A unique 4.88 acre oasis in the heart of southwest Gainesville that feels like a sanctuary. The open concept 3/2 home comes with a pool, two car garage, large shed, chicken coop, newer roof & appliances, new water heater and gorgeous views from every room. You'll enjoy easy flow from the spacious kitchen, to the formal dining area and huge living space where you can cozy up to a real fire. From the owner's suite, step directly onto the wide deck for morning coffee. Two guest bedrooms share a private hallway and updated bath. A delightful conservatory provides a spectacular, immersive window to the gardens. Outside you'll find lush landscaping that feels like botanical garden; colorful flowers bloom all year. With no chemicals or irrigation used for years, you can feel good about growing vegetables or letting your pets or children roam. A walkway leads over a creek to a beautiful view over a small, ancient sinkhole, surrounded by a private forest. Engineering reports confirm the stability of this unique geological feature. There is no HOA here and as a parent tract you can even sub-divide. This is a rare opportunity for privacy, flexibility and acreage in a highly desirable part of town. Schedule a private tour today!
