Questions buyers ask
Horse Property FAQ
Where are the best areas for horse properties near Westchester?
In Westchester, horse country is concentrated in the northern towns: Bedford (including Katonah and Bedford Hills), North Salem, Pound Ridge, Lewisboro (South Salem and Cross River) and Somers. Further north, Putnam and Dutchess counties offer more acreage for the money, and the Millbrook area of Dutchess County is long-established hunt country.
How much land do I need to keep a horse?
A common rule of thumb is about one and a half to two acres of usable pasture for the first horse and roughly one more acre for each additional horse, though needs vary with turnout, hay and how the land is managed. Local zoning also sets its own minimums and setbacks, so check the town code for any property you are considering.
Can I keep horses on any residential property?
No. Whether horses are allowed, and how many, depends on each town’s zoning, lot size and setback rules for barns, fencing and manure storage. Many northern Westchester towns allow horses on larger residential lots, but confirm with the town building or planning department before you buy.
What should I look for in a horse property?
Look past the house: the condition and size of the barn and stalls, water and electric in the barn, drainage and footing in paddocks and the riding ring, fencing, hay and equipment storage, room to turn a trailer, and whether the property connects to riding trails.
Where can I ride near Westchester?
Bedford’s private trail network is maintained by the Bedford Riding Lanes Association, which riders join as members. Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, Westchester’s largest park, has trails open to horseback riding, and North Salem and Lewisboro have their own trail systems through farmland and woods.
Are all equestrian properties listed publicly?
No. Some horse properties change hands privately or are shared quietly before they reach the market. Tell us the kind of horse property you are looking for and we will forward any additional private listings we know of.
Can a horse farm qualify for an agricultural tax assessment?
Some farms can. New York’s agricultural assessment program has acreage and farm-income requirements, and certain commercial horse boarding operations may qualify. Eligibility depends on the specific property and its use, so review it with your attorney or a tax professional before relying on it.
