Discover a private and peaceful slice of rural Florida on approximately 9 acres along Gooski Prairie in Citra. The expansive prairie creates a sense of seclusion, with wide-open views and generous distance from neighboring homes. After sunset, beautiful night skies provide a stunning backdrop for stargazing. Approximately 2 of the property’s 9 acres are high and dry. The remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom tiny home features a walk-in closet and indoor laundry, while a new stone firepit and an outdoor stone fish tank enhance the outdoor setting. The cleared land offers the potential for building your dream home or bringing an RV. Electricity and a well are on the property, along with a septic tank that is currently not connected. The remaining acreage extends into the natural prairie, where water levels fluctuate with rainfall and seasonal conditions, creating an ever-changing landscape. Two ponds add to the natural setting, with water levels that also fluctuate. Agricultural zoning offers potential for farming, gardening, and keeping horses or other livestock, subject to county requirements. An unfinished barn offers potential for animal shelter, equipment storage, a workshop, or other uses once completed to suit your needs. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the region’s natural attractions, including Silver Springs, Salt Springs, Juniper Springs, Fern Hammock Springs, Silver Glen Springs, and Alexander Springs. Explore ATV riding on designated trails in the Ocala National Forest, along with hiking, paddling, and hunting opportunities in the Ocala Wildlife Management Area. Whether you envision a country retreat or a home base for outdoor adventures, this property offers a distinctive setting with room to make it your own. The property is not located on the river. River photos showcase the surrounding area’s natural beauty and do not depict the property. Schedule your showing today!
