Gated Community with Lake Access, Boat Ramp & Dock

Located in the heart of the Ocala National Forest, this property is minutes from the Salt Springs Recreation Area, known for its crystal-clear springs, boat launch, and family-friendly swimming. You’ll also enjoy miles of ATV, horseback, and hiking trails, and year-round fishing and hunting in the area’s lakes, rivers, and forest ponds.

Just 10 minutes to downtown Salt Springs for grocery, gas, pharmacy, and restaurants. Only 30 minutes to Ocala or Palatka, and about 50 minutes to Gainesville.

Lake Kerr is a pristine, spring-fed, 2,800-acre lake and the second-largest lake in Marion County. It connects to Little Lake Kerr (Lake Werner) and offers some of Central Florida’s best fishing—bass, bream, specks, catfish, and more. Its unique shoreline creates perfect conditions for watersports, tubing, kayaking, and boating, with scenic spots like Kaufman Island and a public ramp at Morehead Park.

This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home with private lake access in a quiet, gated community surrounded by nature. Schedule your showing today and start living the Salt Springs lifestyle!
