Location: TX | We looked all weekend & actually seen several places today but it seems really hard to find anything with 5+ acreage & a shop close to OKC area! It looks like several areas are built up! We thought this would be much easier task than it has been turning out to be. Anyone have any advice or know of property for sale like neighbors, etc? We don't need a big house, just the 2 of us & some animals.

Location: In a happy place | Sorry you are having this problem. I was in your shoes this time last year. I can't tell you how many places I looked at. Can you get a list of realtors in that area and look at their websites. The realtor I had had a place they hadn't showed me but was on their website. I asked for them to show me the place and it is the one I ended up buying.
You may have to buy a place with just the house and then build a barn. Which I know is not something you probably want to do with winter just ahead of us. My problem is it is hard to get anything done around here in a timely manner.
I hope you find something soon. |

| I've got a 3 bedroom 2 bath house with a small pasture and 2 stall barn that is at Prague (east of okc) that will be available for rent after November 1st. Depending on what someone needs there are additional small pastures that are pipe and cable fenced with more barns for an additional fee. We are putting in an outdoor arena. If anyone would be interested in visiting with me about it they can email me at performance@finneyquarterhorses.com and I'll get back to them with more information.
I guess I should mention I already own the place so the pastures can be rented now and if some one has a living quarters horse trailer they could plug it in. The previous owners are just occupying the house until Nov. 1.

Whoever dislikes this should at least have the gumption to attach their fake name and why they dislike this. Otherwise we will never know if it is me, Prague, or just a nice country home you dislike. Strange people which is one reason new landlords like me worry about renting to barrel racers they don't know, and that's a fact. |

Finney I am on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with you politically but I agree with on this. It was rude to dislike your offer to help find a property.
My apologies on behalf on BHW. |

Well, thank you for the thought, but this isn't about me. It's about some poor soul having a hard time finding a place to hang their hat (and horse blanket). I seem to have inspired "Finney Derangement Syndrome" in a few of BHW's members for some reason, reminicent of Fox's obsession with Bengahzi (see: that blonde chippy on "The Five" tie Bengahzi to the NFL scandal) since you brought it up. It really is a nice place and doesn't resemble Hades at all, but rather than risk it, I think I'll take my chances with ropers.
Please people, just stay on track and help the lady out. |

Finney -I am on of those Americans who are still and always will be outraged over Benghazi. If it wasn't for Fox the entire tragedy would be swept under the rug by the mainstream media.
My son is one of the "Special Operations Forces" that Martin Dempsey was talking about in his speech to the senate yesterday. The men that died in Beghazi were my sons and my sons brothers too. Men died in Benghazi and the Obama administration including Hillary Clinton covered it up. When you receive a dislike on your post it isn't a personal attack it is a challenge to your belief that Benghazi doesn't matter. Of course that is just my opinion.

Location: Bastrop, Texas | Finney, that was a very thoughtful gesture on your part. Obviously, there is absolutely nothing to dislike. I have some advice: ignore the dislikes. It is a horrible option, in my opinion, precisely because it encourages nothing but negative....ansolutely NOTHING comes out of it. That "dislike" option actually encourages people to just hit "dislike" rather than state their opinion.
As a matter of fact, to be honest, the best way to get rid of that horrible feature is to log on to BHW and "dislike" a bunch of posts at random. That will render it even more useless than it already is, in my opinion.
And, for God's sakes, this has nothing to do with your political views, even if people think they are extreme left wing-progressive. Outspoken people in general tend to attract dislikes. Once I posted "God Bless America" and got 2 dislikes.
Bottom line: that was very nice of you. Don't take it personal!

Location: TX | Thank you all for the help! Sorry I haven't gotten to check this until now we've been pounding the pavement checking mileage, etc! We have looked at close to 20 properties since Monday!! I apologize for not putting the area specifics- we are measuring the distance to the Will Rogers airport as the criteria as the distance that hubby will be driving daily. We currently don't have any horses that will be moving with us for awhile but have 2 dogs & lots of stuff! The renting for alittle bit maybe the way we will need to go but it will have to be Month to month while we house search.
We will be using a VA loan so that has to meet certain criteria. We did find something we like everything but the distance. It's about 35 miles = 42 minutes without traffic so we are trying to see if we want to sacrifice more true country living for gas mileage! It seems OKC area is very built up in all directions. Several places even had HOA & no livestock!! |

The good news is it seems OKC area is in demand and growing so hopefully if we have to sell later on we shouldn't have as much problems selling.... |

Many people don't realize how much land in Oklahoma is becoming zoned as residential, but not agricultural. So much land being sold has HOA rules, fees, or both with limits on livestock if any allowed at all. They are regulated what type of home and buildings you can put on the property as well. It's like they've forgotten they are "in the country". People who want to live in the country, but not really. |

Exactly! It's funny when I moved here I thought there would be rentals with land to who laid the rail and cheap propertys...but you do get what you pay for! schools and such all come into play.
I am more on the south side of OKC and getting to know this area as I just moved, but you are already on some great sites! Hopefully u find something really soon, you can also surf FB a little bit for OKC rentals and such or craiglist, I always forget CL lol |

Location: Oklahoma | We are in Piedmont. When we first moved here we lived in Yukon. We wanted the school districts. Stumbled across the 5 acres we rent now. Coming from San Diego, we never imagined it would be hard to find country property. But, it is easier in San Diego to find rental horse property |

We will be in the same boat next year, going VA looking for home w/ about 5 acres in OKC area (we like north of I40 and west of I35. If you have found any specific VA requirements pertaining to purchase of this type of property I'd love to know (you can pm me). I've heard it can be difficult if the property has over 5 acres. |

Location: TX | We found our dream home on 10 acres with the option to buy 10-20 more acre tracks to it....the down fall.... It's outside of Blanchard about 20 minutes to a small grocery store (not bad) but anywhere from 40-45 min drive to Will Rogers airport! We both LOVE this land. Hunting or shooting wouldn't be a problem just the gas & cost per week or even yr costs on a vehicle/ mileage will be outrageous. We did calculate it.
We we also love a house in Moore. 1.9 mile from town but only 5 acres (very good layout of the land for that small) already fenced for horses quiet neighborhood at a dead end street (not HOA) but just outside our current budget but it's close to everything, still have horses & some quiet. We also see this place increasing in value possibly. We have had everyone tell us to avoid Moore because of the tornados but this house was built in 1979 so I think it's been missed by the storms!
we are still looking and considering but it seems very limited. Either the houses need major updating or outside our price for limited acres. We went to look at 8 acres in Blanchard to find out it sold yesterday! |

Location: TX | We haven't had any issues regarding acreage for a VA loan but we haven't used it for that yet! Our realtor said that's not a problem but it can't be "as is" condition. We looked at some that my not pass an inspection which means VA won't finance. I don't think it will let you get into any fore closures either. |
