North Fort Myers, Florida Horse Property for SALE
Show up, unpack, and start your equestrian operation immediately on this perfectly sized and stunning 20.22-acre TURNKEY farm! This farm has been upgraded with horses first in mind and meticulously maintained. Clean, safe, and efficient! Nestled almost midway between the showgrounds of Ocala to the north and Wellington to the East, this quality property is offered at a price well below what you would pay to be closer to those showground locations.
As you enter…PRIVATELY GATED AND FULLY FENCED! The property is set back just off State Hwy 31 on a quiet country road, where you’ll enter your farm through a private gate, drive down the asphalt drive, and immediately see the professionally installed 4 board fencing - all with treated 2x6s, lag bolted, and heavy-duty galvanized gates. Continue through and notice that trees abound for shade in the 7 HUGE paddocks that flank the Main Barn, and in the 5 oversized paddocks that surround the Secondary Barn. Rotating pastures is easy! Also includes 2 small rehab paddocks!
To the left, you will see the SECONDARY BARN with 5 oversized stalls plus one smaller stall for the pony! This open-air barn has direct turnout access from each stall into huge paddocks for horses who thrive on 24/7 turnout! Nelson Automatic Waterers, conditioned hay room, conditioned tack room with/ sink, and a large wash stall make this barn beautifully self-sufficient! Retirement barn? Boarders Barn? Rescue Barn? Breeding Barn? Quarantine Barn? So many great options!
Further up, still on your left, you will pass the 4 BAY HAY BARN. One side of this structure is conditioned and houses approximately 750 small, compressed bales. The other side houses the well, the pressure tank, the R/O system, and provides a shady resting place for the arena drag and other farm equipment.
Onto the MAIN BARN! This cypress-clad, open-air structure is a dream barn, expertly constructed with 5 Lucas Equine Stalls, all 12x16s, open spaces for 2 more, 2 large wash stalls, and air-conditioned Tack, Feed, and Laundry Rooms! Hot and cold R/O water service this barn, with Nelson Auto Waterers and Nelson Feeders in each stall! Perfect for horses in training with the ability to create individual stall runs if desired! No slip rubber matting throughout!
Take 10 steps across the lane and you are on the porch of the FARMHOUSE! Located directly adjacent to the Main Barn (and SO convenient for night checks), this adorable 2 bed/2 bath farmhouse with 10’ ceilings are ready to reside in as is, or there is ample space to add on to it and create a larger residence. It has a charming front porch with southern exposure where you can sit with a beverage and overlook the serene oaks, the riding arena, the fish-stocked pond, and the county-owned forest beyond! Call it a Farmhouse, a Guest Cottage, or a Caretaker's Cottage – it is perfectly updated and comfortable in whatever way you choose to use it!
As you leave the Farmhouse and move further toward the back of the property, you’ll come across the RIDING ARENA, on your left. Used formerly for dressage, it is approximately 66x198 with professional footing installed by Premier Equestrian in December 2023. Well maintained, and drainage is no problem! Set the irrigation system on the timer for automatic watering overnight or as and when necessary. Directly across from the arena is a round sand pad, formerly used for a round pen, which can easily be reconstructed!

Now STORAGE FACILITY, former RECORDING STUDIO. Yes. This property has, what used to be, a 1,800sf professional recording studio formerly used by the rock band “GODSMACK!” In fact, they recorded their last album, “Lighting Up the Sky” in this exact building! ROCK STAR VIBES! Alas, it is now being used for mere storage, but this structure has so many possibilities! Connect the 4-car and the studio and turn it into a full-sized home or leave it all as is and store your overflow. Or use it as a Party Room with Karaoke on Steroids!
