Experience the essence of Ocala horse country at this exceptional 17+ acre equestrian estate, ideally positioned just minutes from the World Equestrian Center (WEC) and HITS. Blending refined country living with thoughtfully designed equestrian amenities, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect setting for the competitive rider, professional trainer, or anyone seeking the tranquility and beauty of a private horse farm. At the heart of the estate is an impressive 16-stall equestrian facility, featuring a 13-stall center-aisle barn complemented by an additional 3-stall shed row barn. Designed with both functionality and flexibility in mind, the barn offers matted stalls with movable walls, automatic waterers, hot water, and a new $25,000 electrical upgrade. Six half-acre cross-fenced paddocks provide generous turnout space, while the expansive grass field presents endless opportunities to create a custom jump field, dressage arena, or private riding track. With three RV hookup stations, the property is equally suited for hosting trainers, guests, or seasonal competitors. The property has also been successfully rented to tenants in the equestrian industry, offering proven income-producing potential and flexibility for owners looking to offset expenses or generate additional revenue. The beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence serves as a peaceful retreat, filled with natural light and surrounded by picturesque views of the farm. Inside, inviting living spaces and a cozy wood-burning fireplace create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, while the effortless indoor-outdoor flow makes entertaining easy. Outside, unwind by the screened, resurfaced pool, where you can relax and take in the quiet beauty of your surroundings after a day at the barn. Thoughtfully maintained and extensively improved, the estate offers exceptional value and peace of mind. Recent updates include all new appliances (2024), a new pool pump and heater (2024), fresh interior and exterior paint (2025), new fencing, a brand-new limestone driveway, and 400 newly planted privacy hedges (2025). Additional infrastructure enhancements, including a roof replacement (2019), new well pump (2020), updated barn electrical, generator hookup, and three separate electric meters servicing the home, barn, and front gate, ensure the property is as practical as it is beautiful. Whether envisioned as a private family farm, an elite seasonal show base, a boutique training operation, or an income-producing equestrian retreat, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to embrace the very best of Ocala's world-renowned equestrian lifestyle. Bring your horses, bring your vision, and make this exceptional estate your own.
