The story
Formerly home to Steele Equine Veterinary Services and Performance Horse Center, this 20-acre property in Zolfo Springs, Florida, brings together purpose-built equine veterinary, wellness, rehabilitation and conditioning facilities; specialized equipment; stabling; and on-site residential accommodations. The equine center features a five-horse Kraft saltwater walker, a high-speed equine treadmill, veterinary and surgical suites, dentistry and farrier facilities and multiple barn aisles with standard and oversized stalls, including foaling and run-out accommodations. Outdoor amenities include a six-horse walker, fenced pastures and a dedicated stallion pasture. A bunkhouse provides accommodations for guests, students, apprentices or clients, while a separate three-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home serves as the owner's residence. Developed to support a range of equine health and performance needs, the facility includes designated spaces for veterinary treatment, sports medicine, conditioning, rehabilitation, reproduction, dentistry, podiatry and surgery. Two padded anesthesia rooms with ceiling hoists, surgical preparation and operating rooms, an observation stall, grooming and wash stalls, and dedicated offices support the property's capabilities. The stabling facilities feature multiple stall configurations, sealed mattress systems in most stalls, full-mesh stall fronts, individual water access and fans, and concrete aisles. Additional improvements include covered storage, a shavings pit, an equipment pole barn and designated equine handling areas. The owner's residence is a double-wide manufactured home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and a wood-decked porch. A separate bunk house includes a great room, full kitchen, two bunk rooms with built-in sleeping accommodations, shared bathrooms, a private ensuite bedroom and a covered front porch. The building also has an internal fire sprinkler system installed for its former use as a veterinary camp facility. The property was developed to accommodate veterinary services, equine wellness, conditioning and rehabilitation activities. Specialized installed equipment and designated fixtures are included in the sale, subject to the purchase agreement. Buyers should independently verify equipment condition, operational status and permitted uses.
