Property Description

Nestled on 27-acres of gently-rolling countryside in Marion County's renowned horse country, this well appointed horse farm offers the space, functionality, and flexibility that equestrians have been looking for! Set just 12 minutes from HITS and 20 minutes from the World Equestrian Center (WEC), this farm is an ideal option for those looking to experience the area's exciting competition and show options. Fenced and gated with board and cross fencing, the property features a long, winding driveway that passes multiple picturesque paddocks and pastures dotted by mature oaks as it leads towards the main areas of the farm. Two residences are established on the property- a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home and an additional farm manager or guest home, ideal for those looking for long-term guests, seasonal rental income, or additional help on the farm. The main home offers approximately 2,410 square feet of living space and features a split-bedroom layout with vaulted ceilings that enhance the open feel of the living areas. Tile flooring runs throughout the main spaces, and the kitchen includes a full appliance package with range, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and a spacious bath, while sliding doors lead to a screened rear porch that overlooks the surrounding pastures and farm setting. A total of five 16x16' stalls are established on-property, each of which are like individual mini-barns with its own walled, covered structure that features water access, gates, and are fully lined with red clay and topped with bedding shavings. Each paddock includes water and misting systems for added comfort, and there are additional gated catch/feed pens as well as covered run-in sheds in the larger back pastures. A fully contained concrete barn structure with clean area for vets is also in place, complete with utility sink, hot and cold water station, electrical, and excellent lighting and fans. An additional round-pen is also in place for added training options, and there is plenty of open land that could be further developed for use as an arena, additional paddocks, or a site for a formal barn if desired. Feed, hay, and supplies are fully contained within a protected covered barn structure next to the workshop area for added ease. The workshop / garage is a tall structure that features a total of 3 bays with secure roll-top doors, ideal for both heavy and small equipment or tools. The workshop is well ventilated with excellent lighting, and includes water and electric (220 amp panel). The abundant open space and park-like setting of this farm offers stunning views and a quiet rural atmosphere while remaining convenient to Ocala's variety of venues, everyday amenities, and equestrian-focused services. With plenty of flexibility for multiple disciplines and a thoughtful layout, this farm is a true must-see!
