Description
A flock of redheaded, long bearded turkeys dashed off to our right as we entered the hammock under the immense canopy of live oaks, magnolia and water oak trees. As we followed the old, meandering road through the property, we were amazed at just how much wildlife was so close to residential subdivisions, a golf course, and a new middle school. These 23.2 acres border the magnificent Marshall Swamp Wildlife Management Area and offer its owner privacy and unparalleled access to a 6,000 acre backyard. The property features over 1,100' of frontage along Oak Road and is located just up the street from the Country Club at Silver Springs golf course and the soon to be built Lake Weir Middle School. Many favorite retailers including Publix, Walmart, and CVS are a quick ten minute drive. The current zoning is Residential Estate, which provides for one main dwelling and a guest home on the parcel. The Land Use is Low Density Residential and provides for one unit per acre. The Seller is offering the property as/is and not interested in providing contingencies for any entitlement changes for Land Use or Zoning. For those interested in expanding their land holdings with this parcel, the 12.13 contiguous acres (Parcel No. 9050-0000-04) to the south are also available for purchase.
Located along Interstate 75 in North Central Florida, Ocala is insulated from the coasts and provides quick access to the Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville markets. Residents and businesses alike enjoy a high quality of life and a relatively low cost of living. Quality healthcare and one of Florida's lowest housing costs make Marion County a great place to live. The scenic landscape is graced by the pastoral beauty of more than 1500 horse farms with plenty of green space for all to enjoy and the new World Equestrian Center.
