World Equestrian Center

Cerulean winter skies and sun soaked greenery have attracted horsemen and golf-loving retirees to north central Florida for decades. By the summer solstace, breezes off both coasts collide and give rise to afternoon storm clouds. Part-time residents would generally migrate back to northen states and Canada this time of year.

In open air, there are 17 arenas with all-weather footing and builtin drainage, plus schooling areas and scenic riding trails that span throughout the development. The UF Veterinary Hospital at World Equestrian Center opened its doors last month to provide advanced diagnostics and treatment for horses, dogs and cats.

In the last two years, there has been a major shift throughout the country. The award winning Ocala Marion County Chamber & Economic Partnership estimates that 190 people a week are moving to this once tiny metro. The cost of living is 16.2% below the national average; and U.S. News & World Report ranked Ocala as the fourth safest place to live in the United States.

The exposition centers are designed to attract a variety of association meetings, conventions, trade shows and pop culture events.

Whether you're in the mood for a crafted slice of Americana at Ralph’s Burgers, or if the occasion calls for fine dining; the culinary talents of the world-class chefs at Stirrups Steakhouse or a decadent treat from Emma’s Patisserie makes for a pleasing excursion itself.

Even so, a visit would be remiss without taking a stroll to explore the extravagant boutique shoppes along the Grand Plaza.

Horses and people train and play early during the summer months and no longer have to go far to find good footing and a safe environment to compete since the largest equestrian complex of its kind in the U.S. was developed in Ocala. Inspired by the Roberts family's event facility in Wilmington, Ohio, the founders of R+L Carriers, a freight shipping and logistics company, transformed 378 acres south of the Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club into a destination park and a state-of-the-art, multipurpose facility.

The World Equestrian Center (WEC), with its climate controlled barns, protected avenues, and multiple arenas for horse competitions delivers a wholesome experience in a family environment; complimented by the luxurious accomodations at The Equestrian hotel and spa. The five-story, 248 room resort, with detail in stylish design and comforts overlooks the Grand Outdoor Stadium. By comparison, the 3-acre jump field with jumbotron screens, trilateral covered seating, and an injury-preventing surface dwarfs the area used for a Major League Baseball park or a football stadium field.

For those that share their lives with animal companions, 200 RV sites are set in a pet-friendly environment. Plus, a new pet-friendly hotel has been designed and is under construction to accommodate extended-stay customers. Other amenities on-site include a general store and a chapel.

Forbes magazine recognized Ocala as one of the Top Ten Metros for future job growth in the United States. Along with the expansion of WEC and multiple commerce parks taking root in the county, these facilities are adding to the enrichment of the area with economic opportunity, progressive infrastructure and increased property values.

A master planned community featuring 300 equestrian estates on multi-acre lots is also under development adjacent to WEC. The Golden Ocala Real Estate team can assist you to locate the best opportunity for your investments in a farm, residence, or business.

What is a farm worth?

Unlike a Custom built home in a popular neighborhood with recent sales activity, the value of a property intended for horses cannot always be valued using the same rules. Unimproved land will usually be compared to past sales, and if it is located in a deed restricted community with its future use relatively determined, generally it is a direct comparison. Regarding a resale of an established equestrian estate, for example, there are an array of variants which can possibly effect the property’s market and appraised value. Here are just a few things to take into consideration: — What is the size or current usage of the property?

— Is it a working, income-producing property?

— How many horses can the farm sustain?

— Is their more than one residence?

— Does it have double fenced paddocks or single fenced?

— What type of footing is in the riding ring or on the racetrack?

— Does the farm have amenities such as a stable, a barn offic and/or apratment, an equipment or maintenance building, indoor rings or turn outs, a tractor, jumps, or a starting gate?

— Are the undulations of the land in balance with the intended use of the farm? (example: room for a fla riding arena, etc.)

— What does the locale offer with regard to social life in a horse dominant neighborhood? Is it close to a equine related venue?

— Is it located in a gated equestrian community?

— What recent improvements or remodeling have been done?

Contact one of these agents... for the Best Results in Acreage, Farms, Equestrian Estates Residential Sales & Investments

— Is everything in proper working order?

THE PROS OF BUYING NEW CONSTRUCTION

M

aybe you’ve been searching for your dream home for months and you just can’t find the right one. You’ve come close, but there’s always something that you just can’t get past: the property backs up to a busy highway; the kitchen is dated and not adjacent to the family room; there’s no room that lends itself to a home office; the garage is detached. No matter what, there doesn’t seem to be a home out there that will fit the bill without investing significant dollars in renovation.

That’s why for many homebuyers, the answer is new construction. While it may not have been your original gameplan, and there are certainly challenges involved in building a home, here are a few of the advantages to consider: No surprises. When you start from scratch, everything in the home—from the appliances to the molding to the windows—is according to spec. You’ll also be moving

40

HOMES & LAND of Ocala Marion County

040.indd 1

into a completely unused, clean home—a big plus for many.

Customization inside and out. From the color of the siding and trim to the placement of lighting and outlets, buying new construction allows you to make decisions about the specific details of your home.

If having this degree of control over your home is important to you, new construction might be the way to go. Bear in mind, the options won’t be limitless; most builders have parameters that you’ll need to work within. More elaborate design changes will need to be handled after you close.

Baked-in energy efficiency. The vast majority of new construction homes are being built with energy-efficiency standards in mind, so you can pretty much count on optimized insulation materials, heating and cooling systems, appliances and windows.

Reduced maintenance costs. While you might spend more on upgrades while you’re building a new home, you’ll most likely save money on the typical maintenance costs involved in buying a resale home. You won’t have to worry about an aging roof or a faulty furnace, or needing to remodel the kitchen anytime soon, for example.

QUICK TIP

N ot all builders are created equal, so your satisfaction with the finished product is only as good as the builder you’re working with, so be sure to check out their work and get recommendations in advance.

Things to Do as a Family in Ocala/Marion County PADDLE THE WATERS IN SALT SPRINGS

Salt Springs is another popular spring located in the lush, semi-tropical landscape of the Ocala National Forest. This recreational jewel is named after the naturally occurring minerals that rise to the surface from deep natural fissu es in the earth, providing a slight salinity not found in other nearby springs. Boats and canoes can be rented at the Salt Springs Marina, or guests with their own canoes and boats can launch using the Marina’s ramp or the gravel ramp located at the back of the recreation area’s campground. The regulations of

the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission apply to freshwater boating and fishing along the Salt Springs Run. In addition to boating and fishing be sure to take a dip in the glittering bluegreen waters of the Salt Springs basin within clearly marked areas.
