25096 RATTLER LN Brooksville, FL 34601

With some imagination and elbow grease, this ranch-style abode could be transformed into the perfect urban homestead! Tranquility is the name of the game; it sits on 5 fully fenced and cross-fenced acres on a close-ended road with no through traffic in beautiful rural Brooksville with no deed restrictions or HOAs. Majestic grandfather oaks draped with Spanish moss dot the landscape, and there's even a seasonal pond at the very back of the property. Inside, the split-bedroom floor plan features real hardwood flooring and a lovely wood-burning fireplace in the cozy family room. A formal dining room and a sunken living room offer plenty of space to entertain. The kitchen is open with lots of counter space for prep work, cabinet space for storage, and a breakfast bar overlooking a large eating nook. There's an enormous walk-in closet in the primary bedroom; the ensuite bathroom has a step-in shower. The remaining two guest bedrooms have sizable closets. They share a bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo. Park your grill on the vinyl-enclosed Florida room for summer barbecuing, or simply sit on a rocker with a pitcher of sweet tea and enjoy the sounds of the abundant bird and wildlife population. And since it's zoned AG, you can bring your feathered and furred friends, too! The 24'x60' pole barn equipped with power and water has horse stalls plus a large storage/tack room for your animals' needs. If you don't want to create your own garden, you're only about a mile away from Beasley Farm, where you can pick up locally-grown produce and other goods. Located minutes from the 157,000 acre Withlacoochee State Forest, you'll find tons of options for outdoors enthusiasts nearby, including the Croom Motorcycle Area, the Good Neighbor Bike Trail, campgrounds, horse riding trails, hiking trails, and more. The charm of downtown Brooksville with its mom-and-pop shops and restaurants is a short drive southwest. You're also conveniently situated between I-75 and US-41, so travel to Tampa is accessible. If you've got the time and the love to invest, this home could be everything you've ever dreamed of and then some. Get started on making that dream a reality by scheduling your private tour today!
