This riverfront estate in Wilsonville, Oregon, was designed and built over 10 years for the breeding and training of sport horses – specifically Warmbloods, a middle-weight group known for its athleticism, trainability and calm nature. Called Wild Turkey Farm, the equestrian facility encompasses 215 acres set along the Willamette River.
Beyond the gated entrance, a long winding drive weaves through landscaped grounds containing fenced paddocks, barns and buildings such as a breeding lab. A stone-clad owner’s residence with an infinity pool surveys the pastureland and wooded acreage.
The extensive facilities include fenced paddocks, indoor and outdoor arenas and multiple barns.
LUXE
Practice grounds include outdoor and indoor arenas, viewing areas and ample trailer parking. The five light-filled barns include 97 stalls with private runs and all the accoutrement – feeders, automatic waterers, grooming stalls, vet rooms and tack rooms.
Helping keep track of the millions of dollars’ worth of horses that come through the farm are 106 security cameras placed throughout the property.
Gleaming wood surfaces give the light-filled barns the feel of a luxury resort for horses.
LUXE
The more than 33 pastures are enclosed by four- and five-rail fencing. Water rights from the river keep the site irrigated. A pond collects run-off in the winter.
An arched portico and arched front door mark the entrance to the two-story main house, which centers on an open plan great room with a massive stone fireplace. Designed for entertaining, the space adjoins an informal dining area and the center island kitchen. The formal dining room contains another fireplace.
A wall of windows brings views into the two-story great room in the main residence.
