Property Description

This premier 80-acre equestrian estate in Williamston, Michigan, blends craftsmanship, functionality, and heritage to create one of the region’s most exceptional rural properties. Built in 1999 and meticulously maintained by lifelong horseman Mark Russell, the estate enters the market for the first time, co-listed by his daughter, Katelyn Russell, who grew up training within its arenas. Their connection to the land infuses the property with meaning, history, and purpose. At the heart of the estate is a 15,000-square-foot equestrian facility engineered for high-level performance. The barn includes twenty-two 10-by-12 oak stalls with comfort-focused details, immaculate aisles, and a 60-by-140 indoor arena with 22-foot ceilings and LED lighting. A heated loft above the barn functions as an observation and command center complete with a full kitchen and baths, creating an inviting vantage point for trainers, guests, and events. Two thoughtfully designed tack rooms— one heated, one outfitted with individual lockers—meet the needs of both professionals and boarders. Modern upgrades such as a 2021 fly- control system and a 2018 steel roof highlight long-term investment and sustainability. Beyond the barn, the landscape unfolds into 45 acres of hay fields, wooded acreage ideal for trail riding or private recreation, and large fenced pastures that provide luxury turnout for horses. A 100-by-200 outdoor arena and a 30-by-48 outbuilding for equipment and storage complete the well-planned equestrian layout. Currently fully leased with equine tenants, the property offers immediate income and flexible potential. It is well suited for a private training or boarding facility, an equestrian retreat, an agricultural investment, or even a homestead for building a dream residence. Its location—just 20 minutes from Michigan State University’s Farm Bureau Pavilion and Large Animal Hospital and minutes from I-96—provides a rare blend of rural tranquility and regional accessibility. In a market where true equestrian estates are increasingly scarce, this property stands out as more than a collection of barns, acreage, and amenities. It represents intention, legacy, and a deep understanding of the relationship between land and those who steward it. For riders, investors, and visionaries, it offers the chance to continue a story already rich with meaning—and to shape its next chapter.
