Pre-Construction. To be built. Experience The Venice, a masterfully designed retreat where luxury meets a laid-back country pulse. Situated on the expansive acreage of Pine Ridge, this home places you west of Ocala and south of Gainesville—perfectly positioned just 30 minutes from the spring-fed waters of Crystal River. The Venice makes a grand first impression with a striking stone exterior accent and an 8’ glass front door. The three-car side-load garage maintains the home's sleek profile, while professional landscaping and a built-in irrigation system ensure your estate remains pristine year-round. Step inside to an airy, open atmosphere defined by soaring 9’4” ceilings that carry throughout the entire home. At its heart lies a Gourmet Kitchen designed for the culinary enthusiast, featuring polished quartz countertops, a massive central island, and a premium suite of stainless steel appliances, including a wall oven, cooktop, and an Energy Star side-by-side refrigerator. A spacious walk-in pantry flows into a bright dining area, creating a seamless space for entertaining. Modern convenience and peace of mind come standard with a built-in Smart Home Package featuring a Ring Video Doorbell, Smart Thermostat, Keyless Entry Smart Door Lock, and Deako Switches, all supported by a full builder warranty. The layout provides a beautiful balance of shared space and quiet quarters. The owner’s suite serves as a secluded sanctuary, boasting a spa-inspired bath with an oversized tile shower, a separate soaking tub, and dual vanities topped with elegant quartz countertops. Three additional oversized bedrooms provide ample room for family or guests, including a tucked-away guest ensuite that is a hidden gem for long-term visitors. For those who work from home or crave a quiet library, the den with double French doors provides the ideal workspace. Living in Pine Ridge means more than just a beautiful home; it’s an invitation to an active, outdoorsy lifestyle with immediate proximity to 27 miles of horseback riding and hiking trails, a community barn, tennis and pickleball courts, and even a unique radio-controlled flying field with its own paved airstrip. Discover a home that doesn’t just house your life, but enhances it.
