Wellington, FL – May 24, 2012 – A second Polo Patron has made a major commitment to Wellington with the purchase of a large parcel of land in Wellington Preserve. Previously, public records show that Zacara Farm had also purchased over 100 acres in Wellington Preserve in the past year.
The most recent sale was brokered by Diane Jenkins, of Jenkins Realty, for the Seller and Brad Scherer, Atlantic Western and Carlos Arellano, Southfields Realty, for the Purchaser.
Wellington Preserve is located on 50th Street, between 120th and 130th Avenues in the Equestrian Preserve area of Wellington. The property had once been considered for the relocation of the equestrian showgrounds and subsequently sat idle for sometime due to its connection with the insolvent insurer, CLICO (Bahamas). The remaining 261 acres, some of which are currently under contract according to Diane Jenkins, the listing agent, are well positioned to attract additional polo aficionados and other equestrian uses.
