One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This 6.28-acre horse farm for sale in Shaw Farms, Alachua County, Florida, includes a center aisle barn, dressage arena, jumping course, and paddocks, all on a gently sloping hilltop lot minutes from San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park's equestrian trail system. It's a turnkey equestrian property built for anyone searching for a horse farm near Gainesville, a horse property close to the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, or a home with acreage in North Central Florida. Picture this. You pull up the drive at golden hour, and the sky over your own gently sloping pasture turns every shade of orange and pink you can imagine. That's every single evening on this hilltop property in Shaw Farms, one of Alachua County's most respected equestrian communities. The home is built with a cypress frame and durable Hardie plank siding that stands up to Florida weather year after year. Step inside and the great room stops you in your tracks. Soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and solid wood interlocking panels reminiscent of shiplap anchor the main living area, creating a space that feels grand and grounded at the same time. The kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together as one open concept great room, so you're never cut off from the conversation, the view, or the sunset outside the window. AquaGuard Performance Flooring covers every room in the main living areas, waterproof, pet-proof, and kid-proof, which is exactly what you want on a working horse property. Crystal doorknobs add a refined touch throughout. The kitchen has with SMEG stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, generous counter space, and windows that pull the pasture right into the room. Two primary suites each have an oversized walk-in closet and a private en-suite bath with marble counters, dual vanities, tile, and a separate tub and shower. Step out onto the front or back porch and the view does the talking: your own riding facilities and pasture spread out below the hill, with San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park's equestrian trails just beyond your fence line. The center aisle barn matches the house in quality and thought. Six 12x12 stalls with automatic waterers and attached 12x12 individual turnouts. Two tack and storage rooms. Three separate entries. High ceilings throughout. It's already plumbed for a future bathroom and laundry, so the next phase is ready when you are. Between the jumping course, dressage arena, and paddocks, this property already has the infrastructure most horse owners spend years building. The backyard is no-climb fenced, keeping pets close and safely separated from the paddocks. Downtown Alachua and the Town of Tioga are minutes away for everyday shopping, dining, and errands. Gainesville is a short drive south, close to Fresh Market, Celebration Pointe, and Butler Plaza. Ichetucknee Springs State Park is about 30 miles northwest for tubing and swimming, and Ginnie Springs is roughly 25 miles away. Both the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast are within a two-hour drive. The World Equestrian Center in Ocala is 52 miles south, close enough for regular show seasons, and HITS Ocala is approximately 45 miles away. UF Health Shands Hospital and North Florida Regional Medical Center are both a short drive from Shaw Farms. Some properties give you the house. Some give you the barn. This one gives you both, wrapped in a setting where every sunset feels like it was made for you.
