About this home

Some properties have acreage. Others have a pool. A select few accommodate horses. It is rare to find all three in a single offering. Beyond a gated entrance, this well-maintained brick home is set on five fully fenced acres within the highly regarded Shaw Farms community, offering privacy, space, and usable land. A thoughtfully designed equestrian setup includes a three-stall barn with water, electric, and a tack room, along with open pasture for grazing. Inside the home, you will find vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and a lovely wood-burning stone fireplace. A formal living room and separate family room provide multiple gathering spaces, while French doors connect the home to the backyard. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and refined finishes that complement the home. The residence offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a fourth bedroom featuring a private entrance and shower room, allowing for flexible use as guest quarters, extended living, or a dedicated workspace. The outdoors are centered around a solar-heated pool, with the home's solar panels dedicated exclusively to pool heating, and a built-in fire pit, designed as an extension of the home's living environment, while the home itself is serviced by Alachua City Electric. Just beyond, a detached two-car garage and additional storage structure add substantial utility for equipment, tools, and recreational vehicles while maintaining the property’s residential character. Properties in Shaw Farms are sought after for their rare combination of acreage, horse-ready infrastructure, privacy, and proximity to both Alachua and Gainesville.
