Turn - Key Commercial Horse Arena / Boarding / Training
Utica, Knox County, Ohio
Welcome to Knox County and to this turn-key commercial horse arena, boarding, and training facility which is situated on +/- 7 spacious acres. Located about 50 +/- minutes from Columbus, Ohio, about 50 +/- minutes to Zanesville, and just about 15 +/- minutes to Mount Vernon sits this one of a kind business opportunity. Surrounded by wonderful views and just far enough from big city life, you will find multiple buildings that are set up and ready to board, train, and give a horse its best life possible. The main arena is a massive 80’ x 160’ foot facility, 12,800 sq feet, with a metal roof and 4 ft centers. There is plenty of lighting, including some LED lightning. Attached to the arena is an awesome, second level viewing/lounge area with large open glass windows to view the horses and riders in action. You and your guests/clients will really appreciate what the lounge offers as it can be the setting for relaxation, beverages, and even get togethers for other functions. There is recessed lighting, a bathroom, and even an office below! Now to the boarding facilities which offer 32 awesome, ready to go stalls, all with sliding doors. Just outside the main entrance to Arena you will find two identical 30’ x 100’ Stall Barns, each having 16 stalls and metal roofing! Each barn contains a gorgeous tack room, wash bay and a utility room. There is concrete flooring down the centers of each barn (less mud) and large sliding doors at the ends of each barn. There is an additional 24’ x 60’ hay/equipment barn with some concrete flooring and a metal roof. The horses and clients will really enjoy the outdoor arena which is approximately 120’ x 150’. The ground in the outdoor arena is a special mixture which came from the Quarter Horse Congress! There is a “bulk shavings” shed that will ensure your stalls have the freshest bulk shavings. The source for the shavings is only ten miles away. There is plenty of parking for fifth wheel rigs to allow for unloading of horses and cattle, etc. To the west, there is some fencing to accommodate roping steers and other livestock. Centrally located to the facility is a training yard which is the perfect location for a walker/trainer. The facility also has a one bedroom/one full bath furnished apartment. This apartment could be utilized by a resident/manager, maybe AIRBNB or a live-in investor/owner. There is a spacious front porch and beautiful covered second level area with a view that will satisfy for sure. On the other side of the large parking area is a very convenient location where a home could be built, additional barns constructed or maybe an additional outdoor arena. The possibilities are endless with this facility and ongoing business. There are currently +/- 16 horses boarded here. The facility is running at half capacity and the need for boarding is on the rise as more people enter the horse world. There are resident trainers and other trainers who lease training time here to accommodate clients' needs. The current owner is a well known trainer, border, and horse enthusiast and can stay on as a temporary consultant. There is 400 amp electric service, septic, and private water. There is propane with central heating/AC. This facility really is an opportunity of a lifetime. With the proximity to Columbus, Ohio, the potential of this facility is endless.
