Palm City Farms offers a great outdoor lifestyle for young children as well as adults. There are so many things for families to do together.....especially on a farm. Those things are very important today as we need to keep our children busy doing family things.
My grandchildren have grown up on our equestrian farm. The weekends always were popping with horse activities. Hattie, as shown in this picture, started jumping at the early age of six or seven. This was her first competition and it was a hot day. Hattie was so proud of herself. She was actually burning up in her coat but took her pony into the winners place. I just remember that this event was packed with people from all over South Florida. I was very proud of Hattie and her 'True Grit". She loves horses and animals to this day. At this time in her life, she was going to be a horse jockey.
HATTIE AND MAMA CAROL ....and the winner is HATTIE
The nice property is zoned for agriculture and can have horses. It has plenty of acres and space for a Gentleman's Farm. It also can just be a Gentleman's Estate. Located in a quite neighborhood, this estate has beautiful landscaping and a 1500 sq ft. guesthouse. It is very rare to find this much property within walking distance of a brand new Publix shopping center. The neighborhood is laid back and a little lazy. It is a great area and a great place to have peace as you enjoy the large pool and its privacy.
I can tell you from my own experience. No one wants to hear the word colic spoken on their farm. Even though as much as you care for your horses, it happens sometimes. I always look when I go by my paddocks to see what my horses are doing.
It is only natural for a horse to roll...Especially after they receive a good Wash off. I have been so proud of my good wash jobs and look at how pretty they look...all brushed and clean. Ha! One good roll and its all over. But when a horse rolls and carries on for any length of time, it is not a good sign and might be colic. I also worry when they are down and will not get up for a while. Sometimes the are just sunning and sometimes they may not be. It is something that has to be watched.
Colic is responsible for more deaths in horses than any other disease of horses. Out of every 100 horses, 4 to 10 of those horses, on average, will colic during the year. Fortunately, 80% of those colics are called simple colics because most horses respond to medical treatment or get better without any treatment. Only 2-4% of colics are severe enough to require surgery. If you have a horse that has developed colic in the past, that horse is three times more likely to colic again than a horse that has not previously had an episode. Although all breeds can be affected, Arabians and thoroughbreds seem to have an increased number of colics compared to other breeds. Diet can play a role in colic as course fiber or course roughage with low digestibility can lead to impaction colic. Sometimes too much grain can cause colic.
Since my horse farm is in Palm City, Florida,
sand is a constant problem.
It is always a good thing to have emergency numbers of more than one vet posted at your barn for emergencies. I have experienced the problem and scare of not getting a vet in time. No matter when colic happens, it seems that it is always best to have several contact numbers available to ensure immediate help.
Like the great outdoors ? Be right in the middle of one of the most beautiful places in the Appalachain Mountains. Consider retirement in Tellico Plains, Tennessee. This 29 acres is available for $246,500. Located within minutes of Cades Cove and Gatlinburg, this little town is loaded with things to do. Visit Bald Falls, hike in the Cherokee National Forest, ride you bike over the Cherahala Skyway and enjoy the gorgeous views. This is really God's County. This property is about 8 miles from the village of Tellico and 30 minutes to Knoxville Airport. If you have not been to Tellico Plains Village, please stop and enjoy the Library and see the history of Tellico Plains. You cannot leave without a visit to the local Bakery. It is the best. Additional 10.76 acres are available across from the 29 acres. Owner/Broker

I have lived in Palm City, FLorida for 13 years. I have enjoyed the beaches on Hutchinson Island and loved living on my equestrian farm located in Palm City Farm. Palm City is truly "Old Florida".
I graduated from the University of Alabama with a BS degree in Commerce. I joined my family business and was active in management for several years. Later in Birmingham I managed my own Design Firm for several years. I fell in love with Florida while visiting my family in Key Biscayne. Florida was a second home for me for several years and later I decided to make it my primary residence. I wanted the Old Florida lifestyle rather than the hustle of the city. However, I like to be located near good shopping. Palm City had all of my requirements. I have worked in real estate since the early 90's and have seen good changes to this area. The completion of the beautiful Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart made access to all areas so easy and such a beautiful view. I am partial because my husband was the project manager of this beautiful bridge. My interest in the equestrian lifestyle started when I visited Sante Fe. I immediately returned and purchased acreage in Palm City Farms and, along with my husband, created an equestrian breeding farm for Warmbloods. I have also been busy this past year acquiring my Tennessee Brokers license and have established my real estate company, Carol Barron-Cross Reality. I have Tennessee properties to sell that are just beautiful. See my web page links at: http://www.mysunflowerfarmfl.com/ or http://www.agreathorseproperty.com/ or http://www.getequestrianproperty.com/

Since the early 90's I have worked in real estate. As my love for horses and everything about them increased, I focused on vacant land and farms in Palm City Farms and all of Martin County. Palm City has so much to offer to the equestrian community.
The available farms and vacant land are so beautiful. Agricultural tax exemptions are available from Martin County plus homestead exemption, if your declare your permanent residence here. It is an everyday experience in Palm City Farms to hear and see beautiful Sand Hill cranes fly over to the lakes and paddocks. Friendly wildlife, trails, sounds of horses running in their paddocks, beautiful crossfencing, green grass, blue skies, Old Florida beauty and, I think, great people reside in Palm City and for sure my neighbors in Palm City Farms.

I have known Carol every since she moved to Florida. I had the pleasure to work with her and construct her home on Hutchinson Island and was later asked to build her equestrian farm in Palm City, Florida.
