Rural community in the Horse Capital of the World

The community of Rolling Hills is surrounded by farmland about 20 miles west of Ocala, the Horse Capital of the World. The country neighborhood is growing quickly, with new construction houses built along a mix of paved, lime rock and dirt roads. “They were subdivided back in the 1960s, and I believe they thought Disney would be built nearby,” says local Wendy Fisher, a Realtor with Brije Homes. Walt Disney heavily considered Marion County as the site of his future world-famous resort; however, it ended up in Orlando, and the county’s pastoral, equestrian culture flourished instead.

A broad range of prices for vintage and new construction homes

Rolling Hills was pre-plotted with acre lots, and most are still that size. The oldest homes include ranch-style and manufactured houses built between the 1970s and 1990s. Prices span a broad range. Smaller, contemporary farmhouses and cottages are priced in the $300,000s and low $400,000s, while contemporary homes with larger floorplans – upward of 2,000 square feet – list in the high $400,000s and can climb to more than $900,000. All properties are on well and septic systems. Fisher says, for the most part, the landscape in Rolling Hills is high and dry, but there are small special flood zones, and any properties within those would need flood insurance. Hurricane season ranges from early June to late September.

Rolling Hills is surrounded by recreational opportunities

Equestrian facilities surround this community, with Grandview Clydesdale Farm & Tours to the south and LCH Equestrian at Sunflower Hill Farm on the east. For larger shows or a night out, The World Equestrian Center is just under 15 miles from the heart of the neighborhood. The complex is a family-friendly hub of shopping, dining and entertainment. When there isn’t a show happening, there’s another event, such as the annual Ocala Food & Wine Festival.

Rolling Hills is at the intersection of several protected natural spaces, such as the Pruitt Trail, a section of the Florida National Scenic Trail that winds through Halpata Tastanaki Nature Preserve. The trailhead is nearby on Marion County Road 484, guiding local hikers, bikers and horseback riders through over 8,000 acres of swamp and pinelands. Its southside stretches the banks of the Withlacoochee River, popular for fishing. Kids can learn to hunt at Ross Prairie State Forest, less than 10 miles away. National destination Rainbow Springs State Park is just over 10 miles away with waterfalls and crystal-clear springs, sought-after for snorkeling.

Students in Rolling Hills attend school in nearby Dunnellon

Rolling Hills is served by Marion County Public Schools. The neighborhood is zoned for Dunnellon’s local schools. Dunnellon Elementary, Dunnellon Middle and Dunnellon High each score a B-minus on Niche. The Cambridge AICE (Advanced International Certificate of Education) is offered at the high school, allowing students to take AICE courses and earn college credit with each passed AICE exam.

Thoroughfares, the closest major airport and the nearest 24-hour hospital

Marion County Road 484 and Florida State Road 40 are the main thoroughfares in Rolling Hills. The latter is a direct route to Ocala, 20 miles east. Ocala International Airport and HCA Florida West Marion Hospital are under 15 miles away.

Essentials, fast-casual joints and fresh produce are within a 10-mile drive

Essentials like grocery stores, gas stations and doctors’ offices are within a 10-mile drive on Florida State Road 200, a growing commercial corridor that intersects Marion County Road 484. It’s lined with conveniences like banks and pharmacies, as well as various chain restaurants, including local favorites like Beef O’ Brady’s and Cody’s Original Roadhouse. The family-owned Cannon Farm is also within a 10-mile drive, selling fresh produce, from watermelons and cantaloupe to sweet corn and peanuts.
