Exceptional equestrian living meets classic Southern architecture on this beautifully maintained 16.23-acre farm in the sought-after Winners Turf community. A gated entrance and long tree-lined paved driveway passes open pastures and sets the tone of the property from the second you enter. Thoughtfully designed for both horses and their owners, the property features three fully fenced and cross-fenced paddocks with shaded areas as well as a round pen, creating an ideal setup for daily turnout and training. The land is nicely flat, ideal for a variety of equestrian disciplines with lots of opportunity to further divide the larger pasture into smaller paddocks or to establish an arena. The center-aisle horse barn is designed for both functionality and convenience, offering three stalls, dedicated tack and feed storage. Water is set-up throughout the barn, paddocks, and even the chicken coop! At the heart of the property is a stately Southern-inspired residence offering 3,489 square feet with 4-bedrooms and 4-baths. The front of the home features a grand columned front porch and entryway accented by mature landscaping, perfect for rocking chairs and taking in the views of the surrounding farm. Inside, the home is light and bright with soaring ceilings, rich wood flooring, and an open-concept design that blends everyday comfort with effortless entertaining. The spacious kitchen showcases abundant storage space with wood cabinetry, generous prep space, stainless steel appliances, center island, and a breakfast nook overlooking the surrounding pastures. The first-floor primary suite, along with an additional main-level bedroom and full bath, offers the convenience of single-level living, while the second floor features two additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a loft overlooking the great room below. After a day in the saddle, unwind beside the screened, solar-heated pool and expansive deck while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Dedicated solar panels efficiently heat the pool, helping extend your swimming season and maximize outdoor enjoyment. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, the property reflects exceptional pride of ownership with numerous recent improvements, including a repaved driveway, new water softener, refreshed fencing, updated rock landscaping, and a freshly painted pool deck. Located within Winners Turf, this property offers access to miles of scenic bridle trails for hacking out and conditioning rides right from home, while remaining just a short drive to the World Equestrian Center, HITS Ocala, the Florida Horse Park, and other premier equestrian destinations for competitions, clinics, training, and spectating throughout the year.
