Padua Stables Ocala Florida

Every once in a while in life something amazing and out-of-the-ordinary happens. Just such a thing occurred in the past few weeks. While we are fortunate to represent some fabulous properties in Florida, each of those is special in its own right, a most spectacular farm came our way and I am thrilled to be able to represent it and announce its availability. World-famous Padua Stables of Ocala, Florida is available for purchase. It is listed for $35,000,000. Numerous Graded Stakes winners and 4 Breeder's Cup champions received their early training at this most prestigious facility that enjoys approximately 763 acres of gorgeous land. As one approaches this prized farm, you are greeted by meticulously kept walls and fencing that surround the land and access is granted through one of four decorative, gated entries. Padua is known for the rolling, gracious countryside it covers as well as for being rich in sunlight, spring-fed ponds, granddaddy oaks and limestone. The 8000 square foot main residence is designed for entertaining with a gorgeous, large pool and lanai area overlooking the largest lake of the property. Exceptionally nice private housing for guests, managers and staff (13 residences in all) plus a 7000 square foot dormitory with 22 rooms allow for a large-scale operation. There are eleven pristine barns with a total of 202 stalls, as well as a ¾-mile dirt track and a 1-mile turf track and numerous covered hot walkers and round pens. Facilities are in place for a stallion-breeding center, training facility, broodmare/foaling operation and a wonderful main executive office building. Additionally there are 3 metal maintenance buildings, 3 greenhouses, underground utilities, extensive site improvements and the farm is being sold with full farm equipment, tools and office machinery in place.
