailheads, and everything Marion County's horse country is known for.
Step inside and you'll find a bright, comfortable layout with thoughtful updates that make it move-in ready while still leaving room for your personal touch. A recent 4-point inspection has already passed, and the home features a full water filtration system and a designated safe room for added peace of mind. The metal roofs on both the pavilion and the home were replaced in 2021, offering long-lasting durability and timeless farm charm.
The home's entry welcomes you with a unique enclosed front porch featuring sliding windows and screens — the best of both worlds. Open the windows and enjoy the breeze without worrying about bugs, or keep them closed on cooler evenings. This cozy space offers flexibility to add flooring or even climate control down the road. Whether you use it as a reading nook, a quiet morning coffee spot, or a casual mudroom-style entry, it's a charming extension of the home that gives buyers room to make it their own. A separate open-air side porch with a swing provides another inviting spot to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.
Step out back and discover where this property truly shines — a perfect balance of function, flexibility, and lifestyle.
Fully fenced backyard with chain-link fencing, ideal for dogs or little ones to play safely
Multiple paddocks ready for horses or livestock
Separate fenced garden area, perfect for those with a green thumb
Chicken coop, goat pen, rabbit cages, and a dog run/kennel already in place
Two-stall barn with its own dedicated driveway entrance for easy trailer or gooseneck access
Oversized lap pool, perfect for cooling off after a trail ride

With no HOA, you have the freedom to live your way — whether that's maintaining a hobby farm, expanding into a larger equestrian setup, or simply enjoying quiet country living. There's even space to build your dream home and use the existing home as a guest house, or add an arena if that fits your vision.
Location is unbeatable:
Close to equine amenities and equestrian trailheads
A short drive to the World Equestrian Center
Easy access to Ocala and major routes
Peaceful, private, and tucked away
This property is designed to grow with you — trail ride right off the back of the property, cool off in the pool, relax under the pavilion, or bring your ideas to life. The seller is offering a $5,000 credit toward closing costs or updates, giving buyers even more flexibility to personalize this home.
This is more than just a property — it's a place to create your own story. Room to grow. Room to breathe. Room to live the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
Offered at $539,900 — an incredible value for a property of this size, versatility, and location. Don't let this one slip through your fingers.
