Under contract-accepting backup offers. Resting amongst established horse farms within the equestrian neighborhood of Winding Oaks at the heart of Central Florida’s vibrant horse country, this 16.5+ acre farm is an immaculately maintained option for active equestrians! Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property has been lovingly maintained and is fully fenced and gated for added privacy. A long drive runs past lush paddocks, which are well-maintained with board and no-climb/board fencing. At the heart of the acreage is the stunning residence, which is surrounded by professional landscaping and accented by a covered front patio entry way. Light and bright, the home offers a total of 4-bedrooms and 3-baths with tall cathedral ceilings throughout the main spaces, abundant natural light from large windows, and hardwood flooring throughout. The main living space is warm and welcoming, with a cozy wood-burning fireplace for cooler winter nights, a recessed area with overhead lighting for your entertainment system, and a wet bar that comes equipped with a built-in sink, wine rack, and beverage cooler. Perfect for those who love spending time trying out new recipes, the kitchen is a well-designed space that comes fully equipped with expansive countertops, extensive cabinet storage, tiled back splash, top-of-the-line Kitchen Aid stainless appliances, a gas cook-top, additional pantry, and large breakfast bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy breakfast nook for informal meals, while a more formal dining room is placed to the front of the home for more formal dinners. All bedrooms are nicely spacious, but the master suite is especially notable with a large layout, private entry to the back patio, private wet bar, and a large en-suite with garden tub, dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet with shelving system. Perfect for entertaining guests or simply enjoying the Florida sunshine, the back of the home features a huge screen-enclosed pool area. A large covered area in the patio features plenty of space for shaded seating and a large summer kitchen that includes a sink, grill, and added storage. Outside of the covered area is a sparkling in-ground pool with hot tub and stunning views of the surrounding farm. For equestrians the farm features a lovely open air center-aisle barn with a total of 9 stalls, feed and tack rooms, and wash rack. An additional barn apartment is also in-place, which offers a full bathroom and could be used for a barn office if desired. l Seven paddocks are in-place throughout the property, offering ample space for horses to graze and train in peace. Two additional metal buildings are also established, providing additional space for large and small equipment storage– or even a ton of space for car enthusiasts looking for a workshop. Conveniently located between both Ocala and Gainesville’s variety of shopping, dining, event, and medical options, this attractive farm is also just a short drive from HITS, World Equestrian Center, and trail riding opportunities at the Goethe State Forest. If you’re looking for a meticulously maintained horse farm that has it all, look no further!
