Nothing is more iconic America than rolling green acres, peaceful grazing cattle, and frolicking horses. We might be tempted to believe this is only possible with 200+ acres and miles away from the nearest town. But in DeLand you can live that dream while being only 5 minutes from its award winning Main Street and a quick 30 minutes from either metro Orlando or the Atlantic Beaches. What makes this lifestyle so appealing? We invite you to take a seat on the expansive front porch at 1350 Deerfoot Road and look out over the serene pastures to know the joy of ranch living. You are surrounded by your own little piece of paradise and can enjoy life at a slower pace.
Living on acreage does not mean you have to give up style. High ceilings and large windows bring the outside in, while a family friendly split bedroom, open floor plan make for easy modern living. The addition of a screened pool/spa and summer kitchen make this home perfect for year-round fun.
When living on a farm or ranch, a person needs lots of space for keeping all the necessary equipment. A workshop, like this home’s 38’x12’ example is a must. Another great option is adding a barn to house horses or other livestock. This home features a 4-stall barn with a tack room and also has additional 100 AMP service. If animals are not part of your American dream; maybe you are more of a car or “big boy toy” collector. The beauty of living on acreage is the ability to have plenty of covered, secured storage. This home boasts a 3-car attached garage as well as an additional 4-car detached garage and covered RV pad. No close neighbors or HOA to tell you what to do here!
Making the decision to move onto acreage does not mean giving up living near “things to do.” Delightful downtown DeLand features numerous restaurants, quaint shopping, and is home to Stetson University which provides the city constant energy and activities for the entire family. The opportunity to have the best of both worlds does not come along often, but when it does, the value is easily apparent. Come and live the American dream.
