A rare opportunity in the highly sought-after Jonesville area-15.16 acres offering privacy, equestrian amenities and an extensively reconstructed residence, approximately 15-20 minutes from the University of Florida, UF Health/Shands, hospitals, shopping, dining and Gainesville conveniences.
Properties offering this amount of acreage so close to Gainesville, particularly with a substantially reconstructed home and established equestrian infrastructure, are increasingly difficult to find. Originally constructed in 1968, the residence underwent an extensive reconstruction and complete redesign following the owner's purchase in 2022, with the project completed in 2024.
Following completion, Alachua County updated the property's Effective Year Built to 2020. This was far beyond a cosmetic renovation-the interior was gutted and floor plan completely redesigned, with new framing, insulation, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, doors, flooring, cabinetry, lighting, fixtures and finishes throughout.
As part of the redesign, portions of the existing roof truss system were professionally engineered, modified and reconfigured to create approximately 9-foot ceilings and a vaulted owner's suite. Nearly everything buyers see today reflects the home's extensive reconstruction and transformation.
The heart of the home is the luxury kitchen, featuring real-wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, large island, GE Cafe appliances, Bosch dishwasher and high-end finishes. Appliances provide app-based control from your phone. The adjoining living spaces feel open, warm and inviting, complemented by a new fireplace, abundant natural light and oversized black-framed Andersen high-efficiency Low-E windows framing views of the acreage.
The owner's suite offers a private retreat with vaulted ceiling and spa-inspired bath featuring a large curbless walk-in shower with open entry, freestanding soaking tub and U by Moen smart shower system with Alexa voice control. Both showers are curbless, and 36-inch interior doors and hallways were incorporated throughout much of the home to provide wider, more accessible passageways.
Additional improvements include engineered wood, brick, slate and ceramic tile flooring, tankless water heating, new HVAC and lighting, board-and-batten fiber-cement siding, updated propane infrastructure and smart-home conveniences. Outside, the property has been extensively improved for equestrian and country living.
A new 40'*48' pole barn with two 12' * 48' lean-tos offers flexibility for multiple stalls and tack/feed space. Additional improvements include a 24' * 24' concrete-floored pole barn and 24' * 24' covered paddock pole barn with automatic waterers, lighting, outlets and water access, plus crossbuck fencing and divided paddock areas.
Existing infrastructure allows for additional water and electrical runs. Extensive tree-canopy work, property cleanup, landscaping and infrastructure improvements have transformed the acreage while preserving mature trees, expansive green space and pastoral setting.
A solar-powered security gate provides controlled entry to the property. Enjoy the privacy and breathing room of country living without sacrificing convenient access to Gainesville. Adding to the property's versatility, the 15.16 acres are a mother parcel with potential to be split, subject to verification with Alachua County. A special opportunity to enjoy acreage, privacy, equestrian living, and modern comfort, minutes from Gainesville
