Property Description

A RARE OCALA FARM WHERE LOCATION, LIFESTYLE AND VALUE COME TOGETHER! Set on more than 14 beautifully established acres with LUSH grass, this versatile equestrian retreat offers two residences, a screened pool, private office, two barns and an exceptional location less than one mile from the Florida Horse Park and nearby trailhead. Ride at home, explore miles of nearby trails, or reach the World Equestrian Center, downtown Ocala and The Villages in approximately 20 minutes, with convenient access to I-75. The property is thoughtfully designed for both horses and everyday enjoyment, featuring five fenced paddocks, serene bridle paths under oak trees and a separate grass dressage-size arena. A 60-by-30-foot pole barn provides five stalls, feed storage and tractor space, while a second two-stall stable offers auto waters, electric and an expansive concrete area ideal for grooming, washing and additional storage. The spacious main residence features an open, split-bedroom floor plan with two primary suites, each offering a private bath and walk-in closet. The kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, wood cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, opening to an inviting great room and dining area. Disappearing sliding doors create an effortless connection to the covered lanai and screened, solar-heated pool with waterfall—the perfect setting for relaxed afternoons and sunset gatherings overlooking the farm. Adding tremendous flexibility is the recently renovated three-bedroom, one-bath guest home, known as The Lone Pine Lodge, ideal for multigenerational living, guests, farm staff or continued rental income. A separate 30-by-12-foot office with full utilities makes working from home especially convenient, while dual HVAC systems, dual water-heating systems, two wells and additional storage enhance the property’s practicality. With no HOA, room to expand and A-1 zoning, this is a property that allows you to live the Ocala equestrian lifestyle on your own terms. Its Future Land Use designation may also provide meaningful long-term possibilities, but the true value is what already exists today: acreage, privacy, income potential, outstanding equestrian amenities and an almost impossible-to-replicate location in the Horse Capital of the World.
