Welcome to October Pond, composed of two lots that overlook a combined 9+ acres of pristine countryside in NW Ocala. This property is a hidden jewel that offers unique opportunities. Fenced and gated, live oaks canopy the raised driveway as you enter the property, overlooking a natural pond. A retro-style “cottage” with 2-bedrooms and 2-baths. The cottage has a cozy rustic charm and comes fully furnished, with new flooring, and lots of natural light. A large front porch as well as a large screen enclosed patio space with brick flooring to enjoy the tranquility of the surrounding property's sweeping views. Attached to the cottage is a workshop with roll-up door, perfectly suited for a hobby space as desired. This cottage has ample potential for use as an AirBnB or secondary residence for long-term guests, relatives, or a separate rental as desired. The home is offered fully furnished with a stocked workshop and a John Deere mower. This property is zoned for horses, making the conversion into a functioning horse farm a true possibility– simply establish your own barn and paddocks to your needs. Located just 10 minutes from the Ocala Jockey Club (which was recently acquired by the World Equestrian Center), 15 minutes from HITS, 30 minutes from the World Equestrian Center itself, this property is well-suited for a variety of disciplines and ready for additional customizations. There is also plenty of opportunity to build the home of your dreams from the ground-up while living on-property or set up a specific area for horses, with a 5 acre additional parcel providing the perfect space to do so. Each Parcel has it's own entrance. Perfectly placed between both Ocala and Gainesville, this property offers plenty of options to explore Central Florida's many shopping, dining, entertainment, medical, and educational opportunities!
