Land, acreage, and horse property, bought and sold properly
Acreage is a different transaction. The questions are about water, septic, easements, zoning, access, and what the ground will actually support, and the answers are not in the listing photos. I have sold more than 800 acres across Douglas County, Elbert County, and the Front Range, and I bring a construction background, a habit of pulling the records myself, and the platforms built for this kind of property to every one of them.
Search horse property and acreage in Douglas County
Active residential listings on two or more acres in Douglas County that allow horses, straight from the Denver MLS. Adjust the boundary or save the search to be notified when something new comes on.
Search large parcels and ranch land
Farm, improved, and unimproved land of 100 acres or more across the Denver MLS, newest first.
What has to be right before you buy acreage
A standard residential contract and a standard inspection do not cover most of what decides whether a piece of land is worth what is being asked. These are the items I run down on every acreage purchase, and the ones where I have caught problems that would otherwise have closed.
Water and wells
Permit type and what it allows, Division of Water Resources records, production and depth, and whether the well on the ground matches the well on paper. I have found wells that were advertised as something they were not.
Septic and OWTS
County On-Site Wastewater Treatment System permit records, system age and capacity, and whether the bedroom count the listing claims is the bedroom count the system is rated for.
Water rights and ditches
Whether any rights convey, what they are actually good for, and what the seller is keeping. On larger parcels this can be the most valuable part of the purchase or the most misleading.
Easements, access, and surveys
Recorded easements, legal access to a public road, shared-drive agreements, fence lines that do not match the plat, and whether a current survey exists or needs to be ordered.
Zoning, covenants, and use
What the county allows, whether horses and outbuildings are permitted, agricultural status and what it does to taxes, and any HOA or covenant limits on animals, fencing, and structures.
Special taxing districts and permits
Metro and special districts that can change the tax bill substantially, plus building-permit history on the house and outbuildings. I have found unpermitted additions and permits pulled but never closed.
Equestrian property specifically
A horse property is a working property. Beyond the house, I look at barn condition and layout, arena siting and footing, pasture quality and how it has been managed, water to the barn and pasture, fencing, the haul route in and out with a trailer, and whether the covenants and zoning actually allow the number of animals you plan to keep. I keep a network of surveyors, well drillers, fence and arena contractors, and other trades I trust, which matters both in due diligence and after closing.
Douglas County has a deep equestrian community, particularly around Franktown, Sedalia, Larkspur, and the acreage east of Parker, and Elbert County continues it east through Elizabeth and Kiowa. Off-market opportunities come up regularly through owners and barn communities, and I hear about them. If you want to be on that list, let’s talk.
Selling land, ranch, or horse property
The buyer for a 40-acre equestrian estate is not scrolling the same feed as the buyer for a townhome, and marketing it the same way wastes the launch. My listings in this category get drone and cinematic video, an interactive parcel map that shows boundaries, terrain, water, and improvements, and placement on Land.com, HorseProperties.net, and Farm & Ranch, on top of Zillow Showcase, Homes.com, the Sotheby’s International Realty platform, and targeted digital advertising. Preparation matters as much as it does on a house, and it includes getting the well, septic, and permit records in order before a buyer’s agent asks for them. The full program is on the Signature Listing Services page; the approach is on the Sell page.
Recent land and equestrian films
Short films from recent listings. Video reaches the buyer who is not actively searching yet, which on acreage is often the buyer who ends up writing the offer.
