About this property

Ponderosa Farmhouse: Serene 2.7 Acres by UF

Step into a piece of history and forget your worries in this charming 1929

farmhouse, nestled on 2.75 acres of serene Florida countryside. Surrounded by

towering live oaks draped in Spanish moss, this spacious 2,700-square-foot

retreat offers a peaceful escape while keeping you conveniently close to

Gainesville’s top attractions.



With five inviting bedrooms and an upstairs loft, there’s plenty of room for

family and friends to unwind. The cozy living and dining areas provide the

perfect setting for gathering, whether you're sharing a meal or relaxing after

a day of exploring.



Newly added for your enjoyment, a private two-person hot tub sits just off the

back porch — the perfect spot to soak under the stars after a Gator game or a

long day outdoors. Tucked behind the home for added privacy, it offers a

peaceful, intimate space to relax while taking in the quiet beauty of the

surrounding countryside.



Located just 10.5 miles from the UF Stadium and O’Connell Center, you can

reach campus in as little as 15 minutes when there’s no event traffic.

Gainesville Airport is just a short 15-25 minute drive away, and downtown

Gainesville is within 10-20 minutes for great dining, shopping, and

entertainment. Plus, with nearby parks and direct access to the local bike

trail, outdoor adventures are right at your doorstep.



Whether you're visiting for a game weekend, a peaceful getaway, or a gathering

with loved ones, this historic farmhouse offers a unique blend of rustic charm

and modern convenience. Book your stay and experience the beauty and

tranquility of old Florida!
