Description

** Open House Sunday Nov. 8th 12:00-2:00 pm!! ** Designed by an equestrian, distinguished by an extraordinary attention to detail. Introducing Sandy Ford Road, where extensive updates and exceptional equestrian infrastructure converge across 10 scenic acres. This remarkable property is a true private sanctuary, offering an extensively renovated farmhouse, resort-inspired outdoor living, dedicated guest and entertainment spaces, and a custom Amish-built barn. With virtually every major system updated, no detail has been overlooked in creating an estate as functional as it is captivating-for both you and your equine companions alike. Driving in, a stocked pond and beautifully maintained grounds lead to the residence. Extensively remodeled in 2021, the 2,688-square-foot home offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath, complemented by a custom home movie theater and additional office accessible via the garage-perfect multi-generational potential. The kitchen is equipped with custom cabinetry, premium GE Profile appliances, a gas cooktop, and under-cabinet LED lighting. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful escape, featuring custom cabinetry and a beautifully renovated en-suite bath with marble tile, heated floors, and elegant finishes. Extending beyond the primary residence, a separate entertainment and office space offers exceptional versatility. Currently configured as a dedicated private home theater and office, this space presents endless possibilities for multigenerational living, guest quarters, a private studio, or additional arrangements tailored to your vision. The theater itself has been thoughtfully designed to deliver a cinematic experience, featuring an elaborate Dolby Atmos surround sound system, professional projection equipment, a 150-inch screen, luxury reclining seating, and a custom wood bar. It is outdoors, however, where Sandy Ford Rd distinguishes itself. Enjoy a massive heated saltwater swimming pool and spa, spacious screened enclosure encompassing over 2,000 square feet of pavers, and ample covered seating to entertain any time of year. Beyond the pool, the views are nothing short of picturesque-overlooking your expansive lush green yard, and equine companions. The property's horse facilities are as thoughtfully executed as the home. The impressive Amish-built barn, constructed in 2021, features five generously appointed stalls with mats, Dutch doors, and triple-wall kickboards. A 10-foot overhang, three attached runouts, and separate pastures provide convenient access. Additional run-in shelters are situated throughout the established pastures, complemented by three sheds and a pole barn. Every outbuilding is equipped with electric and water- an exceptionally functional feature for daily horse care and property maintenance. A comprehensive underground drainage and water collection system, installed in 2022, was thoughtfully engineered to manage stormwater and support the property's usability during periods of heavy rainfall. Behind the beauty of the estate lies an equally impressive collection of mechanical and infrastructure improvements. The residence underwent an extensive renovation in 2021, complemented by a new roof in 2024, exterior repainting in 2023, new HVAC, and a new septic pump installed in 2023. Electrical service has been upgraded from 200 to 400 amps, providing 300-amp capacity at the residence and 100-amp service for the barn and additional structures, all billed through a single meter. A transfer switch allows for generator operation during power outages, while a leased underground 120-gallon propane tank services the kitchen's gas range and provides potential for additional gas-powered appliances. Further enhancements include an energy-efficient 80-gallon hybrid water heater, a new well drilled in 2021, and a sophisticated SpringWell whole-home filtration and salt-free conditioning system specifically designed for well water. The original well remains accessible for potential future irrigation use. Wi-Fi coverage extends to the front and rear grounds and barn. The saltwater pool is smartphone-controlled, with an updated salt cell installed in 2023. Sandy Ford presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy this lifestyle without the undertaking of extensive renovations or establishing equestrian facilities from the ground up. Whether envisioned as a private equestrian retreat, a multigenerational estate, or a peaceful sanctuary with the conveniences of Jacksonville within reach, Sandy Ford Road offers the rare advantage of an established property with the flexibility to evolve alongside its next owner's vision.
