Description

The second of 4 contiguous parcels comprising Oak Lane Farm. is this gorgeous 132+ acre property which personifies the Ocala horse country landscape with its rolling green pastures, grandaddy oaks, and its plethora of wildlife, including deer, fox squirrel, turkey, quail, Sandhill Cranes, and many other species of birds. With 132 acres, you will have your own private horse park, with its own personality. Highly visible with three gated entrances with crossovers and extensive frontage on US 441, this property lends itself to more commercially oriented uses, and yet its privacy and peacefulness present an idyllic setting for any venture. Whether operating a show stable or walking or riding the gently rolling fields and woodland trails with your dog running freely by your side, under the farm's expansive "big skies", life is at once so peaceful yet exhilarating, you will not want to leave. But should you prefer to venture out, this farm is truly the epicenter for all Central Florida has to offer. Load up the horses, and in less than 30 minutes you'll find yourself at the doorstep of the esteemed World Equestrian Center, where you can always expect first class horse events, fine food as well as pub fair, and other year-round festivities.
