11851 SW 38TH STREET OCALA FL 34481 MLS #OM711661

Situated amongst large beautiful horse farms in Marion County’s vibrant Horse Country just 4 miles from the World Equestrian Center (WEC), this 12.71-acre farm is a real gem. Beyond a gated entry and down a paved driveway, the property offers a lovely center aisle barn, a total of 5 paddocks with board fencing and nice, flat areas. The 9-stall concrete block center-aisle barn includes wash stalls/grooming stalls, an equipment and work area, as well as a new tack room / riders lounge with a full bath and laundry area. Near the main home, a newly constructed 2-stall concrete block barn includes its own wash area and tack/feed room. A 30-amp RV hookup with septic connection adds further convenience for guests or seasonal rental income. Towards the back of the property is a thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home built in 1985. Spanning just under 3,000 sqft, the home features a split-bedroom floor plan, tall ceilings, and engineered hardwood flooring and tile in the kitchen and baths. The spacious great room features a lovely brick accent wall with fireplace, large windows, cathedral ceilings, and an inviting formal dining area. Directly open to the great room, the kitchen is well equipped for those who enjoy cooking with stainless steel appliances, extensive cabinet storage, quartz countertops, and a large center island with breakfast bar. An additional breakfast nook with built-in shelving and window seat also provides stunning views of the surrounding farm and pool, perfect for a quiet morning coffee or less formal meals. Each bedroom is oversized and inviting, though the primary suite is the true stand-out with an extra large layout, walk-in closet, and private en-suite bathroom with an overflow tub and dual vanities. Additional features of note include a dedicated office for those who work from home and a spacious garage. At the back of the home is a large screen-enclosed pool deck with recently resurfaced in-ground pool and spa, a covered area for seating, and an adjacent open-air covered deck. An additional climate-controlled flex building with covered carport is also established on the property, ready to serve as a gym, workshop, studio, or office as desired. With its seamless blend of updated residential space and professional-grade equestrian infrastructure, combined with the abundant beautiful live oaks, this turnkey property offers a rare opportunity to train, ride, and live in comfort!
