Things to Do

This month we feature another Things to Do article about an amazing place we found just around the corner. For almost 20 years we have driven by horses on Hood Road. Wandering Trails is the place and it is great fun for everyone. Be sure to check out other Things to Do on our website to help entertain visiting family and friends.

Season is winding down and a few car trailers have already been spotted. We wish a safe journey North and a beautiful summer to all our friends and clients soon to be leaving us.

Happy holidays to all,
Laura & Tana

REAL ESTATE TRENDS

BallenIsles Sales*
102A Palm Point

March proved to be a fairly quiet month with only 2 closings. But hold on to your hat... there are 21 properties that are under contract and showing as active with contingencies or pending. That would be a total of 38 properties SOLD! With inventory at an all time low, buyers are scrambling and prices are rising. We have learned to be very creative to ensure our sellers can purchase another property with just the right membership before finalizing a contract. CALL US... we make real estate dreams a reality.

Things to Do

Wandering Trails

Established in 1975, Wandering Trails is a family owned and operated equine facility. The facility consists of approximately 600 acres of pastures and wooded trails designated for the enjoyment of their horses and customers. They are a laid back facility, taking time to care for their horses and customers to ensure a relaxed environment for all. They offer the following services: Trail Rides, Lessons, Boarding, After School Program, Leasing, Nature Rides with overnights, and Birthday Parties.

Trail Rides

Guided trail rides are available by appointment only and you may walk, jog, and lope the horses through 600 acres of secluded Florida landscape. They will choose a mount and vary the speed of the ride according to your ability.

One hour trail ride is $30.00 per person
Two hour trail ride is $65.00 per person

We have taken family and friends on trail rides and everyone loves it. The horses are gentle, the pace is easy and the trail shaded and lovely. Oh, and you can pose for a group picture on horseback to show all your city slicker friends.
