Offered at a compelling value and priced to sell, this rare 16-acre estate sits high on a rolling bluff with over 90 feet of elevation, offering breathtaking views of the world-renowned Rodman Reservoir and the winding Ocklawaha River. Built in the 1970s by a skilled artist, the 4,986 sq ft courtyard-style home features five bedrooms and four bathrooms, with hand-painted murals of the river throughout—even on the custom shutters. A whole-home generator, furnace, and LIFETIME aluminum roof ensure lasting comfort and reliability. Though the property line concludes at the Marjorie Rawlings take-line, you’ll enjoy full access to the water’s edge, a private walkway, and a pre-existing dock—giving you the full experience of waterfront living without the burden of waterfront taxes. It’s truly the best of both worlds. The property is perimeter fenced and gated, offering ultimate privacy and seclusion. Over 11 acres of fenced pasture lie on the south side of the road and border the Ocala National Forest, providing immediate access to thousands of acres of preserved land. Whether you’re horseback riding, hiking, or simply enjoying the natural beauty, adventure is just beyond your fence line. Located in the heart of the Ocala National Forest—spanning more than 387,000 acres—you’re surrounded by unmatched natural beauty and recreation. Trailheads for horseback riding and ATV/UTV use are just minutes away, as is the Rodman Reservoir boat ramp for easy lake access. Wildlife sightings are frequent and include eagles, Osceola turkey, whitetail deer, and black bear. The estate also includes multiple powered and plumbed workshops, two attached garages, an additional workshop, and four covered carport spaces. The fenced pasture with scattered live oaks is ideal for horses, cattle, or peaceful open space. The nearest town, Salt Springs, is just 10 miles away and offers dining and small-scale shopping. For larger stores and amenities, Palatka is approximately 25 miles away, and Ocala is about 40 miles. You’re also a short drive to some of Florida’s most beloved natural springs, including Salt Springs and Silver Glen Springs. Owned by only two families since it was built, this is a rare chance to own one of the largest bluff-top estates overlooking the reservoir—where timeless craftsmanship and Florida’s raw beauty come together in a way few properties can offer.
