17690 NE STATE ROAD 121 WILLISTON FL 32696 MLS #OM707474

Beyond a stately, custom-designed gated entrance, a tree lined drive leads you into a property that feels like its own private world. Here, on 5.5 acres of high, dry pasture just outside the charming town of Williston, sits an immaculately maintained home built with the coveted strength and beauty of Ocala block. This is more than a house—it’s a sanctuary where every detail has been thoughtfully crafted.
From the moment you step through the front door, you’re welcomed by soaring ceilings and a light-filled open living space, anchored by a massive gas-fueled stone fireplace—a striking centerpiece that’s as inviting on cool evenings as it is stunning year-round. Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the outdoors in. Plantation shutters throughout offer both elegance and privacy. The kitchen is a culinary dream—equipped with a gas range, wall-mounted oven, double sinks, expansive counters, a large island with a breakfast bar that invites slow mornings with coffee or lively gatherings with friends.
The primary suite is a retreat unto itself—massive in scale, yet intimate in feeling—with direct access to the back porch and pool. The en suite bath offers a spa-like escape, featuring a large walk-in shower and a separate soaker tub perfect for long, quiet evenings.
Step outside and the resort-like amenities unfold: an 8-foot-deep saltwater pool glistens in the Florida sun, paired with a heated spa for year-round enjoyment. A large covered back porch provides the perfect setting for entertaining, while a convenient pool bath makes hosting effortless.
The land is as impressive as the home—fully fenced and cross-fenced, with well-maintained pasture ideal for horses. The property’s elevated position keeps it high and dry, and a whole-house generator with years’ worth of fuel storage offers unmatched peace of mind.
Despite its private, rural feel, the location couldn’t be more ideal: just 19 miles to Gainesville, 23 miles to Ocala, and 45 miles to Cedar Key and the Gulf of Mexico. Here, you’ll find a rare blend of seclusion and convenience.
Pass through the gates, and you’ll understand—this is more than property. It’s a legacy, ready for its next chapter.
