Lots big enough for Horses
 

I am in NH for the summer and met a Villager today who told me he has a home in TV with Horse acreage, plus he has a home here. Are there properties in TV big enough for horses and what sort of price range.

Yes. Up in the northern section. I think it’s called Chatham Acres. The lots are in the 5 acre range. I haven’t looked in awhile but I think they still have one lot available for around $500,000.

This I believe would be your only option:

The Villages(R) Homefinder - Find Your Dream Home

At that price point....that horse better be in the bloodlines of Seabiscuit or Secretariat! :1rotfl:

Lmao!!!

Thanks, I really did not believe the person when he told me he was in TV, I thought he maybe was in Ocola and just using TV as a location I would know.

Or buy a large lot in Oxford and Ocala.

Most lots here aren't big enough for horseshoes, let alone horses....

You could always sell the horse door to door piece at a time

Actually not a bad price for it. I think they were originally marketed for about 500K several years ago. In Ocala, land prices have tripled and in some cases quadrupled in the past 5 years. Most land in Ocala now is about 100K per acre.

Right idea...wrong thread!

Somebody posted on a recent thread...that Ocala is the horse capital of the US (Lexington KY would argue that)...but makes sense that...that would be the likely landing spot for a home boarding set up

New-build golf course lots in Eastport have a $199-$249K premium.... $100K for an acre in Ocala is a steal...lol

As one whose family with thoroughbred farms from Lexington to Louisville, my elders always said “Ocala is a breeding place for horses.”

But Kentucky breeds the Derby runners and Winners. Family had breed 3 Derby runners, but not a 1-2-3 place winner

Earlier this year there was a Villages horse farm on the market but I do not see it now. We saw some acreage for sale outside the villages up towards Lady Lake that had cattle and some donkeys on it. If you mix The Villages with horses you will pay dearly but its possible, LOL

I walk around loop there daily. IMO that better lot than two that being built on right now. The big duplex one was up for sale about year or so ago for 2 mil plus no horse barn, just big yard and big drainage easement in back. Looks like only 1 or maybe 2 actually have horses.

Don’t forget about hefty monthly fees. Those horse farms not in district 4, they in there own district and have own rules which good IMO.

Any names we would recognize from the field?

Even if you one of those lots, can you have horses or cows or pigs? Does the deed allow farm animals

If you’re paying 500,000 for the lot, then building the house, barn, buying the horses, you are not worried abou the monthly fees

I’m not paying.. or do you mean your? Some save dimes, some safe thousands, some squander, and some just mooch….. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

I found the acreage estate area while panning around with google maps … behind the Polo Grounds

If you google Chatam Acres in The Villages. All the info comes up. The last sale there was for 1.8 million.
Check it out.

When one of the houses was up for sale, the ad in the paper said "zoning restrictions allow for horses and chickens."

There is a whole level of the villages that is not offered to the average Joe. Includes premium lots, private vip clubs, and all kinds of things the middle class can't imagine.

Anyone paying that to live here is dumb

Yep. One lot left for $549,000 in an area behind Soulliere Villas. The lot actually backs to that pool/postal station, off CR42.

The 7 lots that were originally for sale were an experiment, which I don’t think worked out as well as hoped. They have taken years to sell & as one can see, are still not all sold.

At 70% plus profit they can afford to wait. Only one or two lots left.

Maybe make them an offer they can’t refuse!:0000000000luvmyhors:1rotfl:

That area is within the Villages and beautiful. The prices are very reasonable considering they are 5 acre lots. Resale are rare, but again reasonable considering they have beautiful new homes and barns, plus most are cross fenced.

We live up here but it is not part of the villages. If you are referring to the homes in back of the First responders!

Can't wait for the horse poop threads.

It is part of villages, they have access by golf cart, just not part of district 4.
