Nestled within a pristine Florida landscape, White Fences provides solitude and privacy. The serenity of an unspoiled landscape is a rare find these days, but White Fences offers just that.
White Fences is a gated equestrian oasis, located just five miles outside of Wellington, renowned as the winter equestrian capital of the world and southern home to world-class polo and the International Polo Club Palm Beach, and the Winter Equestrian Festival, the world¿s biggest horse show. White Fences is all about horses, dressage, polo, show jumping and pleasure riding.
The property consists of 10 acre grounds, completely fenced and private, a 2-story European-style main house and a detached guest house.
The main home boasts a total square footage of 5,600 sq ft, three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. All bedrooms are on the ground floor, to allow for easy access to the 40ft free-form swimming pool and Jacuzzi. The second floor features an open plan living area with panoramic views of the surrounding unspoiled landscape, a kitchen and an office, which can easily be converted into an extra bedroom, and a so called Florida-room or ¿winter garden¿, that adds charm and openness to the upstairs. All rooms feature country-style wood floors. When stepping out onto the 270 degree wrap- around balcony, the full beauty and serenity of the property unfolds. The only noise to be heard is that of birds chirping, frogs croaking and the snickering of horses.
The detached, 1,120 sq ft guest house with a full bath and a loft can also serve as an office or a groom¿s quarter. Another 700 sq ft shed-like building in the rear of the property can be used as a studio or workshop.
The 10-acre park surrounding the home and guest house features an abundance of native South Florida tropical trees and foliage. The beauty and charm of the park stems from its natural setting, and minimalistic human touches. There is plenty of room to build a barn with up to 24 stalls and indoor and / or outdoor arenas. To the east of the property is a water retention area, with no future plans for development. To the west is a lovely Cypress stand which is environmentally protected.
The adjacent 10-acre property is also available and offered at US$ 2.1 million and consists of a 2-story 4 bedroom, 3 baths home with a pool. In addition, it features a dressage ring, a barn with 10 stalls and a groom¿s quarter. Combined these properties would make a magnificent estate for any serious horse lover.
The purchase price includes all, mostly antique north-German furniture.
While White Fences location provides solitude and privacy desired by many, it is conveniently located to either of South Florida's major highways (I-95 and the Florida Turnpike), West Palm Beach International Airport and the rest of Palm Beach County¿s countless restaurant, golf courses and beaches.
