Virtually Staged. This is not simply a horse farm—it is a rare, turnkey equestrian enterprise positioned in one of Alachua County’s most strategic and sought-after locations. Set across 37 beautiful acres in Newberry’s Marlboro Farms, this impressive property combines serious equestrian infrastructure, multiple income-producing possibilities and extraordinary proximity to Gainesville, the University of Florida and everyday conveniences. Built to support a high-volume professional operation, the substantial concrete-block barn offers 40 stalls, automatic waterers, multiple tack and feed rooms, a fly-control system and six wash racks—including one with hot water. Seventeen irrigated paddocks with automatic waterers provide efficient turnout and year-round rotation, while the 150' x 250' irrigated arena, grass jump field and 80-foot round pen with observation deck create a versatile training environment for multiple disciplines. A separate approximately 3,000-square-foot equipment building with soaring ceilings provides exceptional storage for trailers, tractors, hay and farm machinery. The residential component includes a duplex totaling approximately 2,700 square feet, configured with a three-bedroom, one-bath residence and a separate one-bedroom, one-bath unit, plus an additional office and bathroom. The flexible arrangement is ideal for onsite management, trainer or staff accommodations, multigenerational living or rental income—all while preserving the opportunity to create a custom primary estate on the property. Located less than a mile from Publix, Tractor Supply, restaurants and daily necessities, and just minutes from the Town of Tioga, Santa Fe College and the University of Florida, this is the rare equestrian property where scale does not require sacrificing convenience. World Equestrian Center is approximately 45 minutes away. Operate an established equestrian business, develop a private training facility, create an income-producing investment or build the centerpiece residence of an extraordinary personal estate. The existing plat may also offer potential for additional homesites, subject to county approval. Properties with this combination of acreage, infrastructure, location and flexibility are nearly impossible to reproduce—and exceptionally rare to acquire. OWNER FINANCING is available, creating an even more compelling opportunity for the discerning equestrian buyer, trainer or investor.
