With nearly one-third of an acre, your pets will have plenty of room to run and play safely within the privacy of your own fenced yard. Opportunities to lease a brand-new home with this much fenced outdoor space are exceptionally RARE. * Adding to the outdoor appeal is a covered lanai overlooking the backyard, providing the perfect spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining, weekend barbecues, or simply relaxing while keeping an eye on children and pets. The combination of a covered lanai, oversized corner lot, and fully fenced backyard creates an outdoor living experience rarely found in rental properties. * Inside, you'll love the open-concept layout featuring a spacious family room, dining area, and beautifully designed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large center island. Ceramic tile flooring extends throughout the main living areas, creating a clean, modern look that's both attractive and easy to maintain. * The split-bedroom design provides privacy for the primary suite, which features a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and private en-suite bathroom. Three additional bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for family members or guests, while the front flex room provides the option of a 5-bedroom setup. * Additional features include an indoor laundry room with washer and dryer, attached two-car garage, energy-efficient new construction, and modern finishes throughout. * Conveniently located in Marion Oaks, you'll enjoy quick access to shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, parks, and everyday conveniences. Commuters will appreciate the short drive to State Road 484 and the Marion Oaks I-75 interchange, providing easy access to Ocala, The Villages, Gainesville, and surrounding areas. * This home is zoned for the brand-new South Marion High School, a state-of-the-art campus opening for the 2026-2027 school year. Costing more than $150 million to build and designed to serve over 2,000 students, the new school represents a major investment in the future of the community and is expected to become one of Marion County's premier educational facilities. * RARE OPPORTUNITY to lease a brand-new home featuring NO HOA, a fully fenced backyard, covered lanai, oversized corner lot, flexible 4-bedroom-plus-office layout, pet-friendly outdoor space, and one of the most family-friendly rental opportunities currently available in SW Ocala.

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.
