Cons

Niche Market Appeal: The highly specialized equestrian facilities, while a strength for the right buyer, target a specific market segment, potentially leading to a longer time on market.
High Maintenance Demands: A 3.5-acre property with extensive equestrian facilities and multiple structures will incur significant ongoing maintenance, landscaping, and operational costs.
Original Construction Age: Despite extensive updates, the main house was built in 1990, which may lead some buyers to question the age of unmentioned core systems or overall structural integrity compared to newer constructions.
