Lot Features

• This estate is positioned on one of the most unique and functional equestrian sites in Northeast Ohio, perched at the highest elevation in Geauga County and directly bordering the protected Holden Arboretum. The land offers exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and direct access to miles of maintained riding trails that can be reached from the property itself—an increasingly rare amenity for equestrian owners seeking both convenience and long-term land protection.
• The acreage is thoughtfully laid out with gently rolling, well-draining terrain designed to support year-round equestrian use. Multiple turnout paddocks are strategically placed for efficient rotation and daily management, with water and electric service extended to the pasture areas for added convenience. All pastures are enclosed with newly installed three-rail cedar fencing, providing safety, durability, and a classic estate aesthetic. In addition, 8-foot-tall poplar privacy fencing has been installed in key areas to enhance seclusion, reduce wind exposure, and visually screen the property while maintaining an open, pastoral feel.
• An 8-foot-wide access road extends to the rear of the property and connects directly to the Holden Arboretum trail system, allowing for easy movement of horses, equipment, and riders while preserving separation between residential and equestrian operations. The elevated topography provides excellent drainage and long sightlines across the property, contributing to both functionality and visual appeal in all seasons.
• Anchoring the equestrian infrastructure is a fully insulated indoor riding arena measuring approximately 100’ x 180’, constructed with steel clear-span trusses to eliminate interior support posts and maximize usable riding space. Designed to accommodate multiple disciplines, the arena offers true four-season functionality in Northeast Ohio’s climate. A full perimeter of see-through garage doors surrounds the arena, flooding the space with natural light and creating an open, airy environment rarely found in indoor facilities. When opened, these doors provide natural ventilation and deliver a seamless indoor-outdoor riding experience, allowing riders to enjoy the feel of being outside while remaining protected from the elements.
• The arena’s scale, insulation, and light-filled design make it suitable for training, conditioning, and daily riding throughout the year, significantly reducing seasonal limitations and operating challenges. The thoughtful placement of the arena within the landscape ensures both convenience and separation, minimizing noise and dust while maintaining visual connection to the surrounding property.
• Together, the land and indoor arena form a cohesive, highly functional equestrian environment—one that prioritizes horse health, rider comfort, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability. This is not a hobby setup, but a purpose-built equestrian property designed to perform in every season and remain irreplaceable over time.
