As luxury home auction providers, we at Concierge Auctions focus our assignments on the particular lifestyle pursuits of our clients. Many of our buyers are searching for certain amenities, even moreso than exact locations. They want that perfect beachfront villa in Hawaii; a ski home nestled in the Rocky Mountains; or an equestrian farm with room to roam.
Surprised that horse farms are up there with white sands and slopeside? Absolutely! We’ve had the pleasure of selling many breathtaking horse farms over the years, and we have a great database of buyers searching for those perfect paddocks for their maned friends to call home. People that choose to own an equestrian property do so for a number of reasons, whether they’re horse lovers who enjoy saddling up for fun, casual rides, have growing children who compete in English shows as opposed to on a ballfield, or raise thoroughbreds for jumping or racing.
Still other buyers of horse farms seek the laid-back simplicity only found in the quiet countryside. Namely, as a recent horse farm owner said, “It is just a great gathering place. We can have my family and my extended family all up for Christmas or Easter. Everyone has their own space, and we enjoy the tranquility and peace of the outdoors together.”
