Real Estate
– Waterfront, Gulf Access, Ranch-Style, You Pick!
We have relatively affordable real estate prices attracting
retirees and those relocating to our state.
Our direct toll-road access to
Tampa, a family-friendly “Old Florida” lifestyle, and
our
“Nature Coast” setting
contribute to make a phenomenal lifestyle that cannot be imagined until
you are here.
Orlando
is under 90 miles, Gainesville (home of the University of
Florida) and Ocala (with its rolling hills and more horse
farms) are close by. It’s no wonder we are becoming the next “garden
spot” in Florida!
Not to be underrated is the Suncoast Parkway, which
ends at Crystal River, giving us a no-stop-light direct 70 mph drive
smack into Tampa International Airport and empties at Raymond James
Stadium (home of the
NFL football Buccaneers) in downtown Tampa , as well
as at 2 premier shopping malls. Even folks in other parts of Florida
are considering moving here due to our lower real estate prices and cost
of living.

Stats
Citrus County Average Home Price as of 2007 is $192,000. This may be
slightly misleading. Although the higher end homes now start in the high
200s and 300s, that our county is below the national average, much less
the Florida average. There are also plenty of homes available in the mid
$100s.

Life
on the Water:
An incredible life in a waterfront home with deep water gulf
access waterways is unaffordable to many in any other area of Florida.
Imagine owning a pontoon boat to entertain family and friends, a
cruiser, fishing boat, or a small yacht to take to the Keys on the
weekend. Go to the grocery store, or out for dinner, on your boat
instead of your car!

Pine Ridge Estates:

acres. Equine center has stables, dressage, western, and jumper rings
to complement a main horse ring. This is a “cool community” with laid
back residents of all ages.

“Even when I am busy with my business, it
feels like I’m on vacation living here in Florida and
Citrus County.”
Debbie Rector
(with Chance) is a great realtor because she is a great
listener. She’s originally from Hanover, MA. She is busy, but not in
a hurry. Debbie makes time for you when you need her. And she knows
Citrus County intimately. You can feel comfortable with Debbie
and trust her with the important task of finding your
ideal house.
From
the Cape Cod area, Debbie moved to Florida to help her mother run a
clothing company. After her mom passed away, she sold the company.
Debbie and her husband Don, have been in our area for 14 years. They have
no kids but 2 dogs, Ruby and Bull, and 6 horses. Debbie is a very
active horseperson and attends and competes in shows/competitions. She
points to the many quaint townships in our area and the abundance of
outdoor activities, golfing, and fishing, as examples of what makes
Citrus County charming. Debbie’s favorite time of the year is winter,
when the mornings are crisp, but it warms up into the 70s in the
afternoon with little humidity.
