About Pine Ridge

Pine Ridge Estates is a hidden gem located in Citrus county, an equestrian/golf community created in 1972 by Deltona’s Frank Mackle Jr.  It boasts miles of acreage and is a unique upscale development with diverse styles and layout.  This beautiful community has amazing amenities to offer such as 28 miles of horseback and walking trails, a 94-acre complex with a community barn to accommodate up to 17 property owner’s horses during the building process.  It boasts a large show arena, regulation dressage ring, jumping ring, trail arena, round pen  and a small cross country area.

The complex has lighted tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, a dog park, a radio controlled plane flying  field with airstrip and shade pavilion, a state-of-the-art playground with shade cover, swings and a gazebo.  There are two meeting rooms. One larger for private events with a commercial kitchen and a smaller room with a full kitchen. The Maintenance and Administrative offices are located at the complex.

Pine Ridge is home to many who enjoy various activities. There are many clubs to join that are maintained by the resident groups.
