Ocala, located in north central Florida’s “horse country,” offers visitors and residents winding community pathways lined with oak trees and dangling trellises of Spanish moss, as well as miles of untainted nature. If canoeing down a crystal-clear stream in the world’s largest sand pine forest, cooling off in crystal clear springs, zip lining through the trees, exploring endless trails at your own pace, and treating yourself to meals, nights, and memories you’ll be talking about for years sounds appealing, then Ocala and surrounding Marion County are more than worth your time. Ocala and the surrounding area’s freshwater streams, rolling hills, and clean air have remained untouched and have been used in Hollywood films. Silver Springs, a 350-acre national landmark and nature theme park, is close to Ocala. Silver Springs is the “original attraction” in Florida. Ocala real estate includes single-family homes, golf communities, luxury homes, horse farms, and waterfront properties. Ocala is known for its welcoming atmosphere and high quality of life, making it an ideal location for families.
