Haywards Hill: A Davila Homes Equestrian Estate Collection
Sixteen estates. Ten or more acres each. One quiet corner of Ocala, built for those who measure a good life in hoofbeats and open sky.
The Concept: A life with weather in it.
There's a point where success stops being about what you can buy and starts being about how you choose to spend your mornings. Haywards Hill exists for that point. A finite collection of sixteen equestrian estates, each on ten or more acres, set inside Ocala's horse country — the only place in the world that earns the title.
This isn't a subdivision with a clubhouse. It's a small, quiet group of neighbors who understand the same thing: that a good life moves at the pace of a horse, not a calendar. Morning rides before the heat sets in. Evenings on a porch that looks out over your own pasture. A barn you can see from your kitchen window.
Designed by Sharn Wordley, a world-class show jumper and course designer who has spent his career reading terrain, land, and the way a horse and rider move through both, and built by Davila Homes, Haywards Hill is shaped by people who understand the horseman's life from the inside, not just the buyer's.
The Place: Ocala, Florida, the horse capital of the world.
Imagine starting your morning the way Ocala has for generations: feeding before sunrise, riding while the grass is still wet, and ending the day five minutes from one of the most respected equestrian venues on earth. With more than 1,200 thoroughbred farms and the country's highest concentration of horse breeding, Marion County isn't a place that's recently discovered the equestrian lifestyle — it's been living it for over a century. Mild winters, rolling bluegrass pastures, and a culture that runs on the rhythm of the stable.
The World Equestrian Center
Haywards Hill sits five minutes from the World Equestrian Center — the largest equestrian complex in the world, with championship arenas, a luxury hotel, fine dining, boutique shopping, and a full spa, all minutes from your own front gate. Spend the morning schooling in your own arena, and the evening at Stirrups or The White Willow without changing out of your boots.
