This 17-acre equestrian estate in Ocala, Florida, is designed to enhance both functionality and aesthetics while supporting the daily operations of a working farm. The property includes a private residence, a farm staff mobile home, and a multi-purpose barn used for private equestrian activities, entertainment, and riding lessons. Phase 1 focuses on defining the entry sequence and optimizing circulation for public access, horse trailers, and farm deliveries. A densely planted entry mound directs vehicles while creating a sense of arrival and enclosure. A fully native and horse-friendly planting palette enhances the site, with foundation plantings at the barn, a shade canopy for cooling, and strategically placed trees to screen adjacent properties. A bosque of trees forms a shaded courtyard, providing an inviting gathering space. Designed in collaboration with Equestrian Gardens, the landscape balances practicality with a strong sense of place, ensuring a seamless connection between the natural environment and the estate’s equestrian activities.
