Why settle for 10 acres when you can have 25 ACRES of lush green pasture to establish your dream homestead. This tranquil property is located in a very desirable area 7 miles south of Brooksville and only minutes from the Suncoast Parkway. The country style home features full length front and rear porches, vaulted ceilings and generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom has french doors onto the back porch and an all new bathroom. Explore the trees surrounding the home and you'll discover a unique treehouse deck, cleverly built around a cluster of live oak trunks and overlooking a brick fire pit, perfect for sundowners and relaxed evenings. The 12 stall barn with its covered walkways is brimming with character and can tell a story or two from its days as a race horse barn. With its fresh coat of red paint it still has many years of useful life ahead. In the garden paddock you'll find raised vegetable beds under a shade cloth hoophouse as well as a selection of young fruit trees. The thick bahia grass grows in abundance and is perfect for grazing horses, cattle, goats, sheep or any other livestock. There is a lighted arena alongside the barn for evening equestrian activities and you can ride your horses down Squirrel Prairie Rd to the green banks of the 6 mile long Masaryktown canal. The water quality from the deep well is second to none. Don't miss this opportunity to own your piece of country life; away from it all yet only 5 minutes to the nearest Publix and 45 minutes to Tampa International Airport.

Agricultural District
This district is designed to promote and encourage the conservation and utilization of prime and productive agricultural land, as well as the preservation of the open character of certain land, which, by virtue of their topography, soil types, natural resources and/or relationship to other land use areas, should be carefully reviewed and evaluated prior to their possible development or else should continue to be developed at a relatively low-density to maintain their overall natural environment and unique character with the county.
