Local Insight
At $169/sqft, this 2004 pool home in Bent Tree is competitively priced for the Ocala market, but you're banking on the private pool and low $35/month HOA to offset the modest square footage on a quarter-acre lot—worth verifying the pool condition and maintenance costs since that's your main value driver here. The Hammett Bowen/Liberty/West Port school cluster is solid for the area, and you're in a flood zone X (lowest risk), which keeps insurance straightforward, though the subdivision itself is residential rather than equestrian-focused if that was a draw for moving to Ocala. This works best as a lifestyle move for remote workers or retirees who want an affordable Florida home without the Orlando commute hassle, not as a flip or investment play.
