Let\u2019s face it – sooner or later, we all get somewhat tired of the hustle and bustle of a big city. Don\u2019t you wish you could just pull back from all of that, at least for a bit? Really, if you can afford it – a retreat into the countryside is the best call to make, especially for an equestrian<\/u>. Of course, even when it comes to rural living, tastes and needs can differ wildly – not everyone wants to live on a farm in some flatlands. But what if we told you that you could have a luxury log home & horse property, all in one? All you have to do is follow our nifty buying guide!<\/p>\n

Familiarize yourself with the land<\/h4>\n

When you\u2019re looking for a luxury log home & horse property, let\u2019s be realistic – you\u2019re searching for a very specific kind of real estate. Of course, you can still find plenty of these, but when you go to check them out, you\u2019ll have to be more methodical in your inspection than with an ordinary home. After all, there are a lot of requirements this place will need to fulfill, plus, it\u2019ll probably be an expensive investment you\u2019re making. So, where do you start?<\/p>\n

Well, when you\u2019re buying a horse property<\/a><\/u>, getting the lay of the land is the first thing you do. First of all, know that dry footing is imperative for horsesm, so finding a property with solid drainage is important. Also, you want to avoid rocky soils, in favor of those that can be used for pasture. And when you\u2019re looking at your log home, make sure you\u2019re certain of your layout preferences, and the amount of space you need. Remember, this isn\u2019t a conventional home with drywall; doing a major remodel of a luxury log home is far more expensive. So, with interior log walls being very solid and expensive to modify, get some remodeling estimates before the purchase.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

There\u2019s a lot you\u2019ll have to learn<\/h4>\n
\"A<\/a>

Taking care of an equine herd is wonderful but there\u2019s also a lot to learn<\/p><\/div>\n

As we\u2019ve already mentioned, buying a luxury log home & horse property is really a great idea. You\u2019re setting yourself up for a very comfortable life, and keeping horses is a wonderful hobby. But if you don\u2019t have a lot of experience with this kind of life, there\u2019s a lot you\u2019ll have to learn. First of all, do you know anything about horse keeping? If not, you can always learn, but make sure you don\u2019t go into this without the proper knowledge. Trust us – taking care of your horse<\/a><\/u> won\u2019t be easy if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

But with a property as specific as a log home with horse amenities, you also have to think about other things. For one, you\u2019ll definitely need to familiarize yourself with the local regulations and rules in your new municipality. What are we talking about? Well, there could be some environmental regulations you need to know about, or something related to land conservation. Also, seeing as you\u2019ll be keeping horses around, check out the rules on the number of animal units you\u2019re allowed to keep on your property. Believe us, learning about all of this beforehand is the best thing you can do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Location is everything<\/h4>\n

When you\u2019re searching for any sort of property, what\u2019s the first mental filter you pull potential listings through? That\u2019s right – the location. Let\u2019s face it, even if you\u2019re buying an apartment in the city, location is everything. And when you\u2019re about to purchase a luxury log home & horse property, it becomes even more essential. Remember – log homes tend to be pretty remote. And sure, long distance professional movers can help you with your move<\/a><\/u>, but the logistics aren\u2019t all we\u2019re talking about.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re not retired, make sure you\u2019re not too distant from your workplace, and you have all the amenities you need around. Also, remember – individual buildings like the barn or even the house can be changed and remodeled, but once you pick a location, that\u2019s that, and there\u2019s no going back. If you\u2019re an avid horse rider, that will play a big role in choosing your location as well. Obviously, if you don\u2019t plan on building your own tracks, being close to trails that are horse-friendly is quite crucial. Speaking of which, although log homes are generally far away from busy roads, keep that in mind – you don\u2019t want any of your loose horses harming themselves in traffic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think of your finances before buying a luxury log home & horse property<\/h4>\n

Sure, looking for your dream home is always a pleasant thing to do, but while you do it, it\u2019s very important to stay realistic. And we\u2019re not just talking about methodically checking out every property to see if it fits you. Although that\u2019s an important aspect of buying a luxury log home & horse property, you\u2019ll also have to think about your finances. First of all, as you\u2019ve probably gathered by now – this is by no means a cheap purchase you\u2019ll be making. This sort of properties is usually quite expensive; so, make sure your personal finances can handle that sort of hit.<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s not just about the price of the property itself. After you buy it, remember – you\u2019ll have to maintain the horse property<\/a><\/u> and the log house. And remember how expensive remodeling a log home is? Yes, any repairs you have to make will put an equal dent in your savings account. On the other hand, maintaining even one horse can be a financial strain, let alone multiple horses. So, before making this kind of investment, make sure you think long and hard!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
