Welcome to a truly special five-acre, fully fenced property in Newberry, where updated living and one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces come together to create a private retreat that is still within easy reach of Gainesville. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an open, split-bedroom layout that lives larger than expected. Pull into your private retreat just west of Gainesville. Step inside and you will immediately notice how thoughtfully the home has been updated. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh interior paint create a clean, move-in-ready feel, while a custom living room built in and a newly installed ventless fireplace give the living room warmth and character. The renovated kitchen features updated cabinetry, countertops, and newer appliances, and the bathroom finishes have been refreshed. Newer 4 point items are taken care of. The metal roof, HVAC system, water heater, and kitchen appliances were all replaced in 2021, so many of the major improvements have already been handled. Out back is where this property becomes something truly different. A large covered wood porch with an integrated hot tub opens to an additional deck area with plenty of room for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. Just beyond the porch, a hand-built gazebo and two-person swing overlook the fire-pit gathering area, all surrounded by mature plants, established trees, and pristine landscaping. The entire five acres are fenced, with a cross fence and gated opening separating the homesite from approximately three cleared rear acres. That layout creates flexibility for animals, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the open space. A gorgeous, tree-lined public road leads to a private road, with the property tucked away at the very end for an added sense of peace and privacy. Three outbuildings add even more function, including a large woodworking workshop with power and water, a former greenhouse now used for storage, an additional storage shed, and a chicken coop, irrigation, a covered carport. All of your practical pieces are already in place. All of this sits in Newberry with convenient access to Tioga, Celebration Pointe, Santa Fe College, the University of Florida, Shands Hospital, and the shopping, dining, healthcare, and entertainment Gainesville has to offer. Properties combining this much usable acreage, extensive outdoor living, serious workshop space, and an updated home are difficult to find at this price point. This is more than a home on five acres. It is a private sanctuary with the space and improvements already in place to make it your own. Schedule a private tour of this immaculate property before it is gone.
