Welcome to 721 Gowin Road, a 15.19-acre equestrian estate in LaFayette, Georgia. It was built for the professional horseman or horsewoman who wants to own and operate a top-tier training, lesson, boarding, or breeding business from home. It's rare to find this much working equine infrastructure in one place: A 20,196 sq ft indoor riding arena with an attached client event space and 10 stalls, a separate 31-stall barn, breeding stocks, on-site staff and guest housing, and a 5,059 sq ft main residence. It all sits on gently rolling, board-fenced pasture with a private pond and sweeping long-range mountain views. THE MAIN RESIDENCE The updated painted-brick main home has 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across 5,059 sq ft on two levels. The first floor covers 2,800 sq ft. A covered front porch leads to a bright foyer with a glass-paneled wood entry door, sidelights, and custom knotty pine doors. Wide-plank wood floors run through the spacious living room, where large windows look out over the grounds. The living room and the separate dining room share a see-through brick fireplace with gas logs and a rustic wood mantel. The kitchen has crisp white cabinetry with glass-front uppers, butcher block countertops, and a large center island with seating. It's equipped with stainless double wall ovens, a range, a microwave, and a French-door refrigerator, and it includes a breakfast area and two pantries. A private study just off the foyer makes a great home office for managing the business, with room for a desk, conference seating, and client meetings. The main-level primary suite has hardwood floors, sliding barn doors, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a furniture-style double vanity and a marble-look walk-in shower. A second main-level bedroom, a full bath, a half bath, and a laundry room complete the first floor. Off the kitchen area, a covered deck and an open deck give you a spot for morning coffee with a view of the pastures. The second floor covers 2,259 sq ft. It has three generous bedrooms, two full baths, and a large recreation room with a sitting area and a wet bar. This is a great space for family, guests, or entertaining after a long day in the barn. A 2-car attached garage (581 sq ft) and a 2,023 sq ft full unfinished basement add plenty of storage, workshop space, and room to expand. THE INDOOR ARENA & TRAINING CENTER Beyond the main residence, the heart of the operation is a 20,196 sq ft indoor riding arena, about 168 feet long, with a high steel-framed ceiling and plenty of overhead lighting. It lets you ride, train, teach, and host clinics every day of the year, rain or shine, early morning or late evening. A board-fenced working ring inside the arena gives you a controlled space for schooling, groundwork, and lessons. Along the outside of the arena, a long covered overhang shelters 10 stalls, so horses are steps from the ring. Two covered patios, about 60x8 and 55x8, run along the arena and give you shaded space for tacking up, grooming, bathing, and viewing. The arena connects to a stunning barnwood great room that works as the facility's clubhouse and client lounge. Soaring ceilings, reclaimed-style wood walls, tall windows, and a wood-burning stove make it warm and welcoming. It includes a full kitchen, a large dining area, and a bathroom. This is the space where your business meets its clients: host clinic lunches, owner and sponsor gatherings, awards nights, schooling shows, and private events without ever leaving the property. THE BARN, BREEDING & SUPPORT FACILITIES A separate 86x36 barn (3,096 sq ft) holds 31 more stalls and brings the property's total to 41. The barn also has plenty of room for a workshop, feed, and equipment. Four breeding stocks outside handle veterinary work, farrier visits, and breeding, which makes the property well suited to a breeding or foaling program. A 70x24 open-front equipment shed (1,680 sq ft) keeps tractors, trailers, and implements out of the weather. Board fencing lines most of the property. It frames the pastures and paddocks, and a gravel drive winds past a fenced pond on the way to the main home and facilities. The gently sloping pasture provides grazing and turnout, and the land offers long views of the surrounding valley and the mountain ridgelines beyond. STAFF, TRAINER & GUEST HOUSING A serious operation needs its people on site, and this property has room for them. The 4-unit efficiency complex (1,328 sq ft) has long covered decks along both sides, about 83x6 each. Each unit gives a barn manager, working student, assistant trainer, or visiting client their own private space steps from the barn. The two-level barndominium adds 3,410 sq ft: 1,716 sq ft on the first floor and 1,694 sq ft on the second. The main level has a kitchen, a dining and family area, a living room, and a laundry room, all opening to a 48x8 deck and a 48x8 covered patio. The upper level has four bedrooms, a study, a sitting room, a full bath, a half bath, and a storage room. It makes an excellent residence for a head trainer, a manager's family, extended family, or guests. THE SETTING The estate sits on a quiet road outside LaFayette, surrounded by rolling Northwest Georgia countryside, with the privacy and room an equestrian operation needs. It's also convenient to I-75 for hauling to shows and welcoming clients from Chattanooga, Atlanta, and beyond. The property is served by a well and septic. Whether you're launching your own training program, expanding an established boarding or lesson business, building a breeding operation, or creating a private equestrian retreat, 721 Gowin Road has the facilities, housing, and setting in place. Properties with this level of equine infrastructure seldom come to market. Schedule your private tour today.
