A Rare Equestrian Estate in the Heart of Florida Horse Country with possible owner financing to qualified buyer! Welcome to one of the most beautiful 20-acre equestrian estates in Marion County—an extraordinary property where luxury living meets impeccable equine facilities, all nestled beneath a canopy of grand oaks and soaring pecan trees. With a stunning main residence, charming guest cottage, pristine 6-stall barn, and a host of amenities, this premier estate is an exceptional offering for the discerning equestrian enthusiast. Upon entering through one of three gated entrances, a full-length concrete drive gracefully guides you past manicured paddocks toward the main residence. Each of the nine paddocks is thoughtfully appointed with automatic waterers, double run-in sheds with integrated hay racks, and security lighting—offering both function and form for optimal horse care and safety. The 6-stall concrete-block shed-row barn along with nearby round pen and a 4-horse hot walker create a turnkey environment for equine training and activities. Wide riding lanes throughout the property allow for ease of movement and year-round riding access. The main residence exudes timeless sophistication, offering over 2,000 square feet of refined living space complemented by expansive outdoor verandas that invite relaxation and panoramic views. The drive leads to two attached garages: a 40’ x 45’ RV-ready structure with 14’ ceilings and oversized doors—ideal for housing a motorhome, boat, or car collection—and a second, oversized 4-car garage with direct access to the gourmet kitchen. Inside, the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for entertaining, with exquisite granite countertops, high-end cabinetry, a spacious island with seating and storage, designer tilework, and a built-in desk nook for seamless everyday functionality. Adjacent living spaces feature rich wood floors, a fireplace, French doors, and elegant architectural details that create a warm yet elevated ambiance. The wraparound veranda offers a tranquil setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or hosting al fresco dinners with views of green pastures and grazing horses. The private master suite is a sanctuary of comfort and luxury, complete with tray ceiling, crown molding, a generous walk-in closet, and spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring a jetted tub, glass-enclosed shower, dual vanities, bidet, and dedicated laundry hookups for added convenience. Two additional bedrooms, each with lighted walk-in closets and serene views, share a beautifully tiled full bath. Located on the far side of the estate is a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage—perfect for extended family, staff, or guests. This 16’ x 40’ modular home features an open-concept living space, full kitchen, and private patio surrounded by manicured hedges, as well as its own gated entrance for privacy and independence. Additional highlights include two versatile storage sheds, a concrete pad with full RV hookup, and two private wells. Positioned less than 20 minutes to the World Equestrian Center, 10 minutes to HITS, and 5 minutes to the dining and shopping of Williston, this estate offers a perfect balance of seclusion & accessibility. This is not just a property—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re a competitive or casual rider, or simply seeking a refined country retreat, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to own one of Florida’s most thoughtfully developed equestrian properties.
