This is an incredibly smart and strategic way to market acreage, Glen! You are spot on—limiting a 9-acre irrigated property with a barn and an apartment strictly to the "horse property" category means missing out on an enormous pool of potential buyers.

Highlighting the highest and best alternative uses—like a turn-key dog boarding facility, an event venue, or a live-work setup for a landscaping business—completely opens up the market. That full irrigation is a massive selling point for agricultural hobbyists, and the on-site apartment adds that perfect multi-generational or rental income angle. Excellent blueprint for expanding a property's reach!
