UPDATE: This home went under contract on August 18, after just five days on the market, and it was sold on October 18 for $2,065,000.
A 17.5-acre waterfront estate is on the market for $2.1 million in the Bellechase community on the southern edge of Ocala.
The 4-bedroom, 5-bath home at 708 SE 44th Road was listed Wednesday by Rasha Elmallah of Deacon and Soldier Properties in Ocala. It last sold for $1.2 million in May 2018.
The property offers privacy and security as it sits in a private section within Bellechase with two other homes that share a private gate. However, it is exempt from the HOA’s cost and restriction.
With 4,535 square feet of living space and 9,902 total, the property leaves little to be desired with soaring 12- to 18-foot ceilings, an in-ground pool and spa, and luscious landscaping.
The property is filled with fruit trees and palm trees, and it also features a stocked pond for fishing.
Inside the home you will find a split bedroom floor plan, a chef’s kitchen, and a coffee/wine bar. The master bedroom also has a private office in addition to home’s custom library with a separate entrance.
