Welcome to your dream equestrian estate in the exclusive, gated community of Lexington Downs. This meticulously maintained property spans 16.57 acres, offering a blend of luxury, sustainability, and convenience. The custom-built home, constructed in 2012 by Bennett Construction Services, boasts 2,635 square feet of climate-controlled space and features innovative energy-efficient technologies, including instantaneous 40% solar heat energy reflective shingles, roof truss insulation, and energy-efficient argon gas-filled windows built to withstand 130 MPH winds. The state-of-the-art GEO-thermal HVAC system by Water Furnace ensures year-round comfort with minimal energy costs. The open split floor plan includes a master suite with a spa, separate shower, and his-and-hers closets, double vanities in both bathrooms, a dining area, large family room, and a beautiful Florida Room with ample natural light. The kitchen is adorned with solid woodgrain cabinets and an adjoining large pantry/laundry room. The oversize three-bay attached garage includes a workbench and extensive attic storage. Modern conveniences include LED lighting throughout, a whole-house Aprilaire inert air particle filtration system, and a Sanuvox air organic particle filtration system. Enjoy the large attached patio, perfect for entertaining, and an afternoon-shaded sitting area outside the walk-through garage door.
The outbuilding features a robust pole structure with pressure-treated posts, a metal roof, and a lean-to shed with an automatic water fountain. The 40' x 48' utility building with a concrete floor, workbench, and tack room provides ample space for farm equipment, feed, and hay storage. 30 roof-mounted LG solar panels installed in June 2021 generate 10 Kwh of electricity with bi-directional metering. The outbuilding features a 'drive-thru' design with 15 feet of overhead clearance and dedicated 50 amp electrical service for large RVs, horse trailers, or boats.
The farm is managed organically, enhancing its appeal and sustainability. The property includes 4.5 and 10-acre paddocks, a 60-foot round pen, and space for an arena, all enclosed by four-rail white vinyl fencing. Situated just south of Ocala, this estate offers easy access to miles of public trails on the Florida Greenway and the Florida Horse Park. Proximity to State Route 200 provides quick access to shopping, dining, medical services, and more. The combination of solar energy and a geothermal HVAC system results in an average monthly electric bill of less than $30.
Additional features include double-layered insulating exterior walls, strategically located lightning rods, bullnose interior wall corners, multiple sliding shelves in kitchen cabinets, water-saving appliances and fixtures, an upgraded landscaping irrigation system, and an epoxy-painted garage floor.
