Virtually Staged. One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Close to everything, far enough away for the peace and quiet. Tucked behind a private gate on five fully fenced acres, this farmhouse-style retreat in DeLand is the rare property that delivers space, privacy, and a true homesteading lifestyle without giving up convenience. An active, irrigated fernery and agricultural designation set the tone the moment you pass the gate. Inside, the main home blends rustic warmth with modern updates completed over the last three years. The kitchen is built for people who love to cook and gather: walnut-stained cabinetry, a wall-to-wall pantry, quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, an apron farmhouse sink, and GE Caf appliances, all anchored by a custom 12-foot black walnut dining table made for long dinners and game nights. The spacious great room flows out to a screened deck and a sparkling pool with its own poolside bath, outdoor shower, and bar overlooking the ferns. Upstairs, a light-filled loft with a full bath and brand-new flooring flexes easily into a guest suite, studio, game room, or home gym. Room for the whole family, and then some. A separate apartment with a partial kitchen, bath, and laundry creates a private, comfortable space for parents, adult children, long-term guests, or rental income, with its own footprint apart from the main home. A dedicated office makes working from home effortless. Outbuildings, a large garage, and covered parking swallow every vehicle, trailer, and toy, and a golf-cart path loops the property. Gather fresh eggs from the chickens in the morning and watch the sun drop over your own land at night. The location truly can't be beat. McGregor Road is a scenic drive of estate-style homes on acreage with established neighbors and a quiet country feel, yet you're just minutes from shopping, restaurants, AdventHealth, historic downtown DeLand, Stetson University, the DeLand SunRail station, and major highways. Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, the St. Johns River, Lake Beresford Park, Hontoon Island State Park, and Orlando are all within easy reach. Private homestead, multigenerational compound, or serene country escape, this one delivers. Schedule your private tour today.
