Horse properties are half real estate and half operation. Rick vets water, fencing, footing and tax status the way a rancher would, with the polish of a luxury broker.
Every submarket has trade-offs: commute, water, soil, HOA restrictions and price per acre. Rick will walk you through where your goals fit best.
The best horse properties often trade before they list. Ask to join Rick's private ranch buyer list.
Dripping Springs, Spicewood, Wimberley, Liberty Hill and Bee Cave lead the market for equestrian estates within an easy drive of downtown. Manor and Elgin offer larger acreage at a better price per acre east of the city.
It depends on your herd, the grass and how much hay you plan to feed. Many owners on smaller tracts supplement with hay year-round. If keeping an agricultural tax valuation matters to you, check the county appraisal district's minimum acreage and use rules before you buy.
Reliable water (well production, ponds, creek access), soil and drainage, cross-fencing condition, barn and stall layout, arena footing, road access for trailers and, critically, the existing agricultural or wildlife tax valuation status.
Yes. Many equestrian estates sell privately through relationships, and Rick regularly sources horse properties that never reach the MLS.
In many cases, yes, as long as the qualifying use continues without interruption and you file what the appraisal district requires. Rick coordinates with the county appraisal district and your CPA during the transaction to protect it.
Share your acreage goals, number of horses and preferred area. Rick will send matching properties, including off-market ranches.
