About Rockingham County, NC

Horse Park raising Property Values already in North Carolina! The aerial view of the future site for new The Horse Park Of The South shows the size of the future equestrian center. The county has 155 acres for the site to include 120 acres for the Horse Park itself. The front 35 acres of the center will be for commercial development.

There will be one very large indoor show arena, another covered schooling/show ring, 400 permanent stalls with the capabilities to add another 300 for large events. Of course not to mention all the shops, equine art stores, tack shops, administrative offices, banquet facilities and all maintenance facilities.

Now the best part is that I have a number of small and large farms and other properties in the area. Of those some of the "pocket listings" are now changing their prices upward. I have seen a parcel of land sell for $3000 an acre (30 acre parcel) and another across the street (same owner) go up to over $7,500 an acre. I have a 30 acre farm, an 89 acre equestrian estate, and a smaller property with just about two acres. Now I have two farms I am getting ready to list one is 155 acres and 126 acres. I do have two "pocket listings" that are a 50 acre farm and another is 46 acres of farm land with two spring fed ponds on it.

So if you are working with any equestrian clients that are looking in the area I would pay a handsome referral. I also know the area very well since I have showed almost all the equestrian properties and all suitable land tracts with my other buyers. Now some have chosen their properties others are waiting to sell another equestrian property somewhere else. So for horse properties near the newest premier equestrian center on the east coast just give me a call or drop me a line.

Some of you might remember an earlier blog last year about the Horse Park of the South. This is going to be one of the premier equestrian centers in the Southeast. If you can imagine 150 acres of everything equestrian; 6 indoor riding rings, 4 barns with 400 stalls and room for more, two of the rings are indoor arenas, and administration building, dining facilities, and anything else you could think of. Reidsville, North Carolina is about to become the center of the southeast for equestrian events.

I am going to be chronologically taking pictures of the progress so that I can share with you how we are progressing. I went up and took some shots today since they are close to breaking ground so I wanted to shoot the land untouched. The water tower is going to be the marker for the southern most point of the park.

Now shooting from north of the water tower out toward the acreage for the Horse Park.

Now this is an old access road that will probably be used once they start.

So now we have a beginning for the story. I will update you as we progress this will do exciting things to the property values (most certainly the horse farms of which I have three listed) soon.

Okay all of the equestrian businesses, farms, ranches, and everyone even interested in horses listen up.

In 2004 Rockingham County retained a long time equestrian center manager and a show promoter and sponsor to take a look and do a feasibility study on building an equestrian center in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina. The study showed great interest and even some other facts like within a 60 mile radius of the Piedmont Triad there is in excess of 30,000 horses. On top of that fact with the central location in the state and the easy access and closeness to Virginia a site in Rockingham County near Reidsville, North Carolina is perfect.

The economic impact could be excellent for the area. The land for the park over 150 acres is already purchased. The Board has been raising money and I just heard from one of the board members that they almost have all the money to complete the project. This project will be well run from the start since they refuse to strap the local municipal budgets and will not break ground until they have ALL the funds necessary to finish the project.

The Park will have one large indoor show arena, a covered schooling/show ring, 400 permanent stalls with the capability to expand that to 700 stalls. Parking for exhibitors and spectators, Vendor areas, an administration building that will house a banquet hall, restrooms, conference rooms, showers, and offices. They will have parking spots for campers, shop locations for permanent tack and tack repair shops, Equine art and gifts, and then of course maintence facilities.

This is a very exciting development for the Triad and I personally cannot wait. Oh did I mention that my next post will be a 30 acre farm with practically new barn and 3 bedroom home with gardens and 3 fenced pastures only approximately 8 miles from where this facility is to be constructed!

So check it out for yourself at the offical Rockingham County website.
