The story
**$20,000 BUYER INCENTIVE!** Seller offering $20,000 toward buyer's closing costs with an acceptable contract executed by November 15, 2026! Welcome to Serenity Farm, a turnkey 6.95-acre horse farm where two residences and a newly constructed center-aisle barn come together in one thoughtfully designed property. The pace slows the moment you pass through the gated entrance. A winding drive beneath a canopy of mature trees leads you home, revealing a picturesque horse farm that's perfectly sized to enjoy the equestrian lifestyle without the demands of a large estate. Located in Marion County's coveted Farmland Preservation Area, Serenity Farm is surrounded by renowned horse farms and generationally owned farmland, preserving the peaceful beauty that makes Northwest Marion County one of Florida's most sought-after equestrian communities. Enjoy the tranquility of country living while being just 15 minutes from HITS Ocala and 30 minutes from the World Equestrian Center, placing you close to two of the nation's premier equestrian venues. At the heart of the property is a 1,460-square-foot home filled with the warmth and character of Old Florida. The thoughtful update throughout, including a brand new kitchen has preserved its unique personality, offering a refreshing alternative to today's cookie-cutter homes. Perfectly situated to overlook the pastures, the stunning Florida room creates the perfect place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day while taking in the peaceful views. Covered porches on both sides of the home provide even more inviting spaces to relax beneath the shade of magnificent, centuries-old live oaks and enjoy the tranquil setting. Positioned on its own private area of the property, the pristine 920-square-foot mobile home offers exceptional flexibility while maintaining privacy from the main residence. It features an expansive covered porch overlooking the pastures and its own private fenced yard, making it ideal for extended family, guests, a farm manager, or potential rental income. Perfectly situated between the two homes is the centerpiece of the farm—a newly constructed six-stall center-aisle barn built on concrete footings for lasting quality. Multiple stalls feature double doors for easy turnout, while a dedicated tack room, feed room, and equipment storage room provide practical convenience. In the upper paddock, an additional two-stall run-in shelter offers horses protection from the elements while adding flexibility for turnout and pasture management. The farm is double fenced and perimeter fenced with brand-new 5-foot no climb with top board and thoughtfully divided into four spacious paddocks with lush green pasture, creating a turnkey setup that's ready for horses from day one. Whether you're purchasing your first horse farm, downsizing to a more manageable property, or simply looking for a peaceful place to call home, Serenity Farm is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed farm in the heart of Florida's premier horse country.
