Historic Melrose in North Central Florida known as the “Lake Region” is fast becoming “THE PLACE TO BE”. Much because of recent national conditions, the rural lifestyle is coming back strong. Just near Melrose is this very nice 3/2 home with a 24x36 horse barn on 5 beautiful mostly cleared, fenced and cross fenced acres. The home has had many recent upgrades. Some include: Granite Counters, New AC, Fireplace, Working Aquaponics System, Home Generator,2 Chicken Coops, Fenced Garden Areas, Fruit Trees, Live Oaks with Spanish Moss and much more. This property is located almost centrally between Gainesville, Palatka, Ocala and Starke Florida. It''s only a few minutes to downtown Historic Melrose with only one traffic light where about everything you need is available: Restaurants, Doctors, Parks, Library, Art Studios, Music Events, Kayak Rentals, Friday Open Market, Grocery Shopping and more. All of this is only blocks away from Fully Recreational 6000 acre Santa Fe Lake that I call the Great Lake of North Central Florida. Living a little rural is a different way of life but it''s conveniently wonderful out here. Drive by''s are encouraged. But must call for appointment.
