The red brick house at 2411 SE 27th Street was built in 1994 at the end of a cul-de-sac in Forrest Park Estates, on a half-acre corner lot with no rear neighbors. It carries four bedrooms, three baths and a reported 3,886 square feet, and its September 16 closing was one of five reported home sales in the Ocala, Florida metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026, together worth $3.48 million.
Four of the week’s closings were in Ocala and the fifth in Umatilla, where a 1.65-acre property sold with both a primary home and a detached guest house. Land was a thread through the list: that parcel, a 1.7-acre tract in southeast Ocala and two combined lots totaling 4.70 acres all traded this week. The oldest two houses date to 1983; the newest, in Candler Hills West Ashford, was finished in 2023.

A climate-controlled Florida room overlooks the screened pool and a fenced backyard.

No. 2 — $724,000 · 6800 SW 18th Terrace Road, Ocala, Florida
The September 15, 2026 closing at 6800 SW 18th Terrace Road brought $724,000 for a 1983 house set on two combined lots totaling 4.70 acres. Roughly half the land is manicured and the remainder is wooded, and the whole property is fenced with two gates, among them a dual-motor automated main gate. It previously changed hands for $680,000 in 2024.
The four-bedroom, three-bath house carries a reported 3,216 square feet in a split-bedroom plan, with the primary suite on one side and two bedrooms and a full bath on the other. The primary bedroom opens onto a private covered deck and its custom walk-in closet measures 6 by 16 feet, while a 37-by-11-foot air-conditioned lanai, walled in windows, faces the pool.
The house and its garages are built entirely of solid concrete block: two double attached garages, each sized for two cars, and a detached three-door building measuring 33 by 33 feet, tall enough for an RV or a car lift. The pool has been refurbished with a three-coat epoxy finish and fitted with a new automatic cleaner, chlorine feeder and pump, and the roof is seven years old.

A pool and spa about a year old anchor the back of the property, with a fire feature and a full screen enclosure.

A gated property on 1.7 acres at 5085 SE 38th Street closed on September 17, 2026, for $640,000. The 2002 house holds four bedrooms, four baths and a reported 3,844 square feet, approached by a circular driveway with a detached garage set apart from the house. Listing materials describe the parcel as agriculturally zoned and just outside the city limits, with no homeowners association, and place it in the Forest, Osceola and Maplewood school districts.
