About this home
12870 W HIGHWAY 40
"Reduced Sales Price. Situated in the heart of Ocala, Florida—the Horse Capital of the World—the Kingwood Foxden property represents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional horse farm and a piece of Ocala’s rich equestrian heritage. Originally part of the legendary Hooper Farm, home to a Kentucky Derby winner, this 90-acre estate blends history, beauty, functionality, and world-class facilities in a setting that inspires from the moment you arrive. Less than five minutes from the World Equestrian Center, this breathtaking property offers the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. As you pass through the grand gated entrance and travel beneath a canopy of magnificent live oaks, there is an immediate sense that you have arrived somewhere special. The farm exudes a timeless elegance that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether your passion is dressage, hunter/jumper, eventing, breeding, sales, or simply creating a private equestrian sanctuary, Kingwood Foxden provides the foundation to achieve it at the highest level. Currently home to an Olympic short-listed dressage rider, the farm offers the kind of infrastructure, atmosphere, and functionality sought by top professionals. The beautifully updated 4,923-square-foot main residence blends luxury and comfort. Additional residences include a manager’s residence, a charming cottage/farm office, and multiple apartments for staff, guests, or clients. The equestrian facilities are exceptional, with more than 27,000 square feet of barn space including a 24-stall training barn, an 11-stall stallion barn, and a 24-stall shed-row barn. Training amenities include an 80' x 240' covered arena completed in 2022, a 100' x 200' outdoor arena completed in 2021, climate-controlled feed and tack rooms, a hay shed, and a maintenance shop. A dedicated training track is located on the adjacent 67-acre parcel, which is also available for purchase. With more than 30 paddocks, three expansive pastures, and over 30,000 linear feet of board fencing, this versatile farm offers both private use and income-producing potential. Prominent frontage on State Highway 40 adds even more value, along with its location in a federally designated Opportunity Zone. Properties of this caliber are extraordinarily rare. Kingwood Foxden is a true legacy property where championship horses are developed, businesses are built, and lifelong memories are made."

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
