Ranch Properties Montana

(FUN!) What’s your dream farm and/or house?

This is a fun question, aimed toward people who are still dreaming about their ideal home and farm/ranch.

My answers:

I want a house built out of cream colored stone, maybe 2 floors (Like a ranch style (Long), but with 2 floors instead of one) that are whole floors, and then a third floor in the center of the roof. I would want a 2 story entry and living room (you know, stairs to a balcony). I would want it to just be comfortably furnished with neutral pieces in the living/dining/kitchen areas, and then show the personality in the bedrooms. I think I’d go for more english-style decor, but anything horse related!

How many horses?

Seeing as I want to own a boarding/breeding/rescue/training/lesson stable with a vet practice attached (I want to be an equine vet), I’d say 40-50 horses (not mine) depending. Obviously I’d have trainers and stable hands.

How many stalls?

Probably 60 in the boarding/lesson barn, 10 in the rescue, 10 in the breeding. I’d want my own private barn for my horses though, so maybe 6-10 stalls in that.

How many acres?

At least 50, preferably 100-500, even more if possible.

State?

Virginia, Maine, Pennsylvania, Florida, or Wyoming. I’m open to having it in any of those, but I’d like Virginia/Maine/Pennsylvania because my family lives in the Pittsburgh/Latrobe PA/Canton Ohio areas.

I would want it to have large wooded area (Like at the base of a mountain, preferably) so that you could go trail riding, but I’d also want lots of field space too (Cross Country course!)

I really want to have a stone barn (Cream again) with a gray shingled roof. I think it’d look really cool. I would want an indoor arena that was split like this: One 20×40 dressage, one standard (Or slightly larger) jumping. I would also want 2 outdoors (One sand, one grass) for jumping, and a couple of outdoor dressage arenas (One sand, one grass). I’d probably have the indoor located in the middle of the barn, and have the stalls form a ring around it, with a tack room in each outer corner of the aisles with private lockers in it. I’d also do lesson horses and tack in the front so the students don’t have to walk through all the boarder’s horses.
