I live in Ocala. You rode around the SW part of Marion county which is all rural. There are no water lines, but well water. There are no gas lines, and sewers are sceptic tanks. It's far from any stores, medical facilities, and fire houses. Houses are on fairly good size lots, peaceful, quite and clean. Low crime, but it would take the sheriff deputies time to get out there, if needed. Beautiful, but not everyone wants to live in isolation.
