The story
- Pool
Tucked away on approximately 41 secluded acres in Monticello, this charming North Florida farmhouse offers exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and a peaceful country lifestyle, all within an easy drive of Tallahassee. The 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features approximately 2,400 square feet of inviting living space, a beautiful cypress exterior, expansive covered porches, and multiple decks overlooking the property. Inside, warm wood finishes and architectural details create an inviting atmosphere, from the cozy living room with pecky cypress walls and a wood-burning fireplace featuring a Tennessee fieldstone hearth and cypress mantel, to the spacious great room with vaulted wood ceilings and exposed beams that opens to the kitchen. A light-filled sunroom offers another inviting space to enjoy the surrounding landscape. The main-level primary suite features a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, spacious walk-in closet, and direct access to the screened porch. Outdoors, the property is truly special, with established walking trails, a pond, approximately 3 acres of planted longleaf pines, mature trees, fruit trees, camellias, and abundant wildlife. A fenced backyard, firepit, and swim spa add to the outdoor enjoyment, with ample acreage for recreation, gardening, or equestrian pursuits. An oversized detached garage/workshop and three-bay carport provide ample covered parking and space for vehicles, tractors, RVs, and recreational equipment. Meaningful updates include energy-efficient Pella windows, a new 2026 roof with a transferable warranty, 2024 septic drainfield, and 2026 water heater. A rare opportunity to enjoy acreage, privacy, authentic farmhouse character, and the beauty of North Florida without sacrificing convenient access to Tallahassee. *The twilight photos were virtually enhanced.
