$8M ‘dream home’ horse farm for sale

An immigrant from Palermo, Italy, moves to the United States, opens a horse farm and builds his own home, continuing a family legacy—the epitome of the American Dream. Now his estate, 29 acres in Manorville, is up for sale. 

Located on County Road 51 just north of Sunrise Highway, Dream Come True Farms is a 29-acre equestrian facility, which is still operational and will be up until its sale. It has several stables and practice areas. Also on the property is the home, a 5,200-square-oot Georgian Manor built by its owner, Vito Giambanco. He said it’s the largest indoor horse-training arena on Long Island. 

The home is three stories with a basement. The basement includes a gym, game room, and storage area. The first floor has a center hall, library, bathroom, full kitchen, and laundry area with connection to the three-car garage. A real mahogany spiral staircase leads you to the second floor, where there are four oversized bedrooms, a loft, and a balcony. There are 11 total rooms, with four bedrooms and four baths. There are three fireplaces. 

“Unmatched in luxurious residence and large property to create your dreams here in elegance, grandeur, and location,” reads the description from Coach Realtors, who is selling the property. “Unlimited ideas for any family to either raise and care for horses or lots of land to develop here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a gated compound and breathe the fresh air on this Pine Barrens-backed estate.”

Giambanco plans to scale down as he gets older, which is why he decided to sell the property. He wants to spend more time with his family, which he said is “more important.” The listing officially went live on July 12, and is currently for sale at $8 million. Giambanco built much of the home himself over his 40 years on the property. He installed mahogany hardwood flooring, tile, and tall windows, which allow plenty of natural light.
