It's not so much "God's Waiting Room" as redneck country. I have a small (3-acre) mini-farm in the Blitchton area, about 15 miles NW of Ocala, and my wife and I love it here. We're no longer breeding thoroughbreds, but we still have a QH mare and a mini. Have you got your sights set on any particular property yet? I can tell you that there are many farms for sale right now, but property values are beginning to come back a little, so I might not wait too long if I were you.
