About this home
Experience the timeless beauty and peaceful charm of Old Florida on this exceptional 25.23-acre wooded estate, located within the private, gated Shell Pond Plantation community. Surrounded by gently rolling terrain, mature hardwoods, moss-draped oaks, and abundant natural beauty, this property offers the ideal blend of privacy, comfort, and rural elegance. Just minutes from the historic town of Williston—and approximately 30 minutes to Gainesville and 35 minutes to Ocala—this peaceful retreat is perfectly positioned for those seeking serenity without sacrificing convenience. A private, scenic drive winds through the property, revealing a thoughtfully developed homesite tucked away for maximum privacy. Improvements include a 24x40 metal RV carport fully equipped with power, water, and septic; a spacious 2,330 sq ft barn with an upstairs loft; a fully finished downstairs area featuring a bathroom and washer/dryer; and a charming 28x11 tiny home ideal for guests, weekend stays, or short-term rentals. The property also includes two wells, providing reliable water access for residential or agricultural use. The electric gated entry to the community enhances security and exclusivity, while the horse-friendly environment makes it ideal for equestrian living, with ample space for paddocks, riding, or future expansion. The property is teeming with wildlife, including white-tailed deer, Osceola turkey, and other native Florida species—making it a true haven for nature lovers, hunters, or anyone seeking a connection to the outdoors. Whether you’re looking to build a custom estate, develop a private equestrian facility, or simply escape to the tranquility of the countryside, this property offers endless potential and modern comforts in a truly picturesque setting. Please note: the driveway leading to the property is not included in the parcel’s acreage.
