Property Description
Welcome to a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds—lakefront living and equestrian comfort—all on one remarkable 8.71-acre property. Tucked beneath a canopy of oaks, this gated estate is located on the shores of Lake Bryant, one of Central Florida’s most sought-after lakes. With over 5,500 square feet of living space in the main home, a detached two-story guest apartment, multiple garages, barns, and an outdoor entertaining cabana, this property offers space, serenity, and versatility unlike anything else in Ocklawaha. From the moment you enter through the electric iron gates and travel the winding asphalt drive, you’ll feel the peaceful seclusion this estate offers. The main home is country-style charm blended with thoughtful upgrades, designed for both family life and entertaining. Downstairs, the expansive master suite features a massive walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bathroom with a clawfoot tub, walk-through tiled shower, and double vanities. An office with French doors and custom built-ins provides the perfect work-from-home space, while the laundry room impresses with its built-in Murphy bed, utility sink, and extra storage. A separate storage room is also attached for added convenience. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, where warm cabinetry and abundant counter space are complemented by an island with a ceramic double farmhouse sink, gas cooktop, double ovens, and bar seating—perfect for morning coffee. A huge walk-in pantry completes this highly functional space. The dining area, lined with oversized windows, offers breathtaking views of the backyard and sparkling lake beyond. Up the staircase, a spacious loft overlooks the living room and entryway. One side of the upstairs hosts a bedroom with an oversized bathroom and walk-in closet. The other side features a bedroom with a full bath and an attached game room, offering flexible space for guests. Wood-look tile runs throughout the home, blending rustic elegance with low-maintenance durability. Outdoor living is just as impressive. The backyard includes a covered cabana with a hot tub, granite outdoor kitchen, gas grill, TV, dining area, and wood-burning fireplace—an entertainer’s dream. Just beyond, the private sandy beach and dock offer easy access to Lake Bryant, where you can fish, water ski, and tube. The dock features a charming gazebo and a covered sitting area with a swing that gazes out across the lake. For horse lovers, the property includes a 2-stall wooden barn with a wash rack, a feed/hay storage building, a 2-stall lean-to in the pasture, a round pen, and a large open pasture. The layout is ideal for personal equestrian use with room to expand. There’s also a detached 2-car garage with a carport, another large equipment shed, and a dream 4-car metal garage with a full-length carport—perfect for a car enthusiast. Attached to the metal building is a 2-story guest apartment featuring two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, living room, and a large upstairs window that overlooks the garage. The apartment even has its own front patio, making it perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income. Just 20 minutes to shopping, restaurants, and services, and under 90 minutes to the beaches of Daytona, this unique property offers a lifestyle of adventure, privacy, and possibility. Whether you're soaking in the hot tub under the stars, riding horses through your pasture, or spending the day on the lake, this estate is truly one-of-a-kind.
