Property description

Set atop the high, rolling elevations of Dade City, Sheik Island Farm is a rare 267±-acre equestrian estate where intentional design and natural beauty align. The land’s broad contours create steady breezes and sweeping vantage points, while mature oaks and 100-foot elevations frame uninterrupted views across manicured paddocks and the shimmering waters of Buddy Lake and Lake Pasadena. The elevated setting gives the farm a sense of openness and tranquility that endures throughout the year.

Developed in the late 1990s by a family deeply involved in competitive equestrian sport, the estate was crafted over several years in partnership with Blackburn Architects, the nation’s leading experts in equine-safe, performance-focused design. Their influence is evident throughout: purposeful sightlines, natural ventilation, intuitive circulation patterns, and structural features tailored to high-level equine care.

Conceived from the outset as a complete equestrian destination, the property integrates roads, paddocks, barn orientations, natural drainage systems, and residential placements with deliberate operational flow. Paddocks are arranged for efficient movement and supervision; barns are positioned to capture prevailing breezes; and residences offer privacy while remaining closely connected to the daily workings of the farm.

A network of resurfaced shell and grassed roadways ensures smooth access between barns, arenas, and pastures in every season. Horses, staff, vehicles, and equipment move through dedicated lanes without interference, and the alignment of barns reduces steps, improves oversight, and streamlines daily routines. The result is an estate that delivers both beauty and dependable functionality—day after day, year after year.

Details

Home Features

  • The Main Barn Apartment offers a spacious two-level living arrangement designed for comfort within steps of the equine operations. The downstairs includes a warm living room and full kitchen, while the upstairs features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with laundry and storage areas, providing a private and functional residential setting for trainers, staff, or guests needing close proximity to the barn.
  • The Manager’s Apartment is a full-size private residence connected to the barn yet set apart for quiet, independent living. It includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a bright open living area, and a well-equipped kitchen with ample cabinetry and modern appliances, allowing a manager, trainer, or owner to maintain seamless oversight of the equestrian program while enjoying residential comfort.
  • The Cottage provides a peaceful, private retreat overlooking Buddy Lake, with a functional interior ideal for guests, staff, or family. It includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, two inviting living areas—one intimate and one opening to the lakefront porch—and a bright practical kitchen. A screened back porch captures breezes and long water views, extending the home’s living space outdoors.

Lot Features

  • With portions of the property rising over 100 feet above sea level—and neighboring LeHeup Hill reaching 243 feet, one of Florida’s highest natural points—Sheik Island Farm benefits from an elevated landscape that encourages steady breezes, natural cooling, and a comfortable environment year-round. The farm includes approximately 58± upland acres of intentionally shaped equestrian terrain, with elevations that promote natural air movement and help reduce humidity. Bordering both Buddy Lake and Lake Pasadena, the property enjoys consistent lakeside breezes and offers opportunities for waterfront activities. Mature oak hammocks provide shade, shelter, and ecological diversity, while long interior roadways and lanes follow the natural contours of the land to allow smooth, uninterrupted movement throughout the estate.
  • The property’s circulation and visibility patterns were purposefully designed around the existing topography, allowing the landscape itself to guide horses, people, and equipment across the farm. Gently sloping terrain creates intuitive movement pathways for handlers and horses, while breezeways, lanes, and paddock entrances are aligned with prevailing winds to enhance ventilation and comfort. Clear, natural sightlines across open pastures and elevated vantage points further improve oversight and contribute to the property’s exceptional functionality.

Horse Facility Features

  • Sheik Island Farm’s training and conditioning facilities were designed to support a full spectrum of equestrian disciplines, combining professionally engineered structures with thoughtful placement across the landscape to enhance safety, efficiency, and daily usability.
  • The professional riding arena is crafted for serious training programs and supports both English and Western disciplines with the footing, spacing, and maintenance standards expected of a high-caliber facility. Engineered footing provides stability and impact absorption, while superior runoff ensures dependable use in all seasons. Its ample dimensions accommodate flatwork, grids, gymnastic lines, and speed patterns, and the arena is strategically positioned to capture prevailing breezes and maintain clear visibility to and from the barn complex.
  • Centrally located for accessibility and continuous oversight, the round pen is ideal for groundwork, warmups, and controlled exercise. Its placement near the primary training areas enhances efficiency, while open pasture views create a calm, distraction-free environment. Mature oaks surrounding the space offer natural shade, improving comfort during warm months and reinforcing the pen’s practical year-round usability.
  • The property’s paddock and turnout system reflects deliberate design, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and a natural, enriching environment for horses. Professionally fenced paddocks feature wide interior lanes that support safe movement, and timber logs along with natural landscape elements are incorporated for light jumping and daily enrichment. Lakeside boundaries along Buddy Lake and Lake Pasadena introduce steady breezes and a cooling effect, while thoughtful gate placement reduces cross-traffic and improves ease of handling throughout the farm.
