Morrison Colorado Equestrian Homes Overview

Morrison may be small in size, but it’s tiny main street makes a big impact. You’ll find antiques shops and restaurants serving local specialties to an incredibly high standard. Morrison is also a mecca for horse riders and equestrian enthusiasts thanks to the hiking path that circles Bear Creek on the outskirts of the town and and leads to an extensive trail system and reservoir which is perfect for enjoying an adventurous ride to exercise your horse. Horse-friendly homes are in abundance in Morrison, and you’ll find a range of luxurious homes with large acreages suitable for dozens of horses, and smaller ranches with plenty of space for a horse or two.

A Range of Housing Options Throughout Morrison

If you’re looking for a smaller home in the center of the town of Morrison then many of the ranches and estates that surround Morrison provide boarding facilities for horses, so that you can home your animals nearby. However, many people are keen to avoid the additional expense involved in boarding their animals, and would prefer to keep them on their own property. If this sounds familiar then it could be time to start searching for your first equestrian home in Morrison Colorado.

If you have never owned horses before, but have always dreamed of moving to Colorado, buying a ranch, and having a hack or two in your back yard, then a good rule of thumb is to secure your property before you start thinking about acquiring your horses. This will give you time to get to know your new property, to make any renovations it may need, and to learn the basics of horse ownership in your local area before those horses arrive. There are several local groups based throughout Colorado who will be able to teach you the basics of modern horse ownership and ensure that you are a happy and confident owner to happy and confident horses, if you are new to horse ownership and feel you would benefit from this additional support.

Finally, remember that it is better to start with one or two horses then increase the numbers of livestock you own than to begin with too many horses and find that you don’t have the space or the time to give them the care that they demand. Colorado law and regulations require that livestock demands that your livestock be branded before it is sold to you and that have regular inspections of this brand if you travel more than 75 miles away from your own ranch (for example, for horse shows or race events). It is also worth noting that Colorado law dictates that every livestock animal has a certain amount of acreage – a good rule of thumb when buying a property is to have 2.5 acres worth of space for every horse that you wish to own. If you have a certain number of horses in mind for your new ranch lifestyle then discuss this with your realtor, as they will be able to inform you of how much land you should acquire to fulfil the legal obligations for this level of horse ownership.

If you’re looking to capture the wild and home spun old-world feel of the Old West then Morrison could well be your perfect destination. This is a town built for cowboys, and the people here are friendly, welcoming, and passionate about horses.

Tips on Buying Equestrian Property in Morrison

You will have many different things to consider when you are looking at horse property for sale in Morrison. Your Kenna realtor will always be available to answer any questions, offer advice on our properties, or to recommend a local expert who can help with property inspections or other tasks. The following tips could also help you to find the perfect property for you and your horses. 

• Decide how much land you need. One of the first things to decide when buying equestrian property is how much space you will need for your horses. The answer will depend on how many horses you intend to keep, the local regulations that set out how many acres are needed per horse, and whether you also need space for an arena or other purposes. You will usually need to allow about 2.5 acres per horse, but it can depend on the local zoning laws and whether you're planning to supplement the grazing with feed. 
• Check whether the property is zoned for horses. Horses are allowed on many properties around Morrison as it is a very horse friendly area. However, it's always important to be aware of what the local bylaws and zoning regulations say about your land. You can search for homes where horses are allowed on our website or ask your Kenna realtor for advice on finding a suitable property for horses. We have plenty of experience with equestrian properties in Morrison so we can advise you on the local regulations. 
• Make sure the land is suitable for horses. Even if a property is zoned for horses, it is still important to inspect the land to ensure it is suitable for your purposes. Horses require well-drained land that isn't too steep. It is also beneficial if there is some type of shade or shelter to protect them from the weather, even if it is just a few shade trees. Your horses will also need a source of water, so it will be a big advantage if there is already one available on the land you're buying. 
• Be aware of any potential hazards. Anything that could harm your horse could be a good reason to avoid the property, unless the issue can be addressed. You should watch out for unsound structures such as stables, risks of landslips or flooding, and any hazardous plants that could harm your horse. Sometimes it is possible to arrange for the seller to have essential work done or to deduct the cost from your offer price rather than giving up on the property. For example, the seller may be willing to arrange removal of a toxic species before you take over the property. 
• Inspect all structures on the land, including the fencing. If you're buying property with stables or other structures then it is important to check these are suitable for your purposes. You might need a specific number of stalls for your horses or an arena that is the correct size for dressage. It's also important to check the quality of the structures and to look out for any work that might need to be done on them. Your Kenna realtor can ensure that the structures are carefully inspected and negotiate with the seller on your behalf if there are any issues that need to be resolved before the sale is completed.
