In addition to offering a place for horses, equestrian property can also be used for livestock, vineyard, aquaculture and orchard operations. And if you don’t have any animals, these properties can still be used as a scenic backdrop to your home or as a space for entertaining friends and family. New York offers dozens of equestrian properties for sale, and according to Land Network data, the average listing is about $1.5 million.
Some equestrian properties come with a home that can be used as a trainer’s residence or groom’s apartment, while others have separate living quarters for horses. For instance, this 31-acre residential horse farm for sale in Bedford Corners includes a four-bedroom trainer’s house and a one-bedroom groom’s apartment on a property with both indoor and outdoor arenas.
Another option for homeowners is this equestrian community in Wellington, Florida. The gated equestrian estate has room for just a few dozen large single-family estate homes and offers amenities such as a community barn, horse stalls and an arena. In addition, this community has access to nearby horse trails, and some of the homes have private equestrian arenas.
However, it’s worth noting that this community has some challenges. It’s not uncommon for older equestrian communities to struggle with maintenance and upkeep issues, as well as a lack of funds to keep the common areas in good condition. This is especially true when the community was established many years ago and support fees have not kept pace with the original infrastructure costs. As a result, this community can be a bit on the pricier side when compared to other equestrian communities in the area. To avoid this issue, it’s important to research potential horse communities thoroughly before deciding where you want to live. If you do decide on a community, be sure to review its CC&R’s and other rules closely. You should also consider the history of management and past volunteer boards before making a decision to buy. For example, I know of at least one equestrian community where amateurish-to-deceptive decisions by prior leadership and volunteer board members saddled the community with both poor results (like substandard paving) and bad feelings between different factions of homeowners.
