Property Description

The pace seems to slow as you turn into the drive, where 13.62 acres unfold beneath the open sky, horses graze in prime pasture, and an exceptional equestrian setting takes shape around a fully outfitted 11-stall barn and a timeless 2006 home with its long rocking-chair front porch! The home's fully fenced yard is dotted with fruit trees (lemon, tangerine, banana, and peach), adding to the serene atmosphere. The 2,044 sq ft home showcases an open floor plan, fresh paint from 2025, and durable laminate flooring throughout both levels. The sunlit living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and a large island kitchen with striking cabinetry and new stainless-steel appliances. Just off the dining space, a mudroom features a new hot water heater, 2020 HVAC system, laundry hookups, and a door leading to the backyard. Down the hall from the primary living area are the full guest bath with a relaxing whirlpool tub and 2 guest bedrooms with generous closets. Upstairs offers a reading nook with a view of the pastures and charming cedar-lined built-in bench for storage, a walk-in hall closet, and a full bath boasting a large, updated shower and double vanity. The primary bedroom includes 2 closets (1 walk-in), a mini-split for extra cooling, a second cedar-lined bench, and a wonderful view of the pastures. Beyond the house is where the property truly shines. 4x4 top-board fencing encloses 5 1-acre paddocks, 1 with solar hot wire, along with 2 additional paddocks at the back of the property spanning 2 acres each, featuring shade trees, and a 2-stall run-in shed with solar fans and hot wire. All paddocks have individual water lines. The 11-stall horse barn is designed with both horse and rider in mind, featuring enclosed motor fans in every stall, a misting system along the aisle, and a large tack room with a half bath and separate feed room. Nearby, riding options include an irrigated full size lighted dressage arena with mirrors and a covered judge/spectator area, separate grass riding area and a 50’ wooden round pen. Flower beds, 2 greenhouses, a 3-bay chicken palace, a hay barn, tool shed, 3-sided shavings bin, covered ATV parking, 30-amp camper hookup, and equipment storage round out this well-equipped horse farm. The driveway allows horse trailers to maneuver easily around the house and barn, making the acreage particularly well suited to an established equestrian lifestyle. Underground utilities, 2 wells, and a dual-tank septic system provide important infrastructure. With dedicated facilities for horses, riding, gardening, storage, and everyday living, the property offers the freedom to shape your days around the activities you enjoy most. Conveniently located 15 minutes from the Alachua County Equestrian Center and 45 minutes from the World Equestrian Center, this farm is a competitor's dream property. Come walk the grounds, step inside the barn, and imagine what life could look like with 13.62 acres of Alachua countryside to call your own, while still close in to all of the amenities of Gainesville!
