Property description

This extraordinary equestrian estate is a dream facility for boarding, training, breeding, equestrian events, executive retreats, or just family recreation. The possibilities are limitless!! The farm sits in an area of lovely equestrian properties between historic Madison, GA and the Watkinsville/Athens area, putting you very near the UGA Vet School and the Georgia International Horse Park, and within an easy drive of Tryon, Aiken, Ocala, and the Atlanta Airport.

The meticulously appointed and maintained executive home is 6678 sq. ft. and offers 4 bedrooms and 5 baths - 3 br/4ba in the main section of the house, and an additional bedroom and bath in the semi-detached guest or in-law suite. Among the many features of this amazing home you'll find a heated saltwater pool, 5 seat hot tub, 2 theater rooms, game rooms, an astro-turfed putting room or play room, and an impressive craft room that could easily become a great bunk room.

A spacious and nicely renovated 1435 sq. ft. caretaker or guest cottage gives you an additional 2 bedrooms and 1 bath of living space, and offers easy access to the barn or arena. The cottage is perfect for a caretaker, trainer, in-laws, or guests.

In the barn you'll find 20 stalls - 14 12’ x 12’ stalls, each with Soft Stall mats, water, lights, heat lamps, and stall fans, and 6 unfinished 12' x 16' stalls. Ceiling fans above the 12’ center aisle keep the barn cool in summer and there are drive-in hay and shavings rooms, hot and cold wash racks with tankless hot water, as well as utility rooms and equipment storage. A separate wing is heated and cooled and houses a trainer tack room, a 16’ x 48’ boarder tack room, a kitchenette, w/d hookups, and two restrooms, one with ADA accessible shower, and it’s all kept tidy with a central vacuum system.

The 100’ x 225’ x 40’ Clearspan indoor arena features great overhead lighting and two 24’ “Big A**” type fans. A 5 ft. tongue & groove wall runs the length of the arena with a concrete perimeter walkway/viewing area behind it, and a wooden judging/viewing platform for shows or events. The arena is directly adjacent to the barn for easy access, and is perfect in any weather for lessons, events, or just recreational riding. The compressed clay base is ready for you to bring in the footing of your choice. Another 250’ x 150’ outdoor arena is currently grass covered, but could easily be converted to your desired footing. There's lots of available parking with room for trailers.

The over-seeded Bermuda pastures have water and run-in shelters. There’s also a dry lot with water and a 24’ x 24’ shelter. You’ll enjoy fishing or just cooling off with your horse in the 1.2 acre pond that’s fully stocked and sloped for walk-in access.
