Virtually Staged. PRICE REDUCED — NOW OFFERED $50,000 BELOW RECENT APPRAISAL. 8 ACRES. NO HOA. NO CDD. AG ZONING. FLOOD ZONE X. This is the kind of property buyers come to Florida hoping to find and rarely do. Set beneath mature live oaks draped in Spanish moss, this distinctive home sits on 8 private acres in Hernando County, offering something increasingly difficult to find: room for horses, livestock, gardens, farming, recreational space, or simply the freedom to enjoy your land without the restrictions of an HOA or CDD, subject to applicable regulations. And the house is every bit as memorable as the acreage. Florida Cracker-inspired architecture gives the exterior the warmth of a wooded mountain retreat, with board-and-batten styling, a deep covered porch, steep gables, decorative knee braces, cupolas, and a distinctive flared roofline. Step inside and the home makes an entirely different statement. A soaring two-story great room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-peak brick fireplace with uncommon pierced-brick detailing and a substantial timber mantel. Original exposed beams cross the cathedral ceiling, triangular windows fill the room with natural light, and an open loft with its original banister overlooks the space below. The best parts of this home's character weren't renovated away they were preserved. The kitchen was thoughtfully updated with white cabinetry, Calacatta-inspired quartz countertops, brushed brass accents, a workstation sink, new appliances, generous seating, and a bright window-lined breakfast nook. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 renovated bathrooms, including a first-floor primary suite with a private bath and generous closet space. A second downstairs bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests, while an additional entertaining room with mini bar adds another gathering space. Upstairs, the loft leads to a private bedroom and full bath. Outside, a covered patio and expansive rear deck open to acres of green. A three-bay run-in
