Welcome to the crown jewel of Ocala, a luxurious 87-acre equine estate that borders the pristine Florida Greenways and Trail. This expansive property offers an unparalleled blend of modern luxury and equestrian elegance, designed for those who appreciate the finest in life. The main estate, spanning approximately 10,000 square feet over two stories, features eight spacious bedrooms, including a separate caretaker's quarters, ensuring comfort and privacy for all residents. The home received a new roof and exterior paint in 2020, adding to its well-maintained allure. As you step into the grand foyer, you are greeted by dramatic 20-foot ceilings and an elegant winding staircase, one of three wood staircases with hardwood treads that add warmth and character throughout the home. The estate is built for both relaxation and entertainment. The gourmet gathering kitchen is perfect for hosting, and the oversized dining room can accommodate large gatherings with ease. The entertainment area is designed for leisurely enjoyment, making it an ideal space for spending time with family and friends. Adjacent to the main residence is a 1,200-square-foot Game House, providing additional space for recreation and entertainment. A lighted pickleball court, train station with animated track, carousel, and basketball court are a few of the highlights of the estate. Additionally, five fully furnished cottages are thoughtfully designed to match the estate's luxury, offering guests their own private retreat. The property's resort-style amenities are equally impressive. On the west side of the residence, you'll find a newly constructed rectangular in-ground pool with a jacuzzi, submerged lounge areas, swim-outs, and LED lighting—perfect for relaxing and enjoying sunsets. A cabana, complete with a summer kitchen and full bath, adds convenience and luxury to the outdoor living space. For the equestrian enthusiast, this estate is a dream come true. The property features a 30,000-square-foot covered riding arena, constructed of steel with canvas curtains between supports. The arena's floor system includes a clay base with a sand overlay, offering an ideal surface for training and riding. Additionally, the estate includes a ranch office, a manager's home, and three barns with ample stalls. The grounds also feature 15 paddocks, a polo field, and a helicopter pad, making it a true equine resort. The property is surrounded by miles of emerald, green pastures and large oak trees, showcasing the natural beauty that Marion County is renowned for in the horse capital of the world. Masterfully designed by Taylor Hannah Architect, this estate is the epitome of modern luxury meeting equestrian elegance. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or a place to entertain on a grand scale, this property offers it all.
