Equestrian lovers aren’t just about the sport or the majestic horses; they’re just as enchanted by the allure of equestrian properties. These homes are more than sprawling estates with wide-open land—they’re unique, carefully designed havens where every detail matters. From the layout of the grounds to the quality of the soil, buying a property with equestrian facilities goes way beyond snagging any old large plot.

And here’s the exciting part: right now, a whole wave of these amazing equestrian properties is hitting the market, giving horse enthusiasts a golden opportunity to make one of these dream homes theirs. The latest beauty to catch everyone’s eye? None other than the legendary estate of Levi Strauss, the clothing brand icon himself! With this iconic property up for grabs, equestrian lovers just might find the ultimate paradise awaiting them.

According to Daily Mail, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning a massive property that screams luxury without too much flash, the Willow Creek Estate in California is your ticket to the high life—if you happen to have a cool $100 million lying around. This 77-acre jewel in San Diego’s ultra-exclusive Rancho Santa Fe is a masterpiece that blends nature’s charm with high-end luxury, crafted with a vision of “harmony between nature and elegance,” according to Jason Barry of the Jason Barry Team.

Now, let’s talk about the real showstopper: the equestrian facilities. This place is a horsey wonderland, with two stables that can house 35 horses and a 2-acre, competition-sized equestrian arena. Originally designed for the daughter of the Hass family (yes, the heirs to Levi Strauss, the German-born American businessman who created the blue jeans that practically everyone wears), this property was literally made for champions. There are tennis courts, private trails for hiking, running, or horseback riding, and even a private 15-acre bass-filled lake for swimming, paddleboarding, or just pretending you’re in the best summer camp ever. And it’s not just all sports!

The main house offers five bedrooms, a wine cellar, a game room, and all the cozy gathering spaces a grand estate needs—kitchen, den, family, and living rooms, plus a dining area for entertaining in style. Taking inspiration from Argentina’s rustic charm, this 12,000-square-foot beauty was built in 2008, painted a classic Santa Barbara white, with warm wood-beamed ceilings, and a blend of tile and wood flooring throughout. Step outside, and you’ll find everything an active lifestyle could ask for tennis courts, private trails for hiking or riding, and even a 15-acre lake perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, and boating.

The guest houses? Not your standard “spare room” situation. They come with a game room that has pool tables, air hockey, and even a two-lane bowling alley. And if you need more space, there are five additional bedrooms and four apartments for the ranch staff to call home. Because why not? If that wasn’t enough a cowboy bunkhouse that sleeps 12 makes it an entertainer’s dream.

Jason Barry describes it as “the West Coast Wellington”—a nod to the world’s equestrian capital, where pastures, a cowboy bunkhouse, manicured gardens, and a manager’s quarters complete the scene. Just a ten-minute dash to the freeway, beaches, and coastlines, this one-of-a-kind property is more than a home; it’s a sanctuary of nature, family, and luxury woven together. Equestrian lovers, brace yourselves—Willow Creek isn’t the only dream estate up for grabs; another major equestrian property also joined the market previously.

Another equestrian property is up for grabs!

You got it! Another equestrian dream is up for grabs, and this one comes with a serious dose of history and prestige. The legendary Vanderbilt family, once the epitome of the American elite during the Gilded Age, had a flair for the finer things in life. They had an unmatched love for equestrian sports, and Reginald Vanderbilt, the late heir, was particularly passionate about horses. So much so that he commissioned the construction of Sandy Point Farm, a 6.15-acre estate in Rhode Island that’s now up for auction. It’s a piece of history, a direct link to the Vanderbilt legacy, and it’s waiting for a lucky bidder.

Sandy Point Farm is being auctioned by Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, with bidding starting at a cool $1 million, although the estate’s listed asking price is $3.5 million, according to the New York Post. It’s not just a house, but a true equestrian haven. Reginald Vanderbilt designed the property specifically to embody his family’s passion for horses. The estate features a massive 15,000-square-foot indoor riding arena, 24 stables, grooms’ quarters, and plenty more, making it a dream come true for anyone who loves the sport. With 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, it’s the perfect blend of luxury and practicality.

The estate was not just a private residence; it was a hub for equestrian events and elite horse breeding. It quickly became a gathering place for Rhode Island’s high society, hosting some of the most glamorous equestrian gatherings of its time. Today, it stands as a tribute to the Vanderbilt family’s legacy, showcasing their love for horses and the finer things in life. For equestrian enthusiasts, this is the chance of a lifetime to own a piece of that history—and with many other equestrian properties on the market, it’s safe to say that the dream of owning a paradise is closer than ever.
