Listing description
About this home
Owner financing available. Instant income-producing equestrian property. Rare opportunity to acquire a true large-scale equestrian property in the heart of Newberry and Jonesville.
Situated on 37 acres in highly desirable Marlboro Farms, this 40 stall facility offers a level of infrastructure, functionality, and location that is increasingly difficult to find in Alachua County, approximately 45 minutes from the World Equestrian Center. At the center of the property is a substantial concrete block barn with a metal roof and truss construction, built for durability, safety, and long-term use. The barn includes 40 stalls, automatic waterers, multiple tack and feed rooms, a fly system, six wash racks including one with hot water, and an efficient layout designed for daily operation.
The property features 17 irrigated paddocks with automatic waterers, providing consistent grass and allowing for year round rotation. Additional equestrian improvements include a 150 x 250 irrigated arena with footing, a grass jump field, and an 80-foot round pen with an observation deck. A 3,000 square foot metal equipment building with approximately 25 foot ceilings provides substantial storage and operational support.
The residential component includes a duplex totaling approximately 2,700 square feet, with a 3 bedroom 1 bath unit and a 1 bedroom 1 bath unit, along with a separate office and bathroom. This allows for staff housing, rental income, or on site management, with the option to build a custom primary residence. Located less than a mile from Publix, Tractor Supply, and restaurants, and just minutes to the Town of Tioga, UF, and Santa Fe College, this property is a rare combination of scale, convenience, and usability within a rapidly growing area.
In addition to its current use as a working equestrian facility, the property offers long term flexibility. With the existing plat, there may be potential for additional homesites, subject to county approval, creating further opportunity for future use or investment. Large properties of this scale and capability are rare in this location.
This offering presents an opportunity for a trainer, investor, or owner occupant to operate an income producing equestrian business, create a private estate, or capitalize on future potential. Owner financing available.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$2,155,702the mess$2,744,718
Actual list price: $2,450,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
1 active listing competing
For reference, this home is listed at $2,450,000 ($1,015/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Answered before you ask
Frequently asked questions
Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?
Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Where does the flood-zone information come from?
The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
