West Hills is also considered "horse country" as well as parts of Cold Spring Harbor. When I lived there, several of my neighbors had horses.
In many areas, they allow 2 horses per acre.
Recently, there was an article in Newsday about the plight about horse farms on Long Island. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll try to get the date for you.
OK, I have been searching for about 3 months....I grew up in Queens, have a decent basic knowledge of Nassau/Suffolk, but BOY am I having a hard time finding a decent horse property in a decent nabe!
We can go up to $450K, and must have at least 1 acre.
Would prefer north shore Nassau, but price-wise that doesn't look doable
Willing to go out as far as exit 64, but would far prefer not to.
Already saw properties in N Great River, and some part of Islip - bleh. The area just looks kind of sad and run down.
Saw lower prices online for Middle Island, but heard it's a bad nabe?
Saw some great properties in Medford, but it's sooo far to Manhattan, where hubby has to commute.
Can anyone help?
Thanx!!
Long Island Horse Properties, Inc is located on main street in Smithtown, that might be another place to contact. Smithtown (Pines area) and neighboring portions of Hauppauge surrounding Blydenburgh park are very much horse properties. 450k would be tough, but I have seen sizable ranches zoned as horse properties that continue to sit, and sit, and sit...The Pines is a very nice area. Good luck in your search. (For reference it is the area in Smithtown in and around Old Willets Path as well as Brooksite drive)

Excellent info - I didn't know CSH and West Hills were horse country! I will do a search, thank you!
And yes, I'd love to see the Newsday article, but what's a PM?

Thanx Jrprof! I have been checking the LI Horse Properties website nearly every day, and saw a few of the houses listed.
Thanx for the detailed info on Smithtown, this is the kind of stuff I need!

I live in MI and i have no problem with the area. I would stay away from the condo properties but since you can't keep your horse there that shouldn't be a problem
Try Ridge area also. We live basically where Middle Island, Ridge and Rocky Point kinda meet and there is plenty of state land trails. There is also a large horse farm(?) behind our neighborhood. not sure if they have shows or some sort of competitions on Sundays but we can hear their speaker system lol.

I was merely referring to "horse country" if you read my post
And in this environment, there have actually been some bargains, even in West Hills - of course they don't last long (the minute the come on the market, the race begins).
Sometimes I see a great buy and just wish I had the "right" buyer at that moment Of course prospective buyers sometimes take too long to "think about it" and then it's gone
