Property Description

Assumable mortgage at a low 2.7 rate, pay only $800/month covering 1/2 the purchase price, if you can bring $170K cash. Craftsman’s Cypress Retreat on 5 Acres. This one of a kind 3 Bed, 2Bath, home was constructed almost entirely of old-growth milled cypress wood, offering timeless quality and rare craftsmanship. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, refinished heart pine wood floors, and expansive windows showcasing the surrounding nature. The elevated layout and wooded views give the home a treehouse-like feel, offering both privacy and peace. The spacious primary suite, currently used as a successful Airbnb, opens to a screened wood deck with a hot tub—the perfect setting to unwind in your private oasis. The kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a gas stove. The living room has built-in bookshelves, all lovingly maintained. The three bedroom closets are lined with cedar, a thoughtful detail that speaks to the home’s enduring quality. A detached cypress-built shed adds valuable space for a workshop or extra storage. The laundry room is off the main home in a large utility room with 3 commercial grade stainless steel sinks. Tucked away, but minutes from downtown Alachua, shopping, dining, and parks. It has only had two owners since it was custom-built in 1991. Enjoy this hideaway where natural beauty, privacy, and convenience come together.
