About this home

Forever Spring Farm sits in the heart of Florida's Horse Country, roughly 25 minutes from the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, 15 minutes to HITS, and just 30 minutes from Gainesville and the University of Florida. The location alone makes this one of the most strategically positioned equestrian estates currently on the market, but location is only the beginning. The property generates income on day one. Tucked privately away from the main house is the Happy House, a short-term rental that has been welcoming guests for years. Add the dedicated RV hookup as a second income stream, and this farm pays you while you enjoy it. For buyers looking to offset carrying costs or build a hospitality-forward operation around Florida's thriving equestrian season, the infrastructure is already in place. The equestrian facilities are built for real use. The 7-stall center-aisle barn includes an air-conditioned tack room, feed room, and a full bathroom, so horse care is comfortable year round. The pastures are lush and well-maintained across the full 50 acres, with surrounding mature woods that provide natural privacy and a quiet that is increasingly hard to find this close to Ocala. The main residence is 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, custom built with the kind of detail that shows up in person rather than on paper. Sunlight fills the living spaces through generous windows framing views of rolling pasture and ancient live oaks. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area, a formal dining room is sized for a crowd, and the Florida room and wide front deck have hosted more sunsets than anyone could count. The attached mother-in-law suite adds flexibility whether your priority is multi-generational living, long-term guests, or additional rental income. A long paved drive leads you in across a fish-filled pond, and somewhere along that approach, something shifts. The world you came from gets quieter. That feeling is not accidental. The owners built this place over 20 years with that intention, and it shows in every garden bed, every fence line, and every mature oak that shades the land. This is a working farm with real income potential, in the right location, with the infrastructure already built. With a recent appraisal in hand, it is priced to reflect what it would cost to assemble this combination of land, location, and improvements from scratch.
