Ocala Florida is the county seat of Marion County and as such is the hub of activity. Centrally located between Orlando, Tampa, and Gainesville, Ocala is close to it all.
Known for its equestrian flare and thoroughbred horse farms, Ocala is one of the horse breeding capitols of the nation. Rolling hills and pastures, misty meadows with towering oak, and palatial estate homes characterize some of what Ocala has to offer, but not all.
