EUSTIS, FLA. (November 12, 2024) — A remarkable equestrian estate, located at 22422 Lake Seneca Road in Eustis, Florida, has been listed for $8,455,000. This 70-acre retreat offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy and convenience, making it ideal for equestrian enthusiasts, creative professionals, and families seeking a sanctuary that balances tranquility with proximity to city life. The dream property is marketed exclusively by Stacey Rollins of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Ocala office. The listing details may be viewed here.
The grand property was previously owned by the founders of Americraft Cookware, who used the guesthouse to film promotional videos and even landed their helicopter on the estate.
The main home was designed and constructed by Hofmeister Design and Construction and features 10,000 square feet of sumptuous spaces curated to accommodate multi-generational living. The newly redesigned primary suite includes a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and an oversized glass shower featuring imported Italian stone.
At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen outfitted with Viking appliances and a large kitchen island. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy sitting area, bathed in natural light, where rustic wood beams add warmth and charm. The home office, finished in rich wood, creates an ideal space for remote work, while the outdoor area offers numerous amenities, including a private pool with a soothing water feature, a summer kitchen, and a detached cabana that can be transformed into a yoga studio, gym, or music space.
A separate 2,100-square-foot guesthouse adds to the estate's allure, offering five bedrooms, three full baths, a library and an office. Complete with a new metal roof and a dedicated generator, the guest house ensures comfort and security for visitors or extended family.
The property is an equestrian enthusiast's paradise, boasting world-class facilities including a revitalized horse barn with 12x12 stalls, run-outs, Nelson waterers, and air-conditioned grooms’ quarters. Additionally, the estate features eight newly fenced paddocks, a lit outdoor arena, and 20 acres of private riding trails. The traditional red barn is outfitted with a western-themed bar and saloon.
Conveniently located between Ocala and Orlando, the estate offers the best of both worlds: a serene private retreat with easy access to nearby cities and popular destinations such as Disney World, Orlando International Airport, and the World Equestrian Center.
“This estate is truly a unique opportunity for those looking to focus on wellness, embrace their equestrian passions, or create lasting family memories,” said Stacey Rollins. “With its rich history, modern conveniences, and unmatched privacy, this home is ready for its next chapter.”
