Located just west of West Palm Beach is the idyllic South Florida countryside known as Wellington. One of the top equestrian communities in the country, Wellington is an oasis of calm resting on a peaceful backdrop, making for the picture-perfect destination to raise horses and practice the all-American sport of horseback riding.
Rich with tradition, Wellington lends pride of place to The International Polo Club which offers more than 57 miles of horse trails and serves as a host to a variety of worldwide equestrian events such as the Global Dressage Festival, USPA Piaget Gold Cup, Nespresso U.S. Polo Open and the Winter Equestrian Festival coined the largest horse show in the world (taking place from January to March in addition to hosting more than 40 weeks of equestrian competitions throughout the year).
The competitions are held at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center, encompassing more than 150 acres and named the centerpiece of the Wellington Winter Circuit. Outside of events hosted at The International Polo Club and the Palm Beach Equestrian Center, those who are passionate about the sport can attend the Palm Beach Masters Series hosted at Deeridge Farms. Located in the heart of Wellington, there is no better place to experience world-class double showgrounds than inside the rolling hills of this breathtaking and verdant farm.
Besides show jumping, hunting, and ponies with their players, Wellington is a dreamy sanctuary of ranch-style homes that rest on sweeping panoramic views of green pastures. Whether looking for an equestrian-style home or an estate that is just as angelic as the backdrop itself, there is something for every type of buyer, from single-family homes tucked away in gated and non-gated communities to spacious townhomes or modern condominiums.
Luxurious private communities, some featuring golf amenities, that are sought after by residents include Palm Beach Club, Paddock Park, Palm Beach Point, Pinewood, Polo West, Palm Glade Ranches and Olympia, Oakmont Estates, Mallett Hill, Meadow Wood, Aero Club, Grand Prix Village, Little Ranches, Homeland, Black Diamond, Equestrian Club, Isle at Wellington and Equestrian Club Estates.
Marrying exclusivity with comfort and opulence, Wellington allows for 360 degrees of relaxation, style, and high-end architecture and design, with homes ranging from all price points. Centrally positioned, this equine enthusiast’s dream is located in proximity to an abundance of world-class restaurants and designer shops.
The Mall at Wellington Green offers locals direct access to commercial shops and dining, along with a cinema VIP experience. Palm Beach, home to the iconic Worth Avenue, is minutes away in driving distance, and houses a kaleidoscope of haute couture storefronts and white-glove restaurants such as Bice, Buccan, Hai House, Saint Ambroeus Palm Beach, Ta-Boo and Meat Market Palm Beach.
