A stately drive through an automatic gate leads to this French Country estate. Perfectly placed on 5.49 acres in the tranquil Oak Ford community, the entire ranch is fenced and cross fenced, holding beautifully landscaped grounds that evoke Old Florida charm. An equestrian spring-fed pond, three separate pastures featuring automatic watering systems and a well-designed concrete 6 stall hurricane-safe stable with air-conditioned tack room, shower and sleeping quarters complete this serene equestrian paradise. The interior of the home opens with a 2-story entryway, adjacent to the generous Living Room featuring a two-sided gas fireplace wrapped in coral stone and opening to a sun-filled den or office. In addition to a formal private Dining Room, the first floor offers a kitchen gathering place including a parlor with coral fireplace and a dining space with a view of the pool, stable and pastures beyond. The large, first-floor Master Suite is filled with light and the peaceful sound of a pool fountain. Two sets of French doors open to the caged pool on one side and a private outdoor spa on the other side of the suite. Upstairs offers three guest rooms, two baths and gorgeous sunset views of the pond and pasture. A four-car detached garage provides room to store all your vehicles, equipment and a workshop. This peaceful retreat creates serenity and space for country living while still being only 10 minutes to I-75 and 25 minutes from Downtown and beaches.
