12820 NW 116TH PLACEALACHUA, FL 32615

Some properties have acreage. Others have a pool. A select few accommodate horses. It is rare to find all three in a single offering. Beyond a gated entrance, this well-maintained brick residence is set on five fully fenced acres within the highly regarded Shaw Farms community, offering privacy, space, and usable land. A thoughtfully designed equestrian setup includes a three-stall barn with water, electric, and a tack room, along with open pasture for grazing and movement. Inside, you will find vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams introducing volume and character, complete with a dramatic wood-burning stone fireplace. A formal living room and separate family room provide layered gathering spaces, while French doors extend the interior outward, connecting the home to the grounds. The kitchen has been updated with granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and refined finishes that complement the home. The residence offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with an attached mother-in-law suite with a private entrance and shower room, allowing for flexible use as guest quarters, extended living, or a dedicated workspace. The outdoors are centered around a solar-heated pool and built-in fire pit, designed as an extension of the home’s living environment. Just beyond, a detached two-car garage and additional storage structure add substantial utility for equipment, tools, and recreational vehicles while maintaining the property’s residential character. Properties in Shaw Farms are sought after for their rare combination of usable acreage, horse-ready infrastructure, privacy, and proximity to both Alachua and Gainesville. This property delivers land, function, and comfort in one cohesive offering.
