Everything along and south of 466 is golf cart assesible and what a fun way to traverse TV. Don't forget the Polo fields.

If you find a home backing up to the farm property I'd strongly recommend you find a way to secure it ASAP. This is a premium location unlike any other I'm aware of here in paradise.
Good to know the distances. It's difficult to guage it from the big street map I purchased from the Mercantile store.

Since you are very familiar with the area, how big in feet is the "drop off" from the back of those homes bordering the trail down to the actual horse farm area? It's commonplace for Florida to be flat but this looks like the house is quite "elevated" above the pasture land or woods. Any clue at all?
Again, thank you.
