Property Description

STATE-OF-THE-ART KENNEL & PRIVATE COUNTRY ESTATE NEAR WORLD EQUESTRIAN CENTER! Rare opportunity to own an exceptional, professionally constructed block kennel and private estate just minutes from the WEC and I-75. Built in 1990, the 13-unit indoor/outdoor kennel was designed for safety, sanitation, and functionality. Kennel features include epoxy-finished walls and floors, individual floor drains, secure Mason kennel panels, steel doors, a dedicated birthing room, spacious puppy accommodations, laundry area, bathing sink, and a separate bathroom. The impressive 29' x 20' main lobby of the kennel boasts 20' ceilings, offering ample space for training and handling. NEW 4.5-ton HVAC unit (2026). Separate commercial electric service and septic system. Construction blueprints and kennel inspection documentation are available. The established 48-year West German Shepherd breeding business, including titled, DNA-verified pedigrees, is negotiable. A rare opportunity for established breeders or those looking to create a premier kennel facility. Boarding use requires applicable zoning board approvals. Enjoy the privacy of country living with resort-style amenities on this gated estate. The residence is designed by architect Walter R. Baker Jr. and built by contractor James Bowden in 1990. Both Kennel and residence feature wired for backup generator, lightning rods. Inside, vaulted wood ceilings and expansive windows bring tons of natural light into the living spaces. The gourmet kitchen is designed for entertaining, featuring an oversized quartz island, smart appliances, including double dishwashers and refrigerators, plus generous prep space and seating. Three en suite bedrooms ensure comfort and privacy. The primary suite offers a sitting area, walk-in closet, an updated bathroom, private laundry room, and outdoor access to a gazebo and fenced outdoor retreat. Enjoy the Florida lifestyle with a swimming pool, casita, and covered outdoor entertaining areas. The 10-acre grounds are perimeter-fenced, with ample pasture for horses, cattle, and other animals, plus a large fenced garden and established fruit trees. Multiple outbuildings provide flexibility for guests, extended family, worker accommodations, hobbies, or potential business uses. Recent improvements to the residence include roof new in (2022), fresh paint, and professional landscaping. Additional features include a deep well with an owned water purification system, multiple septic systems, a climate-controlled attached extra-deep two-car garage, multiple sheds, covered RV parking with RV hookups and cleanouts, and extensive parking for vehicles, trailers, and equipment. Elevated topography offers scenic views of rolling pastures and mature trees. This property offers a peaceful, secluded setting, with shopping, restaurants, private jet airport, and major destinations, including Ocala, Gainesville, Orlando, and Tampa, all accessible via nearby I-75. A truly distinctive property combining specialized kennel facilities, established business potential, acreage, and private estate living in one remarkable offering
