Best of Both Worlds – Ocala Luxury Estate and Equestrian Farm

Few homes can evoke such feelings of relaxation, yet provide so much opportunity for entertainment! It’s clear from first glance at the tile roof, stone columns, intricate accents, rustic wooden doors, and bucolic lighting that no detail was overlooked in the construction of this estate. Even its location on the property provides the best in southern breezes. 

Upon entering this exquisite, Tuscan style home, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a 5-star spa. Warm Spanish tile starts in the 2-story foyer/great room and winds its way through most of the house giving way to hardwood floors in the family room, gentlemen’s study and some bedrooms. The white columns that adorn the exterior of the home are also exquisitely placed within and accentuated by open beam ceilings. You’ll find the Chef’s kitchen is perfectly appointed and features a wine and coffee room, plus it’s open to the family room to allow for ease in entertaining. All 5 of the bedrooms are graciously sized and the 2-bedroom guest suite features its own private entrance. The master suite provides direct access to the pool and is accompanied by an oversized master bath that’s highlighted by his-and-her counters to allow you the space you need to meet the day or get ready for a night out. The room just off the master suite could be used as a private study, exercise room, nursery, or an extra lady’s closet.  

The house wraps around the resort-style pool area and provides access through several beautiful French doors. Between the intricate landscaping, infinity pool with sun-shelf, and a recessed, covered hot tub, you’ll be hard pressed to decide which feature you like best. The views from here overlook rolling hills, granddaddy oaks, and fenced paddocks, and rival anything featured in a Conde Nast magazine.  Enhanced by an impeccable outdoor kitchen and a living area that features a wood-burning fireplace, you may find you never want to leave! 

Equestrian Facilities 

The concrete block stable features 10 open-air stalls with automatic waterers and a wash rack to keep your animals cool and clean. An air-conditioned tack room and half bath provide the conveniences you need, as well. The barn is highlighted by an oversized garage capped by roll-up doors on either end, ideal for storing your horse trailer, RV, yacht, or could also be perfect as a gentlemen’s garage.   

With 34+/- incredible acres to ride on, you have ample room to pursue any equestrian discipline. However, if dressage or jumping are your passion, you will love the areas of level fields situated near the barn. Trail riders can exult in the close location of the Cross Florida Greenway, which features miles of trails that accommodate all equestrian experience levels, as well as provide the opportunity for bicycling or hiking. For additional information on the Florida Greenways and Trails please visit https://www.floridastateparks.org/trail/Santos
