1271 THOROUGHBRED TRAIL

Tucked away in the serene and rarely available Sanford Trails Estates, this stunning custom-built farmhouse sits on nearly 2 acres of secluded land, offering the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and modern comfort. With just under 2,600 square feet, this thoughtfully designed home is a rare gem in a community of fewer than 20 properties—ideal for those dreaming of homesteading with space for chickens, goats, pigs, or even horses. A peaceful country setting, with the vibrant energy of downtown Sanford just around the corner. With ample land and a beautifully finished home, this is more than a place to live—it's where you can build the life you’ve been dreaming of. As you turn onto the private driveway, you’re greeted by classic farmhouse shutters and a welcoming front porch made for rocking chairs and sweet tea evenings. Step through the front door into a spacious, open foyer that flows into the formal dining area—an inviting space that sets the tone for the home’s warm, farmhouse-inspired aesthetic. To your right, the first of four bedrooms currently serves as a home office, offering flexibility and privacy. A full bathroom connects to both this room and the main living area. Continue through to the heart of the home, where a tray ceiling with recessed lighting defines the living room. A cozy wood stove with a charming brick inlay and slate hearth adds rustic appeal and warmth. The open-concept design flows into the kitchen. Granite countertops stretch across the workspace, complementing stainless steel GE appliances and a gas range. A classic subway tile backsplash adds clean lines, while a herringbone accent beneath the stainless hood brings in character. A peninsula offers bar seating for casual meals or conversation, while a rich wood-tone island provides additional prep space and anchors the room with warmth. Nearby, a bay window breakfast nook is the perfect spot for family meals with views of the backyard. The private primary suite features a tray ceiling, natural light from bay windows, and a sliding barn door to a luxurious ensuite bath. Dual walk-in closets line the hallway leading to a serene bathroom with a double vanity, quartz countertops, and a spacious subway-tiled shower accented with marble. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower combo and a sleek white vanity topped with quartz. The laundry room offers abundant cabinetry and a utility sink to make everyday tasks a breeze. Step outside and discover even more to love. This 1.91-acre property is fully fenced and ready for your dream homestead. Picture chickens, goats, or horses grazing in the pasture, fresh produce from your own garden, or an orchard and future pole barn. A two-car garage and extended driveway provide ample parking, while an aluminum carport at the back offers covered storage for equipment or extra vehicles. For added convenience, a natural gas line has already been run to the back porch, making it easy to hook up an outdoor grill and enjoy backyard barbecues year-round. Two tankless gas water heaters ensure comfort, and French drains have been installed for added peace of mind. Just five minutes from downtown Sanford, you’ll enjoy easy access to local breweries, dining, retail, and events—plus Lake Monroe and the scenic Riverwalk. Here, you truly get the best of both worlds: the tranquility of rural life, with the convenience of the city just moments away.
