NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Concierge Auctions announced today that reserves have been met and bidding has officially opened at US$7.5 million for Smokey Willow Farm – a turnkey equestrian compound encompassing 77+ acres in the heart of Ocala’s world-renowned horse country. The property will be auctioned in cooperation with Rene’ Bartum of eXp Realty LLC. Bidding is open via the firm’s online marketplace and will culminate live online on 29 October.
Featuring four residences, premier training facilities, and direct adjacency to the celebrated World Equestrian Center (WEC), Smokey Willow Farm – AKA 2599 NW 100th Avenue – offers an unmatched opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts and investors alike.
Anchoring the estate is an over 3,000 square-foot primary residence with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a heated saltwater pool for resort-style relaxation. Additional accommodations include a three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage, a one-bedroom in-law suite with full kitchen and garage access, and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom staff mobile home—perfect for guests, trainers, or farm management.
Beyond the residences, Smokey Willow Farm delivers a fully operational equestrian facility of remarkable scale. Three barns provide a total of 41 stalls, while a covered arena with full lighting, a half-mile exercise track, and a five-horse hot walker support all riding and training disciplines. Eight large pastures, 24 individual paddocks, board fencing, and ancient shade oaks create a serene yet highly functional environment for breeding and competition horses alike.
“Smokey Willow Farm represents the very best of Ocala’s equestrian lifestyle,” said Katie Lawless Ballard, VP of Business Development at Concierge Auctions. “With its scale, turnkey training facilities, and immediate proximity to the World Equestrian Center, it’s a rare offering that combines both luxury residential living and world-class horse operations. This is an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking a legacy property in one of the most important equestrian markets in the world.”

Located adjacent to the World Equestrian Center and just 15 minutes from Ocala International Airport, Smokey Willow Farm enjoys a strategic position within America’s premier equestrian hub. The region’s limestone-rich soil produces champion horses, while year-round temperate weather enables continuous training.
