Most horse properties are located in the North and East Counties. There will be far fewer horse properties in the South and Coastal counties, and It is very unlikely that San Diego Central will have any, but just in case of an odd varience, I included the search.

 

Buying a home with a facility for horses or large animals is a life-long dream for many of us. Without advance planning, that dream could turn into a nightmare, with lengthy, costly lawsuits and an uncertain outcome. Planning ahead before you buy, and seeking out professional help when needed can make all the difference. For example

  • Include a carefully worded contingency in your offer of purchase. (example)

    If buying horse-friendly property ( or other large animals) matters to you, make sure that your offer of purchase specifies that all is contingent (dependent) upon you, the buyer, being satisfied that applicable zoning requirements, land use requirements, and local laws support your planned use of the land. Your offer can also state that if you are not satisfied, your offer is effectively withdrawn.
     
  • ·If the seller balks at your contingencies, consider other options. (example)

    Anticipate that sellers might understandably reject the contingency, described above and have good reason for concern; for example, if you are unhappy with the laws and back out of the deal, the seller will have lost valuable time that would otherwise have been spent finding the right buyer. You (the buyer) might want to propose an alternative arrangements from the very start. For example, your Offer of Purchase document should set a reasonable tim    eline clause when you will notify the seller of your satisfaction (or approval) with the local zoning and land use laws regarding horses.
  • Determing your planned future use is key

    With your planned future use for the horse property in consideration and clearly in mind, provide your self adequate     time to determine with very reliable assurance that the municipality and local zoning will ultim    ately approve that exact, intended use of the property; for example: will your planned use be for simply housing a single horse as the present owners have been doing or do you eventually plan on transforming the property into a business for breeding, boarding, or training horses?
