With a park-like setting that balances ease of use with stunning scenery, this inviting farm overlooks a total of 22.72 acres within Marion County's serene Horse Country. Perimeter fenced with no-climb wire with top board and fully gated, the property is perfectly private and set back from the road for added security. A long paved driveway winds past paddocks towards the main section of the property where both the barn and home rest. 7 lush paddocks are in place, each gently shaded by mature trees and fenced with a combination of three-board, top board and wire, and cross fencing. The shedrow-style barn provides a total of 4 stalls and is equipped with feed and tack room and a wash rack with hot water. An arena is also in place, providing additional training opportunities. This property is suited for a variety of disciplines with lots of flexibility and additional options for further customization if desired. Surrounded by tasteful landscaping at the heart of the property is the spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home, complete with an inviting covered front porch which is perfect for a set of rocking chairs. The thoughtfully designed interiors feature tall cathedral ceilings, a split-bedroom floor plan, and a combination of engineered hardwood, ceramic tile, and porcelain tile throughout. Towards the front of the home is the formal dining room and private office space, which could be used for a variety of other uses such as a den, play room, or craft space. The kitchen is a real draw for those who enjoy cooking with its ample cabinet storage, expansive granite countertops, built-in wine rack, tiled backsplash, newer appliances, breakfast bar, and additional walk-in pantry. Open to the kitchen is the large family room, which showcases a recessed area with built-in cabinet storage and french door access to the pool area. Perfect for relaxing after a long day training, the primary suite is particularly inviting with a larger layout, a walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath with dual vanities, walk-in shower, and a jetted garden tub. All other bedrooms are nicely spacious, and two include a built-in desk area for additional work or study options. For those who enjoy entertaining, the back of the home features a huge screen-enclosed patio complete with a sparkling salt water pool, a covered area for shaded seating, built-in raised flower beds, and stunning views of the surrounding farm. A secondary bathroom is also directly accessible from the patio area, making it a breeze to rinse off or change before or after a swim. Attached to the home is a two-car garage that provides ample space for cars and additional storage, as well as a tiled dog wash/shower area to rinse off after training. A whole-home generator is also in place. If you're eager to take advantage of all that the Horse Capital of the World has to offer, this farm has a highly convenient location with plenty to discover.
