Las Vegas is known for the Strip.
But the valley also has a strong horse community.
You can live on a horse property and still be close to shops, vets, and feed stores.
This page is your guide to horse properties in Las Vegas.
You will learn where to look, what to check, and what a good barn and arena look like.
If you own one and want to sell, see my 1% listing offer below.
Where to find horse properties in Las Vegas
Large lots are scattered across the valley.
New homes have filled in much of the land over the last 20 years.
So only pockets of acreage are left. Most horse homes sit in these areas.
Lone Mountain (Northwest Las Vegas)
Lone Mountain is one of the best-known places for equestrian homes in Las Vegas.
Many streets have half-acre and one-acre lots.
Many homes have no HOA.
Some already have stalls, arenas, and RV parking.
See my guide to Lone Mountain real estate.
Centennial Hills
Centennial Hills is farther north along US-95.
It mixes tract homes with pockets of larger lots.
Some of these lots allow horses.
A few horse homes sit near Floyd Lamb Park, which has good riding nearby.
Kyle Canyon and the far Northwest
Out toward Kyle Canyon, you can find bigger parcels.
Some are set up as boarding stables with barns, round pens, and trail access.
You also get views of the Spring Mountains.
Southwest Las Vegas and Enterprise
The Southwest still has rural pockets with ranch-style lots.
Some horse homes here are only minutes from the South Point Equestrian Center.
The Santa Fe Ranch area is one older horse neighborhood in this part of town.
Blue Diamond, just outside the city, also has a rural feel.
North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas has some older streets with large lots. Most new building there is standard homes.
So horse lots are harder to find.
Pahrump (Nye County)
Pahrump is west of Las Vegas, over the Spring Mountains.
It is in Nye County, not Clark County.
It has many ranches, farms, and acre lots.

What to check before you buy
A horse property is a harder purchase than a regular home.
Each one is different.
Check these things first.
1. Zoning and who makes the rules
A Las Vegas address does not tell you which rules apply.
A lot may be in the City of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, or unincorporated Clark County.
Each has its own code for keeping animals.
Clark County and the City of Las Vegas both have rural preservation areas meant for large lots and animals.
But the rules on how many horses, and where a barn can go, depend on the zoning district.
Listings often say “Horses Permitted.”
Still, confirm it with the city or county planning office before you make an offer.

2. HOA rules and CC&Rs
Zoning may allow horses while an HOA does not.
Some HOAs limit the number of horses, the fence type, or where a barn can go.
Ask for the CC&Rs early.
Many horse lots in Lone Mountain and the Northwest have no HOA, which buyers like.
3. Water, wells, and water rights
Las Vegas is a desert. Your horses need a steady water source.
Many horse properties use a private or shared well.
Ask if water rights come with the sale and how much.
Ask for recent well records.
4. Barns, stalls, and arenas
Ask if barns, arenas, and shade structures were built with permits.
Then look at how they were built:
- Stalls: 12 by 12 feet is a good size, with about 10 feet of clearance to the rafters.
- Floors: stall floors should be firm and level. Rubber mats must be laid right.
- Aisles: asphalt is easier on hooves than concrete, and better than gravel or dirt.
- Airflow: bars between stalls help air move. Solid walls between stalls help calm horses.
- Other features: tack rooms, wash racks, hay storage, turnouts, round pens, and arena lights or sprinklers.
5. Fencing and land
Fencing costs a lot, so check its condition.
Horses can walk the fence line and pack the soil hard.
Some riders want flat land.
Others want a slope for training.
6. Location and services
Look at how far you are from a horse vet, a farrier, feed stores, and riding trails.
A lot farther out gives you more space and privacy.
It also means a longer drive.
Living with horses in the desert
Las Vegas has a hot, dry climate with long summers and short, mild winters.
You can ride all year.
But heat is hard on horses.
Plan for:
- Fresh, clean water at all times.
- Shade in every pen and turnout.
- A high-fiber diet.
- A covered space during dust and sand storms.
- Watching for signs of heat stress, like heavy sweating or fast breathing.
Trail riding is a big plus here.
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is well known for horseback riding.
Many horse areas also sit next to open public land.
Can a horse property make money?
Some owners earn income from their land.
Common ideas are:
- Boarding for owners who have no room for horses at home.
- Training and lessons if you have the skills.
- Guided trail rides for visitors.
- Events such as weddings and parties.
Before you plan any of these, ask the city or county if commercial use is allowed on that lot.
Also talk to an insurance agent.
Horse owners often look at property, liability, equine mortality, and trailer coverage.
A business policy may be needed for boarding or lessons.
