Tranquil 6-Acre Pool Home in Umatilla, FL – Just Minutes from The Villages Tucked beneath a canopy of majestic Grandaddy oaks, this stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom pool home sits on 6 beautifully maintained acres in the heart of Umatilla. Offering over 2,400 square feet of living space and 4,376 total square feet under roof, this property delivers the perfect blend of peaceful, private country living and convenient access to nearby amenities—just 13 miles to The Villages, 18 miles to downtown Mount Dora, and only 8 miles to Umatilla’s shops, schools, and restaurants. The setting here is truly special. From the moment you step outside, you’ll feel immersed in nature. Enjoy your mornings by the screened-in gunite pool, where breathtaking sunsets light up the conservation views behind the home. A canal at the rear leads to a large lake, perfect for bass fishing or simply enjoying the serene water. Wildlife is a daily delight—deer, turkeys, and birds frequent the property, adding to its tranquil, Old Florida charm. There’s even a firepit for cozy evenings under the stars and plenty of space to build a workshop, RV pad, or carport thanks to agricultural zoning and no deed restrictions. Inside, the home has been tastefully updated while maintaining its warm, country-inspired feel. The open-concept floor plan seamlessly connects the main living areas, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling cobblestone gas fireplace and built-in shelving. Two sets of French doors open to the screened pool area, offering effortless indoor-outdoor living. New ceiling fans and updated lighting throughout the home bring a fresh, modern touch. The expansive farmhouse-style kitchen is a standout, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, under-cabinet and recessed lighting, a large farmhouse sink with views of the pool and backyard, and ample white cabinetry for storage. A spacious 10x7 butler’s pantry provides even more prep and storage space, complete with its own sink, fridge, and granite counters—ideal for entertaining. The generously sized master suite is a peaceful retreat with his-and-hers closets, French doors to the pool area, and a private bathroom with dual sinks and a walk-in tiled shower. Two guest bedrooms, each with large closets, provide comfortable accommodations for family or visitors, while the inside laundry room with utility sink adds everyday convenience. The exterior features are just as impressive. The oversized two-car garage and large storage shed offer plenty of space for equipment and hobbies. Manicured landscaping surrounds the home, and there’s still room to bring animals, add gardens, or customize the land to suit your lifestyle. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, an equestrian looking for space, or simply someone dreaming of a quiet life surrounded by nature, this Umatilla property delivers. You’re just 25 miles to the Ocala National Forest, 19 minutes to Alexander Springs for summertime swimming, and not far from trail systems like Santos, Pruitt, and Landbridge for hiking, biking, or riding.
