About this home
Set on 15 fully fenced acres beneath mature live oaks, this move-in-ready equestrian property in Bell, Florida combines an updated home, established horse facilities, and direct access to the trotter training track. Located in an area known for Standardbred training, the property is well suited for trainers, horse owners, or anyone looking for a functional farm with room to enjoy the North Florida lifestyle. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been thoughtfully renovated for comfortable everyday living. The remodeled kitchen features quartzite countertops, updated appliances, and a functional layout. New flooring and baseboards run throughout the home, and a wood-burning fireplace creates a comfortable gathering space. A versatile bonus room can serve as an office, canning room, hobby area, or additional storage. Outside, the covered patio overlooks the acreage and seasonal pond, while a 32' x 16' above-ground pool offers another place to enjoy the property. Recent improvements include the kitchen renovation, flooring, appliances, workshop roof, pump house, updated well controls and pressure tank, HVAC evaporator coil, and sliding glass door. The 105' x 48' center-aisle barn is ready for daily equestrian operations with thirteen 12' x 12' stalls, groom's quarters, and a hot-water wash rack. Cross-fenced pastures allow for flexible turnout and horse management, while additional storage buildings provide space for equipment, feed, and supplies. A 28' x 32' air-conditioned workshop adds valuable space for projects, equipment, storage, or business use. Direct track access makes this an especially practical setup for Standardbred owners and trainers. Here, country living doesn't mean giving up everyday convenience. Enjoy acreage, privacy, horses, and quiet surroundings while remaining within reach of groceries, dining, schools, fuel, and daily necessities in Bell and nearby Trenton.
