In real estate much is made of location, thus the often used phrase "location, location, location." In the case of this property, that's especially true. It's situated on an oak-shaded paved country road just 3.5 miles from the downtown High Springs business district. Using a network of county roads close by, the owner of this home can avoid more congested highways to get to area towns and businesses. For instance, it's 5.7 miles along back roads to US 441 at Santa Fe High School, Publix supermarket, and I-75 exit 399 (High Spgs-Alachua). Downtown Alachua is 6 miles away driving east through the countryside. In another direction, it's 11.7 miles to Newberry. Using other county paved roads nearby, I-75 exit 390 (NW 39th Ave) in northwest Gainesville is 16 miles away. It's calming to drive through the countryside, avoiding the high traffic volume of the major highways, to get where you want to go. To be at home here offers peaceful rural living on 5 acres. which is perimeter fenced (308 feet along the road and 775 deep) with a cross fence in the middle. The front footage is board fenced with an electronic entry gate. The manufactured home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths in an open split plan with 1,125 square feet of living space. It was never used as a full-time home and is in like-new condition, creating an ideal opportunity for having a comfortable place to live while improving the property, perhaps constructing a more substantial home. A massive 40 x 60 pole barn with an exceptionally thick concrete floor provides ample space for RVs, recreational toys, farm equipment, vehicles--you name it. There is no HOA and the zoning is AG (agriculture) allowing for maximum variety of usage. Fiber optic cable has recently been buried along the road, and electric service to the home is underground. There's a well and septic system, thus no bills for city services. Very little passing traffic enhances the sense of privacy and serenity experienced at this home. It's a retreat from it all while being conveniently near everything one needs or wants.
