24939 Old Deer Road

ULTIMATE PRIVACY & LAND FREEDOM | TWO DISTINCT PARCELS | DUAL ROAD FRONTAGE. Escape the city rush to this rare 6.3-acre private nature retreat perfectly positioned on the edge of the Ocala National Forest. This unique offering consists of two distinct legal parcels, giving you maximum flexibility to live, expand, or build for the future. Tucked away at the quiet end of Old Deer Road sits the main home: a custom-built, durable cedar country retreat featuring a metal roof, a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, gas range, new laminate flooring in the living areas, and abundant windows that fill the home with natural light while offering beautiful views of the surrounding woods and visiting wildlife. An incredible layout for outdoor living with three screened porches plus a massive 23'x23' covered porch. Official county records confirm authentic cedar construction on this solid 1987 home. The land offers a beautiful, private mix of pasture, mature oak trees, and wooded canopy, with the adjoining 4.3-acre vacant parcel extending all the way to Polar Bear Road for an independent point of access. Because it is its own individual parcel, you can easily add a detached workshop, guest house, or compound extension without typical county restrictions—or simply leave it wild to protect your absolute privacy. Endless room to expand, build, or add a workshop—buyers to verify all future land use options directly with county zoning. Located entirely in Flood Zone X (no flood insurance required). Bring your toys, your tractors, and your vision. Buyers to verify exact buildable boundaries via an independent survey. Accessible via the scenic National Forest road network, this property provides the ultimate protective barrier from suburban encroachment. While standard properties sit exposed on paved main roads, this hidden gem uses the Ocala National Forest as its personal shield—offering a level of untouched silence, security, and true off-grid character that paved highway lots simply cannot replicate.
