Does the well come with the house?

The well and its permit transfer with the land, and the permit's allowed use goes with it. If the permit is household-use-only, watering horses from it is not allowed; a change of use is a state application, not a promise from the seller.

Zoning, Acres and Animals in El Paso County

The county, not the listing, decides how many horses a Colorado Springs property can carry. Most horse properties around Colorado Springs sit on lots zoned agricultural or rural residential, and the county sets the animals allowed per acre, the setbacks for a barn and the rules for a boarding business. A subdivision covenant can be stricter than the county. A Kenna agent pulls the zoning and the covenants for any address before you tour, so the horse count is settled before you fall for the barn.

What to Check Before You Buy a Horse Property in Colorado Springs

  • The well permit. Colorado wells carry a permitted use. A household-use-only permit does not allow livestock watering; a domestic or livestock permit does. The permit number is public and a Kenna agent reads it during your review period.
  • Water on the ground. A stock tank, a hydrant in the paddock and a frost-free line to the barn are the difference between a horse property and a house on dirt.
  • Fencing and footing. Perimeter fence, cross-fencing and a dry lot. Walk the fence line and look at the low spots after a storm.
  • The barn and the arena. Stalls, runs, hay storage, tack room, and whether the outdoor arena drains. An indoor arena in El Paso County is worth real money and appraises that way.
  • Trailer access. A gooseneck needs a turnaround, a gate wide enough and a road the county plows. Ask who maintains the road and what it costs.
  • Septic and hay. Every rural Colorado Springs property is on septic; Colorado requires a use permit and inspection at transfer in most counties. Confirm where hay is delivered and stored.
  • Insurance and wildfire. Foothills and forested acreage carry wildfire ratings that change the premium. Get the quote before your inspection deadline, not after.
  • Tax status. Horses kept for personal use rarely earn agricultural tax classification in Colorado. A working boarding, breeding or hay operation can. Ask the assessor, not the listing.

How to Buy Horse Property in Colorado Springs

  1. Tell us the horses. How many, what discipline, and whether you board others. That decides the acres, the zoning and the buildings.
  2. Get pre-approved for acreage. Land, outbuildings and a well change the appraisal. A lender who writes rural loans, including USDA and farm-credit options, keeps the closing on schedule.
  3. Set the alert. Horse properties in Colorado Springs are few and they trade among horse people first. A Kenna alert fires the hour one lists.
  4. Walk the whole property. Showings run 7 days a week. Bring boots. A Kenna agent walks the fence, the well head, the septic field and the barn with you.
  5. Offer from sold acreage. Price per acre, the barn, the arena and the water rights each carry a value in El Paso County. A Kenna agent prices from the horse properties that actually closed, not from the listing's adjectives.

The expert's checklist: horse properties in in Colorado Springs

  • Water decides everything. Pull the well permit from the Colorado Division of Water Resources: many rural wells are household-use only and do not allow watering horses or irrigating pasture. Irrigation water rights and ditch shares are rare, priced separately and must be named in the contract.
  • Zoning and horse limits: each county sets how many horses a lot can carry and what boarding needs a permit. Confirm with the county planning office, not the listing.
  • Build the permit time into your deadlines. Well and septic transfers and inspections on acreage take longer than a 30-day closing allows; set the due-diligence deadlines to match.
  • Barn, fence and arena: pipe fence, a loafing shed or barn with power and water, and an arena with drainage are what horse buyers pay for and what appraisers can verify.
  • Wildfire and insurance: wooded acreage north and northeast of Colorado Springs carries wildfire risk; get a homeowners insurance quote and ask about defensible space before the inspection deadline.
What should I check before buying a horse property in Colorado Springs?

The well permit (many allow household use only), irrigation water and ditch shares, county zoning and horse limits, septic, barn and fence condition, and how long the permits take against your closing date.

How many acres do I need for a horse in Colorado?

Counties set the rule, and it changes with zoning and whether the pasture is irrigated. The horse properties that sold in Colorado Springs in the last year had a median lot of 5.0 acres; confirm the limit for a specific lot with the county.

Do I need special insurance for a horse property in Colorado?

Yes. A standard homeowners policy limits or excludes liability for horses, so ask for equine or farm liability coverage. Colorado's equine activity law (C.R.S. 13-21-119) limits some liability for riding activities but does not replace insurance.

What is a loafing shed?

A three-sided shelter that lets horses get out of wind, sun and snow while staying in the pasture. Buyers look for one with a solid roof, good drainage and water nearby.

Can I board other people's horses on my property?

Boarding for pay is a commercial use in most Colorado counties and needs zoning approval or a permit. Keeping your own horses is a separate, simpler question. Ask the county planning office before you buy for boarding income.
