Description

Ideally placed within NW Marion County's storied horse country, this unique 20+ acre farm is designed with both horse and rider in mind. Enter through one of three gated entrances and follow the full-length concrete drive through a park-like setting shaded by grand oaks and pecan trees. To the south of the farm you can enjoy the sight of thoroughbreds on the training track, with dressage and jumpers alike training across the street- underscoring the property's appeal for a wide range of equestrian disciplines. The farm is well-equipped with 7 fenced and cross-fenced paddocks, automatic waterers, and run-in sheds, offering an efficient layout for daily horse care. A 6-stall concrete-block barn with feed room and tack room anchors the equestrian facilities, complemented by a round pen, hot walker, and wide riding lanes that allow for year-round training and easy access throughout the property. Additional storage buildings, irrigation systems, and established landscaping further enhance the functionality and flexibility of the farm. The main residence, built in 2005, offers over 2,000 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in a split-bedroom floor plan. Inside, high ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, and a fireplace create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, an island workspace, and an adjacent dining area. French doors and multiple living spaces open to expansive covered porches, providing seamless indoor-outdoor living and sweeping views of the surrounding pastures. Directly attached to the residence is a comprehensive RV-ready garage with high ceilings and oversized doors, as well as a separate 4-car garage with integrated workshop space that is ideal for large vehicles, equipment, or hobby use. A well-maintained secondary 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest cottage is also established on the property, offering flexible accommodations for guests, staff, or even potential seasonal rental income. Conveniently located just minutes from Williston and within easy reach of Ocala's extensive tack and feed options, equine service providers, and world-class veterinary care. HITS is located just 6 miles away, while the World Equestrian Center (WEC) is a scenic 25 minute drive from the farm. This property offers a rare combination of functionality, space, and natural beauty- well-suited for equestrian pursuits or a private country retreat!
