Farms/Ranches: MLS #OM731664

Exceptional opportunity to acquire an established 86.7-acre equestrian and training facility in the heart of Northwest Marion County's renowned horse country. Conveniently located near the 225A corridor, I-75, the World Equestrian Center and HITS, this thoughtfully designed farm has the infrastructure, privacy and versatility needed for a professional training, pinhooking or breeding operation. Three high-ceiling concrete-block barns provide a total of 78 generously sized 12-by-12 stalls. The facilities include a 16-stall center-aisle mare barn, a 30-stall training barn with a one-bedroom/one-bath apartment, office and tack rooms, and a separate 32-stall training barn with three tack rooms. Additional equestrian improvements include a large European-style horse walker, three round pens and 16 paddocks. Positioned on the highest point of the farm, the irrigated 5/8-mile dirt training track is approximately 50 feet wide and was designed for excellent drainage. Its limerock base supports a level surface with excellent cushion, while PVC safety rails line the track. A dedicated irrigation well, four-horse starting gate and track-conditioning machine further enhance this professional training setup. The farm's productive pastures feature quality grass, favorable soil conditions and minimal sandy ground, making the property especially well suited for breeding, raising young horses and pinhooking. Four wells, underground utilities, high-speed fiber internet and paved driveways throughout the farm support efficient daily operations. A substantial buffer extending approximately 2,500 feet along the western property line provides added separation and serves as an effective natural windbreak. A 30-by-40-foot shop offers ample room for machinery, equipment, workshop activities and storage. Magnificent granddaddy oaks are found throughout the property, providing abundant shade and creating a classic Marion County farm setting. Privately positioned toward the rear of the property, the three-bedroom, three-bath pool home features vaulted ceilings, a brick wood-burning fireplace and a spacious kitchen with built-in double ovens and an induction cooktop. The primary suite includes a private bath with a soaking tub, dual sinks and separate shower. A large heated in-ground pool and wooded backyard provide a peaceful retreat after a day at the farm. With its substantial acreage, professional track, 78-stall capacity, quality pastures and extensive supporting infrastructure, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey equestrian facility in one of Florida's most desirable horse-farm locations.
