Horse Property For Sale Delta County, Colorado

The phrase horse property can also mean different things to different people. Some buyers might consider fenced acreage a suitable horse property. Some might want more amenities like a barn, corral and/or an arena. All of these types of properties are available. You can call me and we can discuss your specific needs.

House sizes and styles vary quite a bit. For some buyers, the house isn't given as much consideration as the barn. There are house sizes in a wide range available...from small to really large like something over 3000 square feet. Manufactured homes are also an option and a way to save money.

Do you want a little land, or a lot of land? Lot sizes vary from around one acre to parcels over 100 acres. Just because you own a lot of land doesn't mean you have to mow it all and landscape it. Natural landscaping is common on horse property.

Most horse property has some type of irrigation water. Now this is a tricky area. Five shares of water in one irrigation ditch, isn't the same as five shares of water in another irrigation ditch. There is no standard for irrigation water and ditch rights, and the amount of water varies as much as the types of horse property for sale in Delta County, Colorado. I would recommend finding that perfect property first, and then researching the irrigation rights. Irrigation water and ditch rights in this area can be more overwhelming then actually finding the property.

You might also want to narrow down what part of the county you want to live in. Delta County, Colorado has four distinctive areas.

With all of the choices available, it can seem like an overwhelming task to find that perfect horse property. As a buyer, you must first talk with a lender unless you are planning on paying cash. Narrowing down your price range should be the first consideration. Then you can see what is on the market in that price range. Remember you can always add upgrades, like an arena, over time. Compare what you can afford with your list of must haves. You may or may not be able to get everything you want in the perfect horse property for sale in Delta County, Colorado, but you won't know unless you have an idea of how much you can spend.  

I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 22 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a real estate broker, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

Lenn, You are making me blush. I don't claim to be a horse property expert, but I can sure help a buyer looking for a horse property.

Debbie, I'm not exactly what you would call "up and around" right now.  I am seated... and that's about it.  I am still very dizzy from the meds and the first surgery.  I tried getting "up" a few times, and almost lost my balance and fell on my head... LOL.  Not quite ready for that, yet.

I was hanging out with the horses this morning at a local stable.  Buying a home with room for a horse is very different than just buying a house.

Debbie, I love your horse photo with the mountain in the background. It seems like it would be fun to sell this type of property.

I wish it were that easy to provide a link to horse properties in Franklin TN. There is such a wide variety of choices, it's hard to find all the properties that would be suitable for horses.

Something must have gone wrong. I thought I had left a comment on this post! In any case when I was a little girl our neighbor was a vet and he always had horses for us to feed apples and grass to. Those are great childhood memories.

It's interesting comparing horse properties around the country.  Lenn's photos look entirely different from yours and ours in the Phoenix Metro area are entirely different from that.  Good luck selling horse properties!

Interesting.  Our area of Agoura Hill California is an odd mix of standard residential and luxury homes along with acreage and horse property.  The largest accumulation of horse property out here is actually adjacent to the high school.

Debbie, Do you have horses? I know you live in the country. We saw some beautiful horses today and a really nice barn. Horses take work but if you love them it is worth it.

Thanks everyone for your great comments. I don't have horses, but my neighbors do. I would love to have two or three, but I don't have the time for that. Horse properties are very common in my market.
