Distinguished by swaying paddocks, rows of tropical nurseries, and the mesmerizing sound of hooves against open land, is the semi-rural pocket of Horse Country, a sprawling haven of stables, farms, and family estates with an opulent equestrian lifestyle.

Carved out of Miami-Dade's agricultural history and still dotted with nurseries that have thrived for decades, Horse Country now stands as a distinctive residential pocket where ranch homes, farms, and equestrian centers exist in harmony within the suburban fabric of Kendall.

Its estates and farmhouses are bordered by Bird Road (SW 40th Street) to the north, Sunset Drive (SW 72nd Street) to the south, SW 117th Avenue to the west, and SW 97th Avenue to the east, in proximity to the communities of Kendale Lakes, Kendall West, Olympia Heights, and Sunset.

Horse Country is home to approximately 2,590 residents as of the latest US Census.

Set forth to the serene open fields of Horse Country, and you'll immediately notice that it doesn't play by the same suburban script. 

Here, nurseries stretch for acres, horses trot behind white-fenced paddocks, and family farms sit beside majestic ranch-style homes, farmhouses, and estates, making Horse Country one of Miami-Dade's most unusual and authentic escapes, some longtime Miamians don't even know about!

But if we were to choose its defining feature, Horse Country's stables will be the ultimate choice, hands down.

Home to Newmark Horse Country Land & Stables and Bonanza Equestrian Center, this slice of the countryside invites riders of all levels to saddle up, practice, and get lost in a rhythm that feels far removed from Miami's buzz, offering weekend lessons and a picturesque atmosphere filled with horses casually crossing side roads on their way to pasture.

Its tropical nurseries and farms are just as much a draw, with rows of palms, orchids, and fruit trees on display, allowing landscapers, gardeners, and curious wanderers to shop for plants in every hue, as they bask in a relaxing ambiance that speaks of Horse Country's "country-in-the-city" allure.

Then, when you want a change of pace, it's easy to drive to the city for a weekend romp, thanks to its location just minutes from Kendall city proper!

In fact, shopping malls like Kendall Village Center and its mix of dining, retail, and entertainment, and The Palms at Town & Country, a sprawling lakeside complex, are just a short commute, making them the locals' go-to for errands, lunch and dinner dates, and retail splurges.

For green escapes, you have Kendall Indian Hammocks Park that provides nearly 200 acres of shaded trails, disc golf courses, and picnic spots tucked beneath the trees, and McMillan Park that offers a compact neighborhood retreat with open playfields and space for casual afternoons outdoors, reminding you that everyday leisure around Horse Country is more than horseback riding and nurseries.

And don't forget about the Miami-Dade County Fairgrounds in Tamiami Park if you want to join the annual Youth Fair, one of the county's most highly anticipated traditions filled with rides, food, and entertainment.

While you're there, don't think twice to keep the adventure going!

Surrounded by a few of Magic City's exciting locales, Horse Country puts you just a hop away from Olympia Heights and its quiet suburban streets and cultural roots, Sunset, which boasts convenient retail and dining strips, and Kendale Lakes and Kendall West that open the door to even more parks, neighborhoods, and family-friendly energy!

Horse Country's charm lies in its contrast, as it reflects a version of Miami that highlights life in the countryside, where nurseries and stables set the tone, suburban convenience is never inaccessible, and every neighboring community adds another layer to the journey.

Waking up to horses grazing in your backyard or driving past rows of nurseries on your way to pick up groceries? In Miami?

No, this is not a drill—it's Horse Country, a piece of Miami suburbia that doubles as a personal countryside escape.

Known as one of the most unique corners in Miami-Dade, life in Horse Country revolves around quiet mornings spent tending to stables, afternoons shopping for tropical palms at family-owned farms, and evenings in your neighbor's company, swapping stories over fence posts. 

The thing is, Horse Country isn't suburban or rural in the usual sense, but that rare in-between where acreage and agriculture are part of daily life, even as city conveniences sit minutes away.

Behind those white-fenced properties are homes that equally stand apart from typical Kendall subdivisions. 

We're talking about sprawling equestrian estates with paddocks and barns, ranch-style houses updated with Mediterranean flourishes, and custom single-family residences built to suit large parcels of land. 

Here, many lots measure an acre or more, with some stretching wide enough to host nurseries, kennels, or private training arenas. 

As expected, home prices in Horse Country reflect this uniqueness, with smaller properties that hover in the mid-$700,000s, and expansive estates with stables, nurseries, or multiple acres that easily climb into the multi-million-dollar range.

But you're not just paying for the extra space and the postcard-like ambiance.

Families in Horse Country benefit from being close to respected schools, including public options like Blue Lakes Elementary, McMillan Middle, and Southwest Miami Senior High, and private institutions like Belen Jesuit Preparatory School and Florida Christian School.

For those pursuing higher education, Florida International University (FIU) sits just west of the community.

As for your healthcare, HCA Florida Kendall Hospital and West Kendall Baptist Hospital serve the area, and smaller clinics and urgent care centers are scattered along Bird Road and Sunset Drive, major arteries outside Horse Country's borders that keep residents linked to Kendall, Coral Gables, Doral, and Downtown Miami without much hassle, along with the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) and the Don Shula Expressway.

There's no denying that Horse Country stands out as one of Miami-Dade's most distinctive living environments—one shaped by horses, nurseries, and a lifestyle of space and ease just moments from urban momentum.

End your tour of Horse Country in the saddle of a lifestyle that blends Miami convenience with country charm, as equestrian trails, tropical nurseries, and family estates set the rhythm of everyday life.

This rare Kendall enclave guarantees space, character, and a slower pace without giving up proximity to schools, hospitals, shopping, and all the essentials that keep modern life running smoothly.

If you've been searching for a community that feels worlds apart yet keeps you connected to the city, Horse Country might be your unexpected match.

With no fences to hold you back, now's the time to discover why Horse Country remains one of Miami-Dade's most distinctive places to live, grow, and thrive.
