If you are a “cowboy or cowgirl” at heart you maybe wondering where all the horse properties have gone. In recent years, the closing of several equestrian facilities in Orange County have left the remaining stables and horse properties in high demand.
But there is hope! You can still find your dream horse property in various cities throughout Orange County such as Coto de Caza, Orange Park Acres, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, Trabuco Canyon, Modjeska Canyon, Silverado Canyon, Newport Beach, Brea, Villa Park, Anaheim Hills, and North Tustin. All have properties zoned for equestrian use and/or adjacent stables and boarding facilities.
Take Coto de Caza for instance. This census-designated place (CDP) and guard-gated private community in Orange County began in 1968 when it was envisioned as a hunting lodge. “Coto de Caza” is Spanish for “Hunt Reserve” and implies that the reserve is private. The community is adjacent to Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park which is open to the general public and features oak groves, sycamores, and creeks. It offers 6 miles of equestrian trails for the horse enthusiast. Within the gates of Coto de Caza you will find boarding, equestrian properties, and trails. This area is a horse lovers dream. Currently there are 17 equestrian properties for sale between $1.7 and $13.9 million.
