7422 S County Road 231Lake Butler, FL 32054Price: $459,997

Welcome to this solid brick, 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom pool home nestled on 3 peaceful acres in Lake Butler, where country living meets everyday convenience. With easy commutes to both Gainesville and Jacksonville, this property offers the best of both worlds: a quiet rural retreat without sacrificing accessibility. The home's classic brick construction is complemented by a durable metal roof, and the thoughtful updates throughout give buyers peace of mind. The kitchen has been updated, and major systems have been recently addressed, including a newer HVAC unit (approx. 7 years), a hot water heater replaced just one year ago, a new well bladder, and a new septic pump, so the big-ticket items are already taken care of. Entertain all year long with a sparkling pool that reaches an impressive 13 feet deep and is convertible to saltwater. A convenient half bathroom accessed from the rear patio makes poolside entertaining a breeze. The spacious lot offers plenty of room for family gatherings, outdoor entertaining, and storage, with powered exterior storage buildings ready for boats, RVs, ATVs, and all your outdoor toys. No HOA means the freedom to live your way. Inside, the flexible floor plan includes a bonus room currently set up as a bar and game room, perfect for entertaining, as well as an additional open bonus room that works beautifully as a home office or flex space. Storm-ready and energy-efficient, the home is wired for a 9,500-watt generator and sits on Clay Electric, known for lower-than-average utility bills. As a priority utility restoration property, you'll be among the first to have power restored after a storm. With agricultural property tax exemption thanks to the beautiful pine trees on the property, and the added potential to subdivide the lot into two parcels, this home is as smart an investment as it is a wonderful place to call home. Pool equipment and BBQ fire pit are negotiable. RVs and boats welcome. No HOA. Room to roam. Ready to move in.
