Under contract-accepting backup offers. If you want Alachua County convenience but Levy County taxes, this is the house for you. Situated on a beautiful, partially cleared 20.38-acre parcel, this southern farmhouse designed home is located on the very first, eastern street within Levy County. With sustainability in mind, the home was constructed with insulated concrete form (ICF), considered as an innovative building material. Unlike traditional wood-built homes, ICF blocks have interlocking sections, so the wall systems fit tightly together, creating a highly energy-efficient home. In addition to the ICF construction, this 2006 built home, has a metal roof with a ¾ inch oil-based material underneath, providing a strong bond with the metal roof, protecting against rust, corrosion, peeling and flaking.

This room can be accessed off the foyer as well as off the master hallway. Inside the master hallway is a utility closet that currently houses the washer/dryer.
