Horseshoe Acres is one of Boca Raton's most distinctive enclaves: a private, non-gated equestrian community established in 1971 on the north side of Clint Moore Road just west of the Florida Turnpike overpass. Roughly 41 custom-built estate homes are spread across about 190 acres of lakes, lush tropical landscaping, and private horse trails. It is one of the few horse-friendly neighborhoods in Boca Raton, with oversized lots from about an acre to more than a dozen acres and street names that set the tone: Bridle Path, Surrey Lane, and Stagecoach Lane.
What sets Horseshoe Acres apart is the country atmosphere inside a city address. Homes range from intimate country residences to grand estate houses, many with private stables, paddocks, pools, and tennis courts. There is no homeowners association governing the community, which means residents enjoy acreage, privacy, and the freedom to keep horses without association or club obligations. The result is a rural, estate-scale way of life a short drive from everything Boca Raton offers.
Despite its rural feel, Horseshoe Acres is remarkably well connected. Clint Moore Road leads directly to the Florida Turnpike and I-95, and West Boca Raton's shopping, dining, golf, and schools are minutes away. The beach and the heart of Boca Raton are a comfortable drive east, while everything a horse owner needs, from feed stores to veterinary care, is close by.
