1589 SE 44TH PLACE, BUSHNELL, FL 33513

There are many beautiful homes to choose from; but it's rare to find a home that exudes this kind of character. This is a home with distinct qualities that separates it from other beautiful homes... a “Trophy” home. Designed with immense love and attention to detail by an architect and interior designer as their personal dream home... a Mediterranean Villa and Equestrian Estate. There are many interesting elements to this home, for instance the metal work was salvaged and restored, a nearby mill produced the wood floors from local cypress trees. The porch beams and details were also locally cut and detailed at the same local mill. The tile is hand painted, the metal work below the kitchen marble bar is custom crafted, the kitchen ceiling is hand painted, the outdoor fireplace has imported European tile. The tile above the window arches coordinates with the pool tile. So much thought and love was put into this home. You have a 48 ft pool that leads you to the barn that becomes an extension of the home, also built in the same Mediterranean style. HOme was built as handicap accessable. Let's jump to the alter ego of this property – The ten acres of no climb and board on board fencing, 5 paddocks (all have shade trees), concrete block barn with five 12x12 stalls (2 having run outs), cross ties, large covered wash area, 13x14 tack room fully finished, sink, washer and dryer hookups and half bath and a feed room. You have plenty of room for a Dressage arena, Hunter Jumper, Roping or pleasure riding the quiet rural area. There is a second pole barn for equipment, more stalls or other livestock.   You have freedom to raise goats, cows, sheep, chickens and vegetable garden – let your imagination run wild. If you are not a horse person, the barn can be converted to office, or storage for cars, motorcycles, workshop... whatever you desire. This is the best of both worlds, you get to live in a work of art, then step outside to immerse yourself in nature. If you work from home don't miss this one.You can have an office upstairs or in the second owner's suite as it already has a built in desk and storage, on beautiful days work on the back porch. You are 54 minutes to Tampa, 43 minutes to Ocala and 59 minutes to Orlando. This is truly a rare “Trophy” property, you will be grateful that it is yours.
