The Venice blends refined finishes, thoughtful design, and expansive living space on the acreage of Pine Ridge, west of Ocala and south of Gainesville. Just 30 minutes from the spring-fed waters of Crystal River, this beautifully appointed home makes a striking first impression with stone exterior accents, an 8' glass front door, professional landscaping, an all-around irrigation system, and a three-car side-load garage that enhances the home's polished exterior. Inside, soaring 9'4" ceilings create an open, airy setting throughout the home, complemented by 5 1/4" baseboards, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, and a horizontal cordless blinds package. Six LED lights illuminate the great room, while the open layout flows naturally from the main living areas into the dining space and gourmet kitchen. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the kitchen features polished quartz countertops, a massive central island, soft-close cabinets, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a premium suite of stainless steel appliances, including a double wall oven, cooktop, and Energy Star side-by-side refrigerator. The owner's suite provides a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized tile shower, separate soaking tub, and dual vanities topped with elegant quartz countertops. Three additional oversized bedrooms provide generous living space, including a tucked-away guest ensuite with its own private bath. A den with double French doors adds a versatile space for a home office, library, or additional living area. Modern technology and added peace of mind are incorporated throughout the home with a built-in Smart Home Package featuring a Ring Video Doorbell, Smart Thermostat, Keyless Entry Smart Door Lock, and Deako Switches, along with a base security system and network connection panel. A full builder warranty adds further confidence. Pine Ridge complements the home's spacious setting with 27 miles of horseback riding and hiking trails, a community barn, tennis and pickleball courts, and a unique radio-controlled flying field with its own paved airstrip, creating an exceptional backdrop for this beautifully designed Venice home.
