What to Look for in a Horse Property in Texas
1. Acreage and Usability
Horse experts recommend 2–5 acres per horse, depending on usage and terrain. In Texas, soil type, drainage, tree cover, and fencing directly impact property value and usability.
Looking for horse property with arena and barn in Texas? Prioritize well-drained soil and sandy loam footing.
2. Equestrian Facilities
Pre-built infrastructure saves buyers significant time and money. Desirable amenities include:
-
Covered or open riding arenas
-
10+ stall barns with tack rooms and wash bays
-
Cross-fencing, turnouts, and paddocks
-
Horse-safe fencing (no barbed wire)
-
Hay storage, feed rooms, and equipment sheds
3. Water Access
In Texas, reliable water sources—well, pond, creek, or municipal—are essential for horses, livestock, and irrigation. Water rights and access should always be confirmed during due diligence.
Why Central Texas Horse Properties Are in Demand
Central Texas—including Brazos Valley, Hill Country, and Greater Austin—offers a blend of rural serenity, ag-exempt status, and proximity to major metropolitan areas. The climate supports year-round riding, and property taxes are often favorable thanks to agricultural or wildlife exemptions.

-
College Station horse properties with proximity to Texas A&M’s equestrian programs
