5676 State Highway 2 W - Ranch With Home And Equestrian Facilities

Horse lovers and equine professionals will covet this working ranch that rivals any facilities elsewhere. It boasts a world-class equestrian facility, purposely designed for training, boarding and breeding horses, or perhaps for enjoying as a private retreat for the new owner and horses. The pristine 42-acre property includes a beautiful home, three barns and several wells. It has seven fenced paddocks with prime Argentine Bahia grass and automated watering systems. Serious riders will appreciate the lighted outdoor riding arena with footing designed for performance horses. The 4,800-sq.-ft. modern horse barn can withstand winds up to 140 mph. It has twelve 14x14 stalls, each with its own center drain and individual high-performance ceiling fans, custom slip-resistant rubber mats that aid in cleanliness and fly control system. The air-conditioned tack room is equipped with a washer/dryer and refrigerator, and has hot and cold water and a half bath. The 4,840-sq.-ft. equipment/storage barn includes three oversized garage spaces and a workshop. The third barn is 6,850 square feet with concrete flooring, great for storage for hay, shavings and trailers. An industrial diesel generator and a high-pressure agricultural well ensure the ranch is totally self-sustaining. After a busy day, the well-appointed home offers a relaxing haven with three spacious beds, three baths and two large living areas, both with cozy feature fireplaces. Tile flooring provides a seamless flow into the open gourmet kitchen, which has granite countertops and a host of cabinets and appliances. The master suite is particularly spacious and has a lavishly appointed bathroom with a deep jetted tub, walk-in shower and twin vanities. When you could go for a dip in a pool, the huge screened patio has a kidney-shaped pool and a hot tub for soothing aching muscles. It’s surrounded by far-reaching views of the surrounding paddocks and mature native trees. Combining a dream home and lifestyle with the possibility of a working equestrian business, this is a unique opportunity to change direction and secure the good life. Located close to I-10, this dream facility is convenient for many A-rated equestrian events as well as South Walton beaches and the Destin-Fort Walton Airport.
