Las Vegas Horse Property

Horse property in Las Vegas is about the land and the layout as much as the house. The homes are large estate homes on generous lots, set back on long paved driveways with honest desert landscaping out front, the kind of low-water, native planting that suits the climate.

The equestrian facilities, stables, corrals, and training areas, are placed behind or to the side of the home, never in the front. That keeps the street view clean and the horse operation out of sight, which is the layout most buyers are looking for.

The horse-zoned corners of the valley include Equestrian Estates in North Las Vegas and the rural-estates corridor running north of Aliante along the 215 near Decatur Boulevard and Ann Road. That corridor traces the historic Gilcrease ranch country, and the zoning shows it in the land: parcels allow horses on minimum lot sizes, with custom homes on half-acre and multi-acre parcels, and barns, stalls, corrals, and arenas can be built without an association's permission. Much of the corridor has no HOA at all.

The right property balances the home, the land, and the facilities as one decision. Western Trails Equestrian Park is close to the North Las Vegas corridor with pens, bridle paths, and arena time, and Floyd Lamb Park at Tule Springs is a short drive for trail riding and open space.
