Property Description
Move-in ready and beautifully maintained, this impressive 3,000+ sq ft home blends comfort, style, and generous space on 5 breathtaking acres graced by majestic mature oak trees in the highly sought-after Spring Ridge neighborhood. With a High Springs address and the benefit of Gilchrist County living, it offers the perfect balance of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Enjoy peace of mind with big-ticket upgrades already complete, including a NEW ROOF (2024), NEW WATER HEATER (2025), and two HVAC systems-both less than 10 years old. The property is fenced in the front and thoughtfully designed for comfort inside and out. Inside, the home features 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and an additional flex room ideal for a home office, playroom, or guest space. The layout functions like two master suites, with three bedrooms-including one primary suite-on one side of the home, and a second private primary suite on the opposite wing. Both primary suites feature walk-in closets, offering exceptional storage and convenience. Step into a bright, open-concept living area where vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere. The living room centers around a beautiful fireplace with built-ins and cabinet storage, adding both charm and functionality. The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring butcher-block countertops, stainless steel appliances, excellent storage, and a window over the sink framing peaceful backyard views. A spacious sunroom provides an additional gathering area-perfect for hosting, hobbies, or quiet relaxation. Outside, your private oasis awaits. A covered back porch overlooks the resort-style, saltwater pool complete with pavers and a tranquil waterfall-an ideal setting for weekend lounging or entertaining. The picturesque acreage offers shaded areas beneath mature oaks, partial fencing, a shed, and a detached 2-car garage with workshop, providing ample room for projects, equipment, and storage. With plenty of space to bring your animals, plant a garden, or simply enjoy peaceful rural living, the possibilities are endless. The backyard is wooded, serene, and wonderfully private. All of this is just minutes from Blue, Poe, and Ginnie Springs, as well as the famed Santa Fe River-perfect for diving, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. You'll also enjoy the convenience of being only 10 minutes from downtown High Springs and a short drive to Gainesville or Lake City. This exceptional property offers the best of both worlds-quiet country living with easy access to town amenities. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
