About this home
Exceptional opportunity to own a versatile 5-acre farmstead on a paved road in Fort White featuring two separate livable homes, multiple outbuildings, extensive infrastructure, and endless possibilities for multi-generational living, rental income, a home-based business, or hobby farming. The main residence is 1928sq. ft. and offers a spacious and thoughtfully updated floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus an office that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, nursery, or playroom. Inside, you'll find ceramic tile flooring throughout, two separate living areas, a beautifully renovated kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances, and two updated bathrooms. The primary suite features a large walk-in closet that leads to an additional private room with its own exterior entrance, creating the perfect space for a home office, nursery, guest room, or private retreat. A major highlight of the property is the impressive barn apartment, providing approximately 950 square feet of additional living space. Complete with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and living room, this separate residence. The apartment is serviced by its own septic system and dedicated 120-foot well, offering excellent independence from the main home. Beyond the two residences, the property is loaded with improvements. The large 40x60barn with roll-up door houses the apartment and provides excellent storage and workspace. A second 30' x 46' barn features a concrete floor and large roll-up doors on both sides, making it ideal for equipment, vehicles, workshops, or agricultural use. Behind the main home is a flexible bonus building with a full bathroom that could serve as an office, gym, studio, workshop, guest space, or additional storage. Additional covered parking shelter for farm equipment. The 5-acre parcel is mostly cleared with scattered mature trees, creating a beautiful balance of open space and privacy. Whether you're looking to establish a small farm, bring horses or livestock, create an income-producing property, or simply enjoy the freedom of country living, this property offers room to grow and adapt to your needs. Conveniently located on a paved road in Fort White, you'll be just minutes from the area's renowned natural attractions, including the Santa Fe River, Ichetucknee River, Ginnie Springs, Poe Springs, Blue Springs, and numerous public boat ramps and parks. Properties offering this combination of acreage, multiple homes, barns, infrastructure, and proximity to North Florida's rivers and springs are incredibly rare. This is a true property with unlimited potential. Please note - the barn and apartment within are not permitted - well, septic and a/c are permitted for this building.
Local Insight
At $182/sqft for a 1972 home on 5 acres with no HOA in a flood-safe zone, you're getting rural acreage at a reasonable per-square-foot price, but that's largely because Fort White is 30+ minutes from Gainesville and has limited commercial amenities—this works if you want seclusion and land, not convenience. The in-law suite and 4-car garage add functional value for multigenerational living or someone who needs serious workshop/storage space, but the age means you'll want a thorough inspection on the HVAC, roof, and electrical systems before committing. The 5-acre lot is the real draw here; make sure the septic and well systems are in good shape, since rural properties eat up that cost advantage quickly if either needs replacement.
