The story
Experience your own slice of Yellowstone in the heart of Florida's horse country! Set on 20 beautiful acres in NW Ocala, this thoughtfully updated horse farm combines rustic ranch-style charm with extensive equestrian amenities, all just a short drive from the World Equestrian Center (WEC), Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club, and HITS. Designed with horses and farm operations in mind, the property features an 18-stall center-aisle barn, an additional 7-stall shed row barn, a reworked riding ring, and plenty of storage options for equipment, hay, and supplies. A dedicated barn office provides a convenient space for managing daily operations, while an equipment barn and separate trailer/motor home garage offer additional flexibility for storage and parking. Recent tree removal has opened up the landscape to allow more natural sunlight for pasture growth while preserving beautiful shade trees throughout the property. The farm also offers multiple residential accommodations, including a charming 3-bedroom, 3-bath log home, a fully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath barn apartment, and an updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath mobile home currently occupied by a long-term tenant. The main residence has received numerous updates, including refreshed and varnished interiors, new paint, appliances, A/C ducts, lighting, and a varnished and sealed exterior. Cathedral ceilings and a striking stone fireplace create an inviting interior, while the wraparound porch and deck with hot tub provide relaxing spaces to enjoy views of the surrounding farm. The renovated barn apartment and additional mobile home offer excellent flexibility for guests, farm staff, or potential rental income. Whether you're envisioning a working equestrian operation, a private horse farm, or a peaceful country retreat, this property offers the opportunity to embrace the ranch lifestyle with the convenience of Ocala's premier equestrian destinations nearby!
