Community Details at a Glance
The Homes
Product
A gated, deed-restricted equestrian land enclave on roughly 56 acres, county-platted into 10 to 12 acre build-on-your-lot farm parcels; confirm the exact remaining lot count and acreage
Build
Buy raw or improved pasture and build your own home, barn, arenas, and paddocks; some lots include established barns or an existing residence, and electric and well are in place on the parcels offered turnkey
Scale
A small, finite enclave adjoining the Florida Horse Park and the Cross Florida Greenway, marketed by Showcase Properties of Central Florida; inventory is thin and not replicable
Ownership
Fee-simple farm lots with deed restrictions, no age restriction; you control the home and barn program within the recorded restrictions
Costs & Fees
HOA
Deed-restricted equestrian community; confirm the HOA or property-owners association, the dues, and exactly what the restrictions allow (barns, stall counts, commercial boarding) in writing before you offer
CDD
No CDD is indicated for this rural Marion County land enclave; confirm there is no CDD assessment on a specific parcel on the tax roll
Reality
Land plus a custom build is a budget you assemble yourself: lot price, well and septic where not already in place, the barn, fencing, arenas, and the house. Price the parcel on land comps and get a real build estimate, not a finished-home average
Amenities
Greenway access
An access road with an electric gate opens to the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway near Lot 7, so you can ride from your barn onto the state trail system without trailering
Bridle trails and roundabouts
An internal road system with 60-foot roundabouts and community bridle trails designed around horses, not cars
Training track
Negotiable access to an on-site training track (the listing describes a quarter-mile track; some marketing references a longer track, so confirm the exact length and the access terms)
Gated and private
The entire property is gated for privacy and security, adjoining both the 300-plus-acre Florida Horse Park and the Greenway; golf and a private country club are not part of this community
Location
Setting
SE Marion County horse country off County Road 475A in Ocala's Golden Corridor, adjoining the Florida Horse Park (11008 S Highway 475, Ocala 34480) and the Cross Florida Greenway, ZIP 34480; confirm the exact parcel
Florida Horse Park
Directly adjacent; the 300-plus-acre Florida Horse Park hosts year-round events across disciplines within walking or riding distance
Downtown Ocala
About 13 miles, roughly 23 minutes, via the SE corridor
Access
Minutes to SR-200 and I-75; close to Ocala Breeders' Sales and the Ocala International Airport, with WEC and HITS in the broader Ocala horse market
The Land & What You Build
Horse Park Lane is not a finished-home subdivision. It is a gated, deed-restricted equestrian land enclave where you buy a 10 to 12 acre farm lot and build the program you want: a home, a barn, arenas, and paddocks.
The property runs to roughly 56 acres, county-platted with lots immediately available. Some parcels are cleared pasture; others carry the live oaks the region is known for. Electric and well are in place on the turnkey parcels, and some options include established barns or an existing residence.
Price a specific lot on raw and improved land comps in SE Marion County, not on a finished-farm average. The value here is the dirt, the location, and what you can build, plus the rare adjacency to the Greenway and the Florida Horse Park.
Inventory is finite and not replicable. When a configuration you want is available, move on it.
Living Here
This is a horse-first community. The internal road system was laid out with 60-foot roundabouts so trailers and rigs can turn, and community bridle trails run through the enclave.
The headline amenity is access. An access road with an electric gate opens onto the Cross Florida Greenway near Lot 7, so you can ride from your barn onto miles of the state's non-motorized trail system without ever trailering out. The Greenway is maintained by Florida State Parks.
You also adjoin the Florida Horse Park, a 300-plus-acre venue with year-round events across disciplines, within walking or riding distance. Negotiable access to an on-site training track adds a working-farm dimension; confirm the track length and terms in writing.
The entire property is gated. There is no golf course and no private country club here; the amenity is the land, the trail access, and the horse infrastructure.
Before You Offer
Buying land for a custom horse farm is a different diligence exercise than buying a finished house. Confirm the recorded deed restrictions and exactly what they allow: barn size, stall counts, fencing, arenas, and whether commercial boarding, training, or breeding is permitted on your specific lot.
Confirm utilities by parcel. Some lots have electric and well in place; others may need a well and septic installed. Get the actual costs into your build budget before you commit.
Pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact parcel. Rural Marion County land can straddle different zones, and the Greenway corridor includes low-lying areas. Two adjoining lots can insure very differently.
Confirm Marion County zoning, agricultural classification (Greenbelt) eligibility for the parcel, the HOA or property-owners association dues and scope, and that there is no CDD on the tax roll. Confirm the Greenway access and any training-track access in writing, since the track access is described as negotiable.
Comparisons
Horse Park Lane competes for the buyer who wants to build a custom farm inside a gated enclave with real trail access. Against newer gated land communities like Sorrel Ridge, with 6 to 13 acre lots and a community bridle path, Horse Park Lane's edge is direct, gated access onto the Cross Florida Greenway and adjacency to the Florida Horse Park, plus the optional training track, a combination that is genuinely unusual. Against communities positioned between WEC and HITS, like Westfield Farms, Horse Park Lane trades the show-circuit address for trail riding, a quieter SE-county setting, and the Greenway. Against buying an unrestricted acreage tract on the open market, Horse Park Lane gives up the lowest possible land price but gains a gate, an engineered horse-friendly road system, deed restrictions that protect your neighbors' use, and the amenity package. The honest summary: Horse Park Lane wins on Greenway-and-Horse-Park adjacency, the gated build-your-own format, and scarcity, and gives ground to buyers who want a finished home now or the WEC and HITS show address.
Who It Fits
Horse Park Lane fits the equestrian who wants to build a custom farm and ride from the barn onto the Greenway without trailering, the buyer who values a gated, deed-restricted enclave that protects the horse use, and the working-farm operator who wants the optional training track and proximity to the Florida Horse Park, OBS, and the broader Ocala horse economy. It does not fit the buyer who needs a move-in-ready house now, the buyer chasing the lowest possible raw-land price with no restrictions or gate, or the buyer who specifically wants the WEC-to-HITS show-circuit address. Anyone considering it should confirm the deed restrictions, the utilities by parcel, the HOA scope, and the Greenway and training-track access in writing first.
