WELLINGTON, Fla. | June 20, 2018 – Illustrated Properties, a member of The Keyes Family of Companies, has announced the exclusive listing of a two-property site in Wellington on behalf of two-time Olympic gold medalist McLain Ward. Marley Overman of Illustrated’s Wellington-based Overman Team is the listing agent.

Ward, an international show jumper who earned his gold medals in the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, is listing the 2169 Appaloosa Trail site for $5.7 million. He is the current top-ranked competitor in the U.S. Equestrian Federation (USEF) standings and No. 2 in the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI).

The 5.27-acre site includes a four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence that was completely remodeled in 2015 with brand-new hurricane impact doors and windows, bathrooms and kitchen. It includes a heated salt water pool with a slide.

Ward meticulously designed the 275’ x 215’ grass riding field, which features three liverpools – portable pools to practice jumping – and a built-in water jump. The site also includes a barn with 13 stalls, three wash/grooming stalls and a paved storage area, and a second barn with eight stalls, a tack room and two wash/grooming stalls.

The site is located within hacking – or riding – distance of Wellington’s Winter Equestrian Festival. It serves as the winter home of Ward’s top horses, including HH Azur, Clinta and Rothchild.

“It is an honor to bring this one-of-a-kind property to the market,” said Overman, a former top-ranked equestrian competitor who grew up in Palm Beach. “McLain Ward is the best of the best when it comes to show jumping, so this listing is ideal for any competitors who seek to emulate the best practices of a distinguished champion.”

Overman has a longstanding relationship with Ward and has represented him in other transactions. She is also exclusively listing Windsome Farms, an 80-acre equestrian site in Wellington, on behalf of a different client for $25 million.

“This listing is another example of how Marley and her team are the go-to agents for prime Wellington properties,” said Mike Pappas, CEO of Illustrated. “She is uniquely suited to showcase this stunning equestrian site.” 

In July 2016, Keyes and Illustrated Properties announced the completion of a merger between the two companies, which continue to operate under their existing brands. Overall, Keyes and Illustrated generate more than $6 billion in annual revenue from their real estate service lines.

Following the merger, Keyes and Illustrated are, together, the largest independently-owned real estate firm in Florida and a Top 30-ranked firm in the entire United States. In Palm Beach County alone, the companies have in excess of 1,100 Sales Associates and produce double the sales volume of their closest competitor.
