A Perfect Equestrian Retreat: 7 Acres of Horse Heaven in Clark County

If you're dreaming of a place where you and your horses can thrive, this 7-acre equestrian property in Clark County, Washington, might just be your slice of paradise. With gently rolling land, a turnkey ranch-style home, and a thoughtfully designed barn, this property is built for those who value the country lifestyle and want a functional, no-fuss setup for their horses or livestock. Let’s take a virtual tour of this incredible property and explore why it’s one of the best equestrian estates on the market today.

The Land: A Horse Lover’s Dream

The heart of this property is its 7 acres of beautifully maintained land. The gently sloping terrain drains impeccably into a seasonal pond, ensuring your pastures stay lush and usable even after wet spring weather. No muddy hooves here—your horses will love the well-draining ground that’s both functional and picturesque.

Scattered across the property are majestic 100- and 200-year-old trees, adding charm and shade for your animals. The landscape feels like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting, with lush green pastures, a serene alder grove, and a trail perfect for morning rides or evening strolls. The seasonal pond attracts mallard ducks, adding to the idyllic, almost magical atmosphere. Whether you’re into hunter-jumper or cow horse setups, this land offers endless possibilities, including space to build an arena with minimal dozer work.

The property is fully fenced with substantial railway ties, built to last decades. This level of craftsmanship ensures your horses or livestock are secure, and the fencing adds a polished, professional touch to the estate. For those who value privacy and usability, the land flattens out in areas, offering flexibility for additional structures or activities.

The Barn: Functional and Bright

The crown jewel for any horse enthusiast is the barn. This steel structure is airy, clean, and flooded with natural light—no lights needed during the day! It features three spacious stalls with room to expand to five, complete with sturdy kickboards and high-quality hardware. The barn also includes a large shop area with a concrete floor, perfect for storing tools, equipment, or even setting up a workspace.

Hay storage? You’ve got more than enough space to keep your horses fed through the seasons. There’s also an insulated, heated tack room that’s as functional as it is comfortable—a rare find in equestrian properties. With water, power, and a full walkthrough from front to back pastures, this barn is designed for convenience and safety.

Just outside, a well-built round pen with sand footing awaits, ideal for training or exercising your horses. The front pasture, though well-loved, is graded and muck-free, a testament to the property’s excellent drainage.

The Home: Practical and Turnkey

The 1,600-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home is the epitome of functional living. It’s not fussy or fancy—just a well-maintained, single-level home with updated roofing, windows, and an inviting atmosphere. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly from the front entry to the kitchen, dining area, and cozy wood stove sitting room, which overlooks the front round pen and pasture.

The kitchen is designed with practicality in mind, following the classic triangle layout of fridge, range, and sink, with the sink perfectly centered on a window framing those stunning 7 acres. The primary bedroom features updated carpeting, an oversized ensuite bathroom with a shower, and a large closet. Two additional bedrooms, a guest bathroom, and a functional laundry room round out the home.

The house also boasts ample parking for trucks and trailers, a must for equestrian properties. A well-maintained garage with a new electrical panel and a pressure tank for the well adds to the home’s self-sufficiency. While the garage could use a fresh coat of paint, it’s packed with storage space—because, as we all know, country living comes with “stuff.”

The Little Extras: Nooks and Crannies

This property is full of delightful surprises. A small shelter structure, perfect for goats, chickens, or a dog run, adds versatility. There’s also a charming building that appears to be an old sauna, complete with cedar paneling and a drain in the floor. With power and water, it could be transformed into an outdoor kitchen, home office, or she-shed—the possibilities are endless. An old chicken coop, also in great shape, offers even more storage or potential for small livestock.

The outdoor entertaining area, surrounded by pea gravel, is ready for a patio setup where you can relax and soak in the views. Every corner of this property has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the country lifestyle.

Location: The Best of Both Worlds

Located in Clark County, this property offers the perfect balance of rural serenity and urban convenience. You’re just 5 minutes from Yakult, Washington, for that proverbial jug of milk, and 20 minutes from Battleground. Vancouver is a 35-minute drive, and PDX (Portland International Airport) is just 45 minutes away. Local favorites like Pacific Northwest Pizza and Nick’s Tavern are nearby for a post-farm wobbly pop, and the area boasts a strong equestrian community.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, with its Calam Horse Camp and other equestrian campgrounds, is just 45–50 minutes away. Battleground State Park (20 minutes) and the Clark County Equestrian Center (within an hour) make this property a hub for horse lovers. Trailer in and out effortlessly, and enjoy access to some of the best equestrian amenities in the Pacific Northwest.

Why This Property Stands Out

This isn’t just another listing you’ll find on Zillow or Realtor.com. It’s a lifestyle property, designed for those who value land usability, quality fencing, and a functional home that doesn’t overshadow the outdoor spaces. The imperfections—like the ancient trees and the well-worn front pasture—are what make this place magical. It’s a property for good country folk who want to embrace hard work, horses, and the quintessential American dream.

As someone who’s walked thousands of acres and sold $30 million in real estate last year, I can tell you this property is truly one-of-a-kind. It’s not a McMansion—it’s a practical, well-built estate for those who want to live close to nature without sacrificing proximity to modern amenities.
