A property with amenities for equestrians—stables, riding arenas, and the like—are akin to rare exotic cars, according to Christopher Burnside, an associate broker and partner with Brown Harris Stevens in the Hamptons. “They’re a novelty because you don’t see them very often,” he says.
Still, for avid horse riders, they’re trophy homes that indulge their passion to the fullest. As a bonus, they tend to be set on extensive land and usually offer other attractive features such as pools and tennis courts for the non-equestrians in their lives.
