Equestrians, get your riding boots on for this epic spread in Eustis, Florida . Located between Ocala and Orlando, the 70-acre estate at 22422 Lake Seneca Road features spacious main and guest houses, plus two barns for your herd and other creative endeavors. The 10,000-square-foot mansion at the center of the property was designed to house a “multi-generational family,” the listing notes, and with six bedrooms that each include an en suite bath, residents have ample space to separate and reconnect.

Now listed for $8.45 million , the stately property offers a wealth of additional amenities for your thoroughbred companions, too. Past the decorative entry gates and tree-lined drive is a fountain-clad circular motor court.



The home’s two-story facade spreads out wide, with expansive wraparound porches on both the upper and lower floors. Inside the foyer, a spiral staircase sits beneath a stylish light fixture hung from a domed ceiling with coffered detailing. There’s also a stone fireplace between built-in display shelves in the double-height living room, and stainless-steel Viking appliances enhance the gourmet kitchen that includes an oversized island with a wooden base and a casual dining area.
