About this home
5686 E HIGHWAY 316
Discover a private and peaceful slice of rural Florida on approximately 9 acres along Gooski Prairie in Citra. The expansive prairie creates a sense of seclusion, with wide-open views and generous distance from neighboring homes. After sunset, beautiful night skies provide a stunning backdrop for stargazing. This property features a remodeled 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom tiny home and approximately 2 acres, more or less, of high and dry land. This portion offers potential for building your dream home or bringing an RV. Electricity and a well are on the property, along with a septic tank that is currently unconnected. The remaining acreage extends into the natural prairie, where water levels fluctuate with rainfall and seasonal conditions, creating an ever-changing landscape. Two ponds add to the natural setting, with water levels that also fluctuate. Agricultural zoning offers potential for farming, gardening, and keeping horses or other livestock, subject to county requirements. An unfinished barn offers potential for animal shelter, equipment storage, a workshop, or other uses once completed to suit your needs. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the region’s natural attractions, including Silver Springs, Salt Springs, Juniper Springs, Fern Hammock Springs, Silver Glen Springs, and Alexander Springs. Explore ATV riding on designated trails in the Ocala National Forest, along with hiking, paddling, and hunting opportunities in the Ocala Wildlife Management Area. Whether you envision a country retreat or a home base for outdoor adventures, this property offers a distinctive setting with room to make it your own. The property is not located on the river.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
