Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Bring your horses, embrace the open space, and enjoy the freedom that comes with OUE-1 zoning. Whether you envision a charming hobby farm, a private equestrian retreat, or a peaceful country estate with room to grow, this property offers endless possibilities. With plenty of space to roam and create, you'll enjoy the perfect blend of rural charm and everyday convenience. Tucked away along a picturesque, tree lined drive, this peaceful 5 acre homestead in Wellington Acres offers a rare blend of privacy, charm, and equestrian lifestyle. Set on Morningside Drive, the property welcomes you with a classic Old Florida residence featuring a charming front porch overlooking a pond where two beautiful horses roam freely, an everyday scene that feels nothing short of magical. The home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a thoughtfully updated kitchen complete with granite countertops and ample cabinetry. The adjoining dining area is perfectly positioned beside a large window, capturing views of the land and water beyond. Built in 1971, the home is solidly constructed and has performed exceptionally well through recent hurricane seasons, offering both character and peace of mind. For equestrian enthusiasts, the property includes a four stall barn with a dedicated tack room, along with installed fans to ensure comfort during the warmer months. The grounds allow horses to roam and even enjoy the pond, creating a truly special environment. Additionally, the property features a fully functional doggy dorm and playground, currently operating as a dog daycare and boarding business. Whether you choose to continue the existing operation or simply enjoy it as a private haven for your animals, the possibilities here are both practical and inspiring. A unique opportunity to own a serene, versatile property that captures the essence of country living with thoughtful amenities already in place.
