Ride or walk straight Into Croom State Forest From Your Own Backyard Welcome to 28410 Wildlife Lane, a 2021-built equestrian property on 2.5 acres zoned Agricultural in Brooksville. It has direct access to Croom State Forest, so you can ride from your driveway onto roughly 20,000 acres and about 50 miles of horseback riding trails. The home is on the paved and county maintained portion of Wildlife Lane, so no dirt roads! The 3,007 sq ft custom built block home has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. 10-foot ceilings throughout, with tray ceilings in the living room, family room, and primary bedroom. The floor plan includes a formal dining area, a living room, an eat-in kitchen, and a separate great room/TV room of f the kitchen. A covered porch runs across the front of the house. The split-bedroom layout puts the primary suite on its own side of the home and french doors leading the barn and backyard. The two guest bedrooms on the other side share a hall bath, and a third bath (which happens to be a complete STUNNER) is set up as a pool bath, with plenty of room to put a pool in (plans are available). Foam insulation is injected into the block walls and the roof, which helps keep energy bills low (under $200 a month for most of the year!). The kitchen has a large island, a double built-in oven plus a range (three ovens in total), and a pot filler. It is also plumbed for gas cooking; a tank would need to be added outside and connected. The primary bedroom has tray ceilings, French doors that open to the backyard and barn. The primary bathroom has a vaulted ceiling (13 ft), a walk-in shower with dual heads, a soaking tub, a private toilet room, dual walk-in closets, and its own door outside. The oversized laundry room doubles as a mudroom and includes a small office nook. Outside, the entire property is perimeter fenced with 3-board fencing. An automatic gate opens to a paved driveway, and the yard has fruit trees and two productive garden beds. There are two pastures, with room for at least two more. There is also room to build a regulation dressage arena with a little leveling. An attached oversized run in (16x24) can be converted to a 2-stall barn with ease. And there is room for 4 more stalls under roof in the 36x24 covered pole barn attached the stalls and garage. A private deeded easement on the east side gives you a separate entrance for farriers, vets, or boarders. The same easement leads to a detached 2-car garage with plenty of overhead storage and room above to finish. The garage connects to a 24x36 covered concrete parking pad with a 50-amp RV hookup. The pad is tall enough for a 5th wheel or a gooseneck with living quarters, and it could be converted into a 4-stall center-aisle barn. Utilities include a 1 HP well and a septic system. And since the home was built 5 years ago, everything is still very new! Peace of mind, peace of living! I-75, shopping, and hotels are just 3.5 miles away. Downtown Brooksville is 9 miles away, with all its charm and amazing restaurants. The nearby SR 50/US 98 and I-75 interchange is planning on building an Aldi, with land there held by Publix and a restaurant group for future development. Drive times are about 45 minutes to the Florida Horse Park and the Florida State Fairgrounds, just under an hour to the World Equestrian Center, and about an hour to Tampa International Airport.
