Welcome home to peaceful country living with modern comfort. Nestled on a quiet rural road in the desirable Hollandtown area of Jay, Florida, this practically brand-new 2023 home offers the perfect blend of space, serenity, and opportunity. Sitting on a full 1-acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with 1,620 square feet of living space feels open, bright, and inviting from the moment you step inside. The layout is ideal for everyday living, with granite countertops throughout, easy-to-maintain wood-look flooring, and neutral paint colors that create a true blank canvas ready for your personal touch. Cozy carpeted bedrooms provide comfort and warmth, making this home equally functional and welcoming.

Whether you're dreaming of a workshop, home-based business, or simply need extra space, this barn delivers flexibility and value. The back patio offers a peaceful retreat, overlooking a wooded backyard where wildlife and nature set the scene for quiet mornings and relaxing evenings. Out front, enjoy beautiful sunrises over open fields-a daily reminder of the calm, rural lifestyle Jay is known for. Add in top-rated schools, friendly neighbors, and strong community values, and you have a location that truly feels like home.
