A Horse Ranch in Texas: Dream Farm presented by Stable View

Texas is horse country. If there’s any state in America where horses are part of culture, Texas would be it. Although the recent extreme weather events there might suggest otherwise, the weather in Texas is well-suited for horse activities. The abundance of land and space also make it a wonderful place to set up shop for a horse business– although that also means you’ll be spending many miles on the road if you want to compete. This week we are featuring a ranch that is perfectly set up to keep and ride horses, with plenty of stalls, an arena, and an apartment above the barn in addition to a main house.

Here’s the full description:

The Bar-Mc Ranch is a turn-key equestrian ranch in Central Texas just outside the historic town of Salado and within an hour of Austin, Waco, and Killeen-Fort Hood.

This complete horse ranch features a beautiful 2, 800+ sqft, single-story Austin-stone ranch house built in 2013 that has 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and an exquisite living room, dining room and kitchen. The backyard covered patio features an in-ground pool, above ground hot tub spa, and a detached 960 sqft pool/guest house that has 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, kitchen, living room, and laundry.

There is a completely trimmed out two-story metal barndominium built in 2012 with over 1, 770 sqft of living space including 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an upstairs loft that includes a 1,665 sqft attached metal horse barn that includes 3 inside stalls, 3 outside stalls with separate runs, a feed/tack room and a separate storage room on concrete floors with water and electric.

There is a 3,000 sqft metal horse barn with water and electric that features 4 interior horse stalls, 4 exterior horse stalls opening to separate runs, a concrete floor breezeway, a feed/tack room and a climate controlled office.

There is a 3,000 sqft metal work shop with electric and subdivided into 1, 250 sqft of three separate rooms with concrete floors and accessed by roll-up bay doors, a 1, 200 sqft open bay with concrete floor perfect for storing your horse trailer or RV, and the remaining 750 sqft of covered awning over gravel perfect for parking equipment, a tractor, or side-by-side.

The ranch also features a 280’x140′ lighted riding arena constructed of 2 pipe railing with a deep sand surface and climate-controlled press box perfect for training riders and working horses. The sellers also have the materials on site to construct a covered arena that can be purchased separately.

There is over 25 acres of multiple cross-fenced paddocks with improved and native pastures, perfect for maintaining a full compliment of horses for each of the 14 total stalls. The property is rounded out by numerous smaller improvements to include a dog kennel, three smaller loafing sheds, and a concrete storm shelter outside the main house.

This property is listed for $1,299,000.  To view the full listing, click here.
