Tucked within the popular equestrian community of Pine Ridge, this rare 5-acre property offers both freedom and functionality—without the constraints of an HOA! Bordering one of the community’s scenic horse trails, this thoughtfully designed 1.5-story home is ideal for equestrians or anyone seeking space and convenience. Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a formal living room, cozy family room, eat-in kitchen, and a formal dining room. A vaulted loft adds flexibility—perfect as an office, studio, or extra lounge. A fully enclosed 15x30’ porch finished in tongue-and-groove pine expands the living area with rustic character and year-round comfort. Equestrian amenities include a 20x50 barn with four matted stalls, each with its own 30’ corral, a wash rack, and an open tack/feed area. Easily convert for a fifth stall, and take advantage of a separate 12x12’ pavilion with corral—ideal for a sixth stall or equipment storage. The layout features a level 100x100’ paddock, 2 additional paddocks off the barn, and approximately two untouched acres for a round pen, more paddocks, or peaceful hacking trails. For entertaining, a 24x24 open-air pavilion overlooks the barn and is wired for a hot tub or spa. A 12x24 enclosed workshop behind the two-car carport offers great utility for hobbies, storage, or tools. All just minutes from Lecanto’s growing retail and dining, with quick access to the Suncoast Parkway. Around 45 minutes to WEC and Florida Horse Park, 8 miles to Gulf waters, and close to Crystal River and Homosassa Springs for kayaking or swimming with manatees. This one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect balance of country charm and modern convenience in one of Citrus County’s most desirable locations.
