House in Florida

Address: Fort McCoy 32134

Approximate value $: 100,000

I bought this Fort McCoy, FL property as a vacation home in 2007 and have since decided to retire closer to my grandchildren in Bend, Oregon. I purchased it for $147,500 and spent considerable time and money fencing and improving the property. I’m asking $97,900. The property is free and clear. My loss is your gain.

This is a 1728 sq. ft. well-maintained, fully-fenced, bungalow-style manufactured home with cedar log siding. It sits on 4.24 acres with beautiful tall pine trees (some 100’). The area is very peaceful. Part of the property adjoins state forest land. It has a “golf course-like” environment. Great place to practice. It’s on a “no-through traffic” road, only 15 minutes from Ocala. The City of Ocala is on several lists of best small cities for retirees. It has a broad range of stores and services. Several stores and services also in Fort McCoy. Great north central FL location, equal driving distance to Gulf coast and Atlantic coast.

The home has a split plan: a master bedroom suite on one end and two bedrooms and a second full bath at the other end. There is an eat-in kitchen, dining room, living room, family room with fireplace, and laundry area.The backyard has a beautiful pond (with a footbridge) which is stocked with bass and tilapia. There is a 930 sq. ft. workshop/ storage building (with a covered area for a vehicle) that was originally a guest cottage.
The property is zoned A-1 and R-1: a few horses and cattle are allowed. I haven’t used it for this purpose. Zoning also permits a second building which could be a guest house or "granny flat" building and must be smaller than the principal residence. Lots of room for animals, an RV, and vehicles. New metal carport for two vehicles. Great neighbours. Wonderful property for Snowbirds to enjoy tee-shirt weather in the winter.

I have a few other properties (residential, one commercial/apartment building, and land) in Montana that I might be willing to sell/trade in the right situation.

Please call Gary for more information at 406-370-6709. I have a more detailed information sheet about the FL property for those who are interested.

I will also consider trading for a property in or near Bend, Oregon. I would prefer a small acreage if possible. I’ve built several homes so can make any necessary improvements.
