Niche Market Appeal: The highly specialized equestrian facilities and oversized workshop, while strengths for specific buyers, may limit the overall market appeal and potentially extend the time on market for a broader buyer pool.
Potential for Higher Operating Costs: Given the large lot size, extensive high-end systems, and numerous specialized amenities, the property is likely to incur substantial ongoing costs for utilities, specialized maintenance, and property taxes beyond the purchase price.
