Location: Wellington, Florida
Price: $5.7 million
Just to the west of West Palm Beach, Florida, in the village of Wellington stands this equestrian residence. Owned by McLain Ward, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, the home sits on over five acres of land centered around well-maintained equestrian facilities and large riding areas.
The recently renovated residence is surrounded by an expansive lawn, palm trees and hedging. The home’s interior is a neutral palette of earth tones contrasted by occasional blue accents throughout. There are also exposed brick features, wood beams, flooring and cabinetry, stone and tile surfaces.
"It’s a really nice place to call home after a long day at the horse show, but it’s definitely more manageable in terms of size than other houses [in the area]," said Marley Goodman of Illustrated Properties Wellington.

Though the residence remains comfortable for a family and guests, the property’s main selling point is its world-class equestrian facilities, large acreage and convenient location.

Wellington is known for its four-month long Winter Equestrian Festival.
"It’s about 15 minutes to the horse show," Ms. Goodman said.
