We show every listing that we feel will fit your needs, regardless of whether it is our listing or another agent’s.

We take our responsibility to you seriously. We will do everything possible to find or sell your farm.

Nowhere else will you find Ocala’s superior footing, beautiful weather, & countless equine competitions.

From pleasure riders and amateurs to professional equestrians, Ocala has long been a preeminent equestrian destination. However, outside the stables, we’re equally excited to see Ocala grow and thrive in exciting ways with new dining, shopping, arts, entertainment, and outdoor adventures suitable for all ages.

Consider this publication your personal invitation to explore the incredible opportunities that Ocala and Marion County have to offer in the coming year. Sharing these stories and our vibrant community with you is both a pleasure and a privilege.

The cover artwork was designed by Sally Chapman of the Chapman Collection and depicts the equine family owned by OHP. These horses are not just our companions; they are champions in their own right, having competed in some of the world’s most prestigious three-day events. From the thrilling jumps at Burghley, to the challenging courses of Pau, Maryland, Luhmühlen, Aachen, Boekelo, and Kentucky — each horse has a tale of bravery and excellence.
