Now Offered at $895,000— A Rare Old Florida Retreat on the Black Sink Prairie Set within the historic and breathtaking Black Sink Prairie of Citra, this exceptional 21+ acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a private piece of classic Old Florida landscape. With expansive open skies, majestic granddaddy oaks, and rolling pasture, the setting is simply unforgettable. Each day begins with spectacular prairie sunrises and ends with vivid sunsets stretching across the horizon, while the quiet countryside—free from city lights—reveals brilliant star-filled nights in their full glory. At the center of the property sits a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home offering approximately 1,620 square feet of warm and inviting living space. Cathedral ceilings, skylights, rich wood accents, and a striking stone fireplace create a welcoming atmosphere, while large windows frame peaceful views of the surrounding paddocks and countryside. The property is currently configured as a well-equipped equestrian farm, highlighted by an impressive 175' x 41' concrete center-aisle barn with 16 stalls, including two foaling stalls—an extraordinary structure that would cost well over $1 million to replicate today. The barn also includes tack and feed rooms, spacious wash racks and grooming areas, and a large upstairs loft for hay and storage with exciting potential for future conversion. A studio apartment overlooking the foaling stall adds flexibility for guests, staff, or caretakers. Additional features include five paddocks with shelter sheds, a regulation-size dressage arena with clay base footing, an additional 8-stall barn, pole barn for equipment, and a large aviary/kennel building with workshop space. Supporting infrastructure includes an RV pad with water, electric and two wells, three septic systems, generator backup, and many recent roof replacements throughout the property. While ideal for equestrian pursuits such as boarding, breeding, or training, the true value of this property lies in its extraordinary land, privacy, and natural beauty. The setting lends itself equally well to a private estate, retreat, family compound, or boutique agricultural venture—all surrounded by the timeless serenity of the Black Sink Prairie.
