Idyllic Loft Style Experience

Enjoy open spaces, country stylings, modern touches, comfortable amenities, and breathtaking views of grand oaks and horse farms. This 1700 square foot space with 16 foot ceilings is the creative vision of a working musician/builder, and a world champion dancer. A studio and a living space, you can choose to just stay and absorb the calm, or take advantage of all of the outdoor activities Ocala has to offer. Pool, hottub and great location near Santos Trail & Florida Horse Park. The space We're situated on a 3 acre property in the heart of Ocala's horse country. A generally upscale area, with beautiful mature grandaddy oaks draped in mesmerizing Spanish moss surround us. The barn has been lovingly developed into a dance and music studio. Katie as a world-renowned dancer, and John as a lifelong guitarist, the studio has been a passion project for us. We still call it a "barn", but in reality, it is anything but, as the photos show. Our concepts for this space were to create a light and airy atmosphere, maximizing the abundant natural light, whilst also creating a coziness, with the New York loft styling of the sleeping and upper lounging areas. Spanning almost 1700 square feet, with 3 separate sitting and living areas, it comfortably accommodates guests and provides different atmospheres both day and night to cater to your every mood. Full AC and heating from the 4 independent head split system will keep you comfortable any time of year. On demand instant and endless hot water too. Whilst the property can readily accommodate more people, we're inclined to limit this space to a two-person environment, though we're happy to consider requests. The Barn has a large, covered wooden deck with seating. A perfect place to enjoy the winter sun, or late afternoon breezes in the warmer months. We also have two fully equipped horse stalls and a new tack room, that we can make available upon request. A large paddock adjoins the stalls. Guest access The whole of the studio/barn space is available to guests, with the exception of the adjoining workshop, the storage room, and the attic spaces. Cars can be parked directly in front of the barn for easy ingress and egress. The grounds to the rear and sides are also available to the guests, comprising some 2 acres. Other things to note Whilst the barn will be exclusively for your use, as will much of the areas around it, we do live here with our cat (Kitty-Kit), and our young dog Spike, who is a St Berdoodle (a standard poodle and St Bernard cross). We adjoin 2 horse farm properties, so you will see lots of horses, and even donkeys, mini horses and lots of friendly dogs.
