Engel & Völkers Florida today announced the significant sale of The Sonoma Farmhouse, located at 1031 SW 131 Street. This milestone transaction, skillfully represented by Anna Olcese of Engel & Völkers Gainesville, is the highest sale in Tioga since 2010, commanding an impressive $1,650,000 and solidifying its place as one of the most notable sales in the area.

"This home is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship,” said Olcese. “With exquisite features it offers a lifestyle of luxury. Meticulously appointed with top-tier amenities, it leaves no detail unattended, making it a unique gem in Tioga."

Olcese represented her clients in their original purchase of the property three years ago. Since then, they meticulously crafted the 4,707 square-foot masterpiece, featuring six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. Nestled on an oversized lot adjacent to community green space and a 5-acre single-family homesite, The Sonoma Farmhouse offers unparalleled seclusion. The grand foyer welcomes with a Cameron Design House custom-made chandelier from London, while the great room seamlessly transitions into the kitchen with Wolf, Miele, and Subzero appliances. The primary suite overlooks a tranquil green space, and dual closets ensure ample wardrobe space. In addition to its luxurious features, the property's resort-style patio, complete with an outdoor kitchen, sparkling pool, gas fire pit, and a charming casita, creates an oasis for relaxation and entertainment.
“Anna’s dedication and expertise have solidified her reputation as a top-producing real estate advisor in north central Florida,” said Carrie Cason, License Partner of Engel & Völkers Gainesville. “Since joining Engel & Völkers Gainesville in 2021, she has consistently delivered exceptional results, earning accolades such as the Diamond Elite and Ruby Elite awards from Engel & Völkers Americas. Her podcast, 'Let's Talk Real Estate,' and her Instagram account '@lifestylebyanna' showcase her commitment to educating listeners and followers about the local and national real estate landscape.”

This achievement is yet another testament to Engel & Völkers Gainesville's track record of excellence since its establishment in 2022. Notable sales highlights include 'Double Barrel Ranch,' located at 1628 SW Mandiba Dr in Lake City, Florida. Cason held the listing and represented the buyer. With a remarkable purchase price of $4,250,000, the sale stands as the most expensive single-family home sold in Columbia County, Florida. Additionally, 'Snooty Fox Farm,' a sprawling thoroughbred horse ranch situated on NW County Rd 239 in Alachua, Florida, contributed to this record of success. The 341-acre property was also represented by Cason and achieved a notable $5,000,000 price tag, making it the most expensive equestrian property in Alachua County.

"The once rural Town of Tioga has transformed into an upscale destination within the greater Gainesville area,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “Our franchisee, Carrie, has cultivated an environment where top performers like Anna can thrive at what they do best—selling luxury real estate.”
