Coldwell Banker says it’s listing for sale a nearly 15,000-square-foot equestrian estate, the second-largest home in the village of Wellington.

The home at 13401 55th Street South in Palm Glade Ranches is on the market for $7.9 million. It has nine bedrooms, seven fireplaces, a four-stall horse stable, a 1,520-square-foot guest home with elevator and lighted tennis courts.

The owner is Richard Fischer, who plans to move to another home on a nearby lot he owns.

The only larger home in Wellington is an estate at 12377 Indian Mound Road, Coldwell Banker said. That property has more than 25,000 square feet of living space.

In what qualifies as no surprise whatsoever, Anita Lamberti, the listing agent, said in a statement she’ll market the home at Wellington's annual Winter Equestrian Festival.
