HORSE FARM LIVING IN WESTERN NC
In general, professionals recommend two acres for the first horse and an additional acre for each additional horse (e.g., five acres for four horses). And, of course, more land is always better depending on the foraging quality of your particular property (70% vegetative cover is recommended). In Western North Carolina, homebuyers with horses can truly Live Abundantly. Equine properties for sale in the area include hobby farms, planned equestrian communities, and urban living near world-class horse facilities.
EQUESTRIAN EVENTS IN WNC
The recently built Tryon International Equestrian Center hosts world-class equine events all year. It was the host of the 2018 World Equine Games. Featuring 10 riding arenas, over 1,000 permanent stalls, elevated and shaded viewing decks, restaurants, family activities, boutiques, and more, TIEC takes a love for horses to the next level. Here, any and all can come and enjoy the beauty of the sport and its incredibly gifted animals.
LIVE ABUNDANTLY
Of the many different ways to Live Abundantly in Western North Carolina, one way is uniquely woven into our history: the rural lifestyle. The rural lifestyle offers unparalleled opportunities for connecting with nature, stewardship of the land, and living a self-reliant outdoor lifestyle. We describe the rural lifestyle as living outside the city limits on three or more acres of minimally restricted land. Areas throughout the region offer space to stretch and grow—sometimes closer to city centers than you would imagine.
Asheville is located in Buncombe County. The county is large enough that you can own a remote equestrian-friendly property and still be only minutes away from one of the most culturally rich towns in the South. Whether you're looking towards the northwest end of the county in Leicester or Arden in the south, there are plenty of rolling pastures, mountain trails, and large farms for horse enthusiasts.
