Description:
This is a start-up company located 40 miles south of Atlanta. The facility is situated on 108.5 acres of pasture and pecan groves. The facility will house an equestrian center, and two 501(c)3 entities. The marketing strategy is to offer boarding options that are not readily available in this area at reasonable rates. The facility has access to 85 acres of riding trails immediately adjacent to the property. The sale property boasts two barns (total of 43 stalls), hot wired fencing, 2 mobile homes, 2 houses, 2 ponds, 10 acres of woods, access controlled entry, and a 270x130 ft arena. Other sources of income include an after-school program, lessons, parties, government contracts, thoroughbred rehabilitation and sales, grants, horse shows and rodeos. The property does not have an equal in this area and offers amenities that cannot be found in one facility. The management team has over 45 years of combined experience in the horse industry. The lead instructor has a Bachelors degree in Equine Studies, has trained with a world class dressage rider for the last 7 yrs, and is currently working on her bronze medal in dressage. The owner/operator has spent the last 13 years working for some of Atlanta's top companies, and has a considerable amount of business and project management training. We are looking for an investor to supplement the owner financing agreement negotiated for this property. (There is an adjacent 41,600 sq ft arena also for sale/seats 1,500)
