Welcome to Horse Creek Farm, a truly unique celebration of nature in the heart of Fruit Cove. This 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home is tucked away on 43+ gorgeous acres conserved in partnership with the North Florida Land Trust. The home is well-built; real hardwood floors, plenty of natural light, and stainless steel appliances are just the start. Walk in closets, built in bookshelves, a fireplace, large laundry room and oversized pantry add to the comforts here. It's easy to picture yourself having coffee on the wrap-around porch or entertaining guests on the huge screened-in patio. Horse lovers will appreciate the 4 stall concrete aisle barn with a tack room and bathroom. A full sized lighted dressage arena, wash rack, and four 1-acre paddocks complete the picture. Not to mention the 1.5 miles of riding/running trails throughout the property. Truly a nature lover's dream, parts of this property has undergone controlled burns to help restore Florida's natural Longleaf Pine Ecosystem. A passion for ecology and land management has led to collaborative efforts with the Florida Forest Service and other resources to receive wildlife grants and place the property into a conservation easement, ensuring the hard work and knowledge put into the land cannot be undone at the drop of a hat. There is still one designated buildable site for a second home or main structure. Take in the sights of wild mushrooms and owls, smell the wild azaleas, or sit on the edge of the pond and get lost in the tranquility of the calm water. Additional buildings include a screened in "summer house" that holds memories of weddings, hosting girl scout troops, and entertaining friends by the fireplace. An oversized workshop and several outbuildings for storage give you plenty of room to tinker on projects or store farm equipment. Some equipment is available for purchase separately.
