About this home
Beyond the private gates of Santa Fe Forest, tucked away on five serene acres just outside Alachua, this custom-built estate is a masterclass in architectural presence and refined privacy.
From the moment the double doors open, the home makes an unforgettable impression. Travertine floors stretch across expansive living spaces framed by soaring ceilings, decorative columns, and intricate coffered detailing crowned by statement chandeliers. Walls of arched windows flood the interiors with natural light while capturing tranquil views of the screened pool and wooded backdrop beyond.
Two custom stone fireplaces anchor the living areas, creating warmth and balance against the home’s grand scale. Exposed wood beams in the main gathering room add richness and character, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort.
The kitchen is both striking and functional — designed for entertaining as much as everyday living. Solid wood cabinetry with decorative millwork, granite countertops, a substantial island, built-in wine refrigeration, and a professional-grade gas range with vented hood create a space worthy of a private chef. The diamond-pattern tile backsplash adds texture and artistry, while the sink overlooks the pool and outdoor living area.
Privately positioned, the primary suite is a true retreat. Tray ceilings, French doors opening directly to the pool deck, and expansive windows overlooking the acreage create a peaceful sanctuary. The spa-like bath features dual vanities, a walk-in sunken shower, and generous his-and-hers closets.
Upstairs guest quarters provide separation and flexibility, making the home ideal for hosting, multi-generational living, or extended stays.
Outdoors, the screened pool and spa enclosure become the centerpiece of daily life — framed by mature trees and complete privacy. The five-acre setting offers open space in the front and wooded seclusion in the rear, all within a gated community and entirely in Flood Zone X.
Recent improvements — including a brand new roof (2025), new pool pump, two new water heaters, and updated fixtures — provide peace of mind alongside architectural elegance.
Located just 17 miles from Gainesville, this estate delivers the rare balance of grand design, acreage, and proximity. Ideal for those seeking quiet luxury, an executive retreat, equestrian proximity, or a refined second residence.
This is not simply a home — it is a private estate experience....
