Nestled in the heart of Central Florida, Marion County is one of the U.S.’s fastest growing areas. With its county seat at Ocala, the Horse Capital of the World, Marion County’s agricultural industry is booming, with miles of farm and equine land stretching just over 1600 square miles. With a population just over 300,000, you can have the feel of a small, rural area while still enjoying Ocala’s city attractions. Or, venture out! Marion County’s location is ideal for visiting any of Florida’s epic wonders, like Orlando, Daytona Beach, Tampa or the Gulf Coast.
Curington Homes builds custom homes throughout Marion County, from Ocala and Belleview to Dunnellon, Summerfield, Anthony, Citra, Ocklawaha, and Weirsdale, we proudly build custom homes throughout Marion County.
Ocala and Marion County are world-renowned horse country — more than 1,600 square miles of rolling pasture, farms, and equine land. It's a rare blend of rural space and city amenities that draws homeowners from across the country.
The World Equestrian Center has made Ocala a global destination, and demand to live nearby keeps climbing. We build custom homes designed to fit the luxury standard of WEC-adjacent communities like Golden Ocala and Golden Hills.
From Bellechase to Meadow Wood Farms, Marion County is built for acreage living. We design custom homes and mini-farms with room for barns, arenas, and paddocks — a true equestrian property tailored to your horses and your lifestyle.
Marion County isn't only about horses. Communities like On Top of the World offer golf, resort amenities, and active-adult living — and we build custom homes to match every stage of life.
