Fayette County
Vista Farms – A Premier Equestrian Estate And Family Compound
County Road 23 Fayette, AL 35555
Description
Located in the heart of the South, Vista Farms is a versatile equestrian property that blends rural living with well-developed infrastructure for horses, farming, homesteading, small business ventures, or family use. Set on rolling pastures and hayfields with panoramic views, the property offers a comfortable setting to live, ride, farm, and host gatherings. Once operated as a registered Angus cattle ranch, Vista Farms has all the components needed for a luxury equestrian operation. The farm is fully fenced and divided into over 11 paddocks, lined with premium fencing and cross-fencing and equipped with automatic watering stations and cattleguards at the gates. An excellent internal road system ensures easy access throughout the property, featuring a mix of asphalt and gravel roads and trails that wind through the mature trees that decorate the landscape. Equestrian enthusiasts will love the custom-built horse stable, featuring eight stalls with steel sliding doors and individual ceiling fans, a spacious tack room, concrete floors, a half bath, and full water and electrical systems with ventilation. The stable is ideally situated at the center of the estate with a large porch overlooking the farm. Just north of the stable is a 7,500+ SqFt enclosed pole barn that would make a perfect indoor riding arena, and there is additional space for more stalls or for working cattle. There are three total homes on this property. At the main entrance of the property stands a beautiful 1880s farmhouse. This historic home, complete with a wrap-around porch and balcony overlooking a pond, features three bedrooms and 3 baths. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a carriage house with a three-car garage downstairs and a studio apartment upstairs. Nearby is a recently remodeled three-bedroom, two-bath ranch-style home tucked away and overlooking the main hay field. For those who enjoy entertaining, this estate includes a highly unique feature: a fully enclosed boathouse and lounge overlooking a 7-acre stocked fishing lake. The house includes three boat slips, electric bay doors, a full kitchen and bath, and a fireplace. The interior features floor-to-ceiling knotty pine, creating a warm setting suitable for casual gatherings, small events, or quiet relaxation. Other highlights include four additional steel and aluminum pole barns for hay and equipment storage and countless other storage buildings, offices, and other amenities. The farm features city water access, paved road frontage, and natural gas availability. The property is only ten minutes from the city of Fayette, where you’ll find boutique shops, restaurants, health care, grocery stores, vet clinics, farm and feed stores, and hardware stores. With its incredible views, high-quality pasture and hay ground, and exceptional infrastructure, Vista Farms is a turn-key legacy estate ready for a new chapter.
