HORSE FARM LIVING IN WNC

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 the Life You Choose. Homes 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 has been chosen as 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 THE LIFE YOU CHOOSE

Of the many different ways to Live the Life You Choose 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.

Madison County is located deep in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina, and much of the county's terrain is rugged, heavily forested, and sparsely populated. The county's northern border is with the state of Tennessee. Madison County's largest river is the French Broad River, which flows north-northwest through the county, first past the county seat of Marshall, then past the resort town of Hot Springs.

The rolling hills and availability of large land parcels make Madison County perfect for equestrian land.

LEARN MORE ABOUT MADISON COUNTY
EQUESTRIAN REAL ESTATE LISTINGS FOR MADISON COUNTY

Yancey County, NC is an elevated county with some of the highest mountains to be found in Western North Carolina (and in the eastern U.S., for that matter). It makes sense, then, that the county offers living situations and equestrian experiences that go above and beyond the norm.

Located in the center of the county, Burnsville is 35 miles north of Asheville and 50 miles west of Johnson City, Tenn. Just a few miles from Burnsville looms Mount Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Mississippi, reaching to 6,684 feet above sea level.

In fact, according to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, Yancey is one of the top-rated counties in North Carolina for livestock. Looking at a few of the available properties below, you can see why:
