If you want Alachua County convenience but Levy County taxes, this is the house for you. Situated on a beautiful, partially cleared 20.38-acre parcel, this southern farmhouse designed home is located on the very first, eastern street within Levy County. With sustainability in mind, the home was constructed with insulated concrete form (ICF), considered as an innovative building material. Unlike traditional wood-built homes, ICF blocks have interlocking sections, so the wall systems fit tightly together, creating a highly energy-efficient home. In addition to the ICF construction, this 2006 built home, has a metal roof with a ¾ inch oil-based material underneath, providing a strong bond with the metal roof, protecting against rust, corrosion, peeling and flaking. The home has a two-sided wrap-around 60 ft porch that is 8 ft wide. The downstairs features pretty hardwood flooring that connects the foyer, great room, master bedroom, kitchen and dining space. The kitchen boasts pale green cabinetry, with a custom wood-topped center prep island. The perimeter cabinets are topped with granite. Behind the stove is a hammered decorative tin backsplash, while the remaining backsplash is custom beadboard. There is a large walk-in pantry that is opposite the dining space. The custom built-in corner dining space cabinet matches the pale green kitchen cabinetry. The mud room connects the kitchen to the garage. The mud room has a convenient half bath, a washer and dryer hook up, and a door that leads into the oversized rear-entry 1 car garage. Opposite the kitchen side of the home is the master bedroom. This room can be accessed off the foyer as well as off the master hallway. Inside the master hallway is a utility closet that currently houses the washer/dryer. The master bedroom is connected to its en suite bath by a large walk-in closet. Additional features include a soaking tub, step- in shower, dual vanities and a water closet. Upstairs you will find three guest rooms. One is en suite, while the other guest rooms share a Jack-N-Jill bath that has a dual sink granite topped vanity and a separate tub/shower combination. Access the rear covered porch via the great room and kitchen French doors. Adjacent to the home is the pump house. Just beyond that is the 1200 SF slab-built, frame constructed outbuilding with hardi-plank siding. House your RV or boat, and still have enough room for your wood-working hobby. This building has a separate side door entrance, as well as two 8-foot garage doors for easy pull through access. In addition, there is a 50-amp service and three 220 outlets for its power service. This home features a private powered gate, and was built nearly 600 ft from the paved, county-maintained road. The northern and southern fencing is owned by the neighbors, with the south side property, which is conservation land, is owned by the State of FL. The property has wire sectioned fencing as well. Behind the home is a 350-acre privately held parcel. Fiber optic internet service with Central FL is available or use the current provider, Starlink. Private garbage collection is available. Additionally there is a 100-gallon propane tank (owned) for propane service to the home. In the crawlspace are all block and floor joists, with easy access to the home’s plumbing. And, let’s not forget about the chicken coop, right outside your kitchen access door. This home shows even better in person, so make an appointment soon to tour this private property.
