Buying Horse Property in the Pikes Peak RegionThere are many areas around the Pikes Peak region where you can find suitable horse property.  A lot of people are opting to buy horse property instead of boarding.  They get more time with their horses on a regular basis and they save the high boarding fees each month.  When contemplating the purchase of land that can sustain horses in a comfortable and adequate environment, there are several things to investigate:

1.  How much land is enough to support the number of animals you have?

2.  Does the well permit support the watering of domestic animals?

3.  Is the current fencing adequate?

4.  Are the outbuildings safe and acceptable?  Is there electric and water to the barn?

5.  Are there local places to ride without having to trailer the animals?

6.  Is there evidence of noxious weeds in the area?

7.  Is there a reliable vet nearby?

Taking the time to investigate the answers to these questions is imperative.  Can you imagine buying a home for you and your horses, only to find out that the current well permit does not allow you to water them? 

Some of the known areas for horse properties are:  Black Forest, the Eastern Plains, Falcon, Peyton, Rock Creek and some areas of Fountain.  Before you make a move with your horses, consult an experienced Colorado Springs real estate agent and make sure your interests (and those of your loved pets) are covered.
