Broward County, Florida, is increasingly becoming a hotspot for families and individuals moving from various parts of the United States, including those who are equestrian enthusiasts. As more people look to the sunny locales of South Florida, the demand for suitable equestrian facilities and living arrangements grows.
While Wellington in Palm Beach County has long been recognized as the premier destination for equestrian families, with its plethora of properties equipped for horse lovers, what options exist for those considering Broward or Miami-Dade counties?
In popular ranch areas like Davie, Southwest Ranches, and Weston, Florida, finding a home with enough land and equipped with stables is possible but can can be quite challenging at times.
Recent market analysis shows no active except one, or sold homes in these areas over the last 12 months, contrasting sharply with Wellington, where 41 properties were available and 15 sales were closed in the past year.
However, there is a beacon of hope for those seeking the equestrian lifestyle in Broward County. One such example is the property at 11750 SW 22nd Ct, Davie, known as "The Lady of The Lake" estate. This property stands out as a perfect solution with its extensive features tailored for equestrian families. It offers 2.1 acres of land, including stables with four stalls and a tack room, paddocks, and direct access to adjacent riding trails that are part of the expansive Davie Trail system.
The estate itself is a sprawling 6291 square foot residence featuring five bedrooms, four baths, three fireplaces, an office, a den, and stylish accents from Restoration Hardware throughout. The outdoor area is an oasis featuring a pool and patio, perfect for family gatherings and relaxation.
Beyond the immediate comforts, the estate is ideally located near A+ schools, both public and private, and is just a stone's throw away from the ocean, major sports venues, shopping centers, and entertainment complexes like the Hard Rock. It also offers easy access to Miami, the Florida Keys, and Palm Beach/Wellington areas.
For equestrian families looking to relocate to South Florida, exploring options like "The Lady of The Lake" in Broward County can uncover hidden gems that provide both the lifestyle and the community suitable for horse lovers and their equine companions.
