Texans’ love affair with horses is legendary. Though horses are kept for many more reasons than back in the days of the Wild West, equines are still respected and revered in the Lone Star State and many lucky horses are considered members of the family as well as working partners. Finding a horse property where you can live with your horse in your own backyard is the real estate goal of many equestrians, and it can be had right here in the Austin real estate market and surrounding areas. We have an overview of three equestrian neighborhoods that cater to the lifestyle of horse owners.
Bay Country
Bay Country is an exclusive restricted access equestrian community. White rail fencing lines the streets and the homesites throughout the neighborhood, the area is reminiscent of Kentucky horse country. This Horseshoe Bay real estate combines the best of both the equestrian and the resort lifestyle. Bay Country residents ride and train their horses within the community and enjoy bridle trails that wind through the hills and waterside. Wide roads provide an added measure of safety for the equestrian. Many of the homes in Bay Country have fee waived or membership inclusive pricing as a part of the purchase for the Horseshoe Bay resort. Members enjoy the amenities of the resort to include golfing, swimming, fitness center, sunset cruises and programs for children and teens.
