Designed from the ground up around the horses, this exceptional 36-acre farm in Northwest Marion County’s coveted Farm Preservation Area reflects thoughtful planning and purpose-built development. This is not a property that was later adapted for equestrian use—every element was intentionally positioned to support the horses’ comfort, safety and daily care while creating an efficiency & a beautiful environment. The six-stall center-aisle barn features approximately 12' x 12' stalls with automatic waterers, individual fans, a fly-spray system, rubber matting and handsome tongue-and-groove pine finishes. Black wrought-iron sliding doors allow select stalls to be combined for broodmares or horses needing additional space. An air-conditioned tack room, indoor grooming station and two wash racks with hot and cold water make year-round care. The farm’s equestrian infrastructure includes a fully draining ebb and flow, irrigated GGT/fiber arena; a six-horse hot walker with cushioned footing; five run-in sheds; water throughout; and a private riding trail encircling the property. The adaptable gate system allows paddocks to be enlarged or divided as needs change—all within a fully fenced setting. 2 bedroom 2 bath residence is integrated with the barn for convenient farm living for both seasonal or annual occupants. It offers landscaped surroundings, an outdoor shower, whole-house water treatment and a full-property Generac generator. Outside, a saltwater pool, spacious deck and firepit overlook the peaceful farm setting, while an aerated pond with fountain completes the view. Additional improvements include two 50-amp RV hookups with water and septic, two wells, buried propane, gas and diesel storage, a storage building with farmhand quarters, a fire-sprinkler system, and a gated entrance with attractive columns. With no HOA and convenient access to Highway 27, I-75, the World Equestrian Center and HITS, this farm offers a rare combination of thoughtful horse-centered design, modern infrastructure and relaxed Ocala-area living.
