One of the most beautiful and rare pieces of land in Columbia County, this extraordinary 36-acre equestrian estate sits high on a hilltop along a paved road, offering sweeping views of rolling pastureland adorned with majestic, centuries-old oak trees. Designed for horse lovers, the farm is fully equipped with a center-aisle barn featuring four full-size stalls and two pony stalls, along with a tack/feed room and a wash rack area. The pastures are fenced and cross-fenced, making it easy to move your horses right in. Several historic tobacco barns add rich character to the landscape, and the silo near the barn, has been used for hay storage. The charming farmhouse sits at the highest point of the property, capturing beautiful views in every direction. Inside, you’ll find cathedral ceilings with tongue-and-groove wood accents and an open, inviting floor plan perfect for entertaining. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while the dining area flows seamlessly from the kitchen and living space. The spacious kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances and also features a breakfast bar. The primary suite is located upstairs and opens to its own private balcony overlooking the farm, offering a peaceful place to enjoy sunrise coffee or evening sunsets. Two additional bedrooms are located on the main floor and share a full bath, along with a convenient half bath and laundry room off the kitchen. A wraparound porch, along with an open breezeway and attached three-car carport, provides plenty of space for relaxing, entertaining, and everyday functionality. The home features a metal roof with all new screws. Ideally located near crystal-clear North Florida springs, rivers, and state parks, this property offers endless outdoor recreation. You’re also just a short drive to Lake City, Gainesville, and the Gainesville Regional Airport, and within easy driving distance to the World Equestrian Center in Ocala—making this a truly rare opportunity for both lifestyle and location. This is more than a home—it’s a legacy farm, a working horse property, and one of the most beautiful tracts of land Columbia County has to offer.
