Ocala, Florida - Breeding and Training Farm for Lease

Farm size: Total farm size is 600 acres. 300 acres is pasture land with no improvements, just many old-growth oak trees, perimeter fencing and some fencing on the land. The other 300 acres is pastures with seven barns (broodmare, yearling, stallion, two training, and two wooden feeder barns) and 5/8 mile training track. The farm is available for lease either as a whole or in parts.

Location: Approximately 15 minutes north of Ocala, 1.5 miles west of I-75 on Highway 318. It's just a few miles east of Frank Stronach's new Adena Springs South location.

Farm uses: This size, location and setup of the farm makes it a superb location for a Thoroughbred breeding, pinhooking and/or training center. The farm is located in an area known for great soils to support the growth of young horses. The large pastures with rolling hills that are just right (not too low, not too steep) allow foals and yearlings the space to grow their bones and muscles in a natural environment. The transition to the breaking and training process can take place at the training center with its 3/4 mile dirt track.

Lease Term: negotiable depending on parcel/barn combination
