About This Home

EXCEPTIONAL EQUESTRIAN ESTATE Positioned directly across from the renowned World Equestrian Center in the heart of Ocala, Florida — the Horse Capital of the World — this extraordinary estate represents a rare opportunity to own a world-class equestrian property at the epicenter of the sport. Equestrian Facilities The barn and riding arena were custom built in 2025 by Jim Ballinger of M&W Building Solutions, reflecting the highest standards of craftsmanship and equestrian design. Constructed of solid cinderblock with a double-insulated roof and French drain gutters, the barn is engineered to handle Florida's heavy rainfall while keeping the interior dry and comfortable year-round. The professional-grade barn features 12 spacious 12' x 14' stalls, each equipped with individual fans, fly spray systems, and automatic waterers. Three cupolas and large industrial overhead fans ensure exceptional airflow throughout. Yoke windows along the aisle and exterior shuttered windows flood the space with natural light while maintaining a classic equestrian aesthetic. Two roll-up end doors and a euro-style slide entrance add everyday convenience for equipment, hay delivery, and vehicle access. The barn is further appointed with two interior wash racks with hot and cold water, a tack room, feed room, laundry room, bathroom, and kitchenette. Riding Arena & Paddocks The impressive 150' x 250' all-weather riding arena features a full irrigation system and concrete curb, providing premier footing year-round. Two interconnected water wells — including a dedicated 5 HP well powering arena irrigation — ensure a reliable water supply at all times. Seven irrigated paddocks, freshly reseeded and fully fenced with hot-wired fence boards, offer safe, lush turnout for your entire herd. Residential Accommodations The main residence offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, completely remodeled in 2025 — professionally decorated and furnished by an interior designer with all new appliances — delivering generous spaces for everyday comfort and entertaining. Bedroom views overlooking the barn, arena, and paddocks offer a truly immersive equestrian living experience. Beautifully appointed patio areas extend living space outdoors, perfect for relaxing while taking in the serene surroundings. A newly installed gated entrance and paved parking area offer security and a polished first impression. Multiple dwelling units provide flexibility — ideal for guest quarters, staff housing, multigenerational living, or income-producing opportunities. Expansion Opportunity Favorable zoning presents exciting possibilities — including the ability to build an additional residence, plus dedicated structures for hay storage and equipment. Whether expanding the operation or creating a multigenerational compound, the groundwork is already in place. Location At the heart of Ocala's premier equestrian corridor, this estate places you steps from the World Equestrian Center — whether you're an active competitor, dedicated breeder, or someone who appreciates the finest in equestrian living, this location puts you at the center of it all.
