Property Description
Welcome to Shell Pond Plantation, where rustic charm meets refined country living on an expansive 20-acre estate. Tucked away in the heart of Levy County's horse country, this breathtaking property offers a peaceful retreat for equestrians, nature lovers, and those seeking an escape from city life. Conveniently located just outside Williston, this property provides easy access to top equestrian destinations, scenic outdoor activities, and the best of Florida's natural beauty.
As you enter through the grand stone-and-timber entrance, a picturesque oak-lined drive leads you to a stunning cypress log home, a masterpiece of craftsmanship that could grace the pages of a magazine. With 1,728 sq. ft. of living space and 3,904 sq. ft. under the roof, this home exudes warmth, character, and timeless elegance.
A stately set of stone steps welcomes you to the wraparound porch, offering panoramic views of the lush countryside. Step through the double French doors, and you're greeted by a beautifully open floor plan, soaring vaulted ceilings, and exquisite woodwork that creates an atmosphere of cozy sophistication. The living room is bathed in natural light, thanks to angled ceiling-high windows that bring the outdoors in, creating an airy and inviting space.
The gourmet kitchen is a standout feature, showcasing granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and a paneled refrigerator that seamlessly blends with the home's design. The master bedroom is a private retreat, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and private access to a screened back porch, where you can enjoy unforgettable sunsets. The en-suite master bath is designed for comfort and style, featuring a granite-topped double vanity and an elegantly tiled walk-in shower with a glass door. Two additional bedrooms offer scenic views, while the guest bath is equally well-appointed with granite countertops, detailed tile work, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower.
Beyond the home, the property is a dream for horse enthusiasts and those who appreciate the beauty of nature. A four-stall center aisle wood barn features a paneled tack room, a spacious workshop/storage room, and an attached lean-to for hay or equipment storage. The farm is designed with a large fenced pasture, a riding arena, and majestic granddaddy oaks that provide shade and serenity.
Shell Pond Plantation is not only a private retreat but also ideally situated for outdoor enthusiasts and equestrians. Just minutes from Williston, the property offers easy access to shopping, dining, and essential amenities. For horse lovers, it's only 30 miles to the World Equestrian Center, 17 miles to the HITS showgrounds, and 34 miles to Ocala, Florida's Horse Capital. Nature lovers will appreciate being within 45 miles of the Gulf of Mexico, perfect for boating and fishing, and close to Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park and Goethe State Forest, offering miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Gainesville, home to the University of Florida and top medical facilities, is just 25 miles away.
Whether you are looking for a turnkey horse property, a private sanctuary, or a luxurious country retreat, Shell Pond Plantation delivers an unmatched combination of rustic elegance and modern comfort. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Florida's most sought-after countryside.
