Davie Equestrian Acreage: A Buyer's Guide for 2026

Quick Answer

Davie equestrian acreage is horse-and-land property spread across several western pockets of a town, not one community. As of October 22, 2026, Flexmls showed 3 active homes on 2 or more acres that fit an estate profile, from $2,599,990 to $7,299,000. On 1 to under 2 acres, 12 are active, 10 of them between $1,599,000 and $6,500,000. What decides the purchase is the well and septic, what the zoning allows for horses and barns, and the land itself.

Davie is a town, and its western areas have kept a rural, horse-friendly character as the rest of South Florida built up around them. In 2001 Davie voters approved a charter amendment meant to preserve the town's rural character and equestrian lifestyle, according to the Town of Davie Farm Guide (dated March 10, 2020). Equestrian acreage sits across several named pockets and neighborhoods, Davie Acres among them. See all Davie homes for sale (palmbeachcountyhomeforsale.com/daviehomesforsale).

Because it is a town and not one HOA community, lot size, zoning, utilities and any HOA or deed restriction vary from pocket to pocket and parcel to parcel. Treat Davie as the area, then dig into the specific parcel.

Flexmls, October 22, 2026, active single-family listings in Davie on 2 or more acres (two other listings in that search, priced under $75,000, are not comparable estate homes and are left out; check any listing yourself):

• 13300 SW 36th Court: $2,599,990, 2.53 acres, 5 bed / 6 bath, 6,322 sq ft, built 2004, 163 days on market. Flexmls shows no equestrian features.
• 3550 SW 121st Avenue: $5,500,000, 4.81 acres, 6 bed / 8 bath, 14,189 sq ft, built 1974, 77 days on market. Flagged equestrian in Flexmls.
• 2625 SW 148th Avenue: $7,299,000, 4.68 acres, 8 bed / 6 bath, 9,931 sq ft, built 2022, 240 days on market. Listed horse features include center aisle, tack room, wash rack, paddocks, pasture, riding ring, covered ring and grooms quarters.

Most of these have sat a while. That is the nature of this price tier: the buyer pool for a multi-million-dollar estate is small, and sellers who price for that pool need patience. Size figures here are the Flexmls building-area field, so double-check the listing you are interested in.

Just under that size, 1 to under 2 acres: 12 active on October 22, 2026, 10 of them from $1,599,000 (3309 Bradenham Lane, 1.03 acres) to $6,500,000 (9900 Winding Rdg Lane, 1.3 acres). Flexmls does not flag every property for horses, so confirm what the parcel allows.

Per the Town of Davie Farm Guide (March 10, 2020), the town code counts horses as livestock. On a lot of 35,000 square feet or more in the RR, AG and A-1 districts, the guide lists up to 8 animals, no more than 4 of them cattle and horses. In R-1, 4 livestock per 35,000 square feet, cattle or horses only. Raising horses is not permitted in other residential districts. Farms classified as agricultural by the state under Section 193.461 are treated differently on animal numbers. This is general information from a 2020 guide; confirm current code and the exact parcel's zoning with the Town of Davie before you rely on it. Agricultural tax classification applications go to the Broward County Property Appraiser (the guide lists a March 1 initial deadline).

• Well and septic: most acreage here is on private well and septic, though it varies by pocket. Inspect both: the well's water quality, flow and equipment, and the septic and drainfield condition and capacity for the home and any barn. It is the biggest item on a rural parcel and expensive to fix later.
• Zoning: confirm the number of horses, and the barns, stables, outbuildings and workshops the exact lot allows, and any agricultural classification. Do not use the listing summary.
• The land: check elevation and drainage (rural acreage can hold water), legal access, fencing, and how much of the acreage is usable versus wetland or easement. Walk it.
• HOA or deed restrictions: some pockets have a light or voluntary HOA, some have none, and some parcels carry deed restrictions. Confirm what applies to the property.
• Inspection: get a full professional home inspection on every purchase, plus separate well, septic and any barn or fence inspections. Ask your inspector what else the parcel needs.
• Ownership costs: HOA (if any), property taxes and insurance are three separate numbers. Get each one for the specific property.
• Schools: Davie is in Broward County Public Schools, and assignment is by address, so the zoned schools change from pocket to pocket. I ran 15 active Davie acreage listings (1 acre and up) through the Broward County GIS school boundary layer (2025-26 edition, last updated March 2026, checked October 23, 2026). The southeast pockets near SW 109th to SW 111th Avenue and Indian Trail came back Griffin Elementary, Pioneer Middle and Cooper City High. The central and western pockets (Long Lake Ranches, Majestic Groves, Flamingo Groves, Kapok Grove, Paradise Farm, Groves Park and SW 148th Avenue) came back Indian Ridge Middle and Western High, with the elementary split between Fox Trail, Silver Ridge and Country Isles by street. The northeast estate pocket off SR 84 near Westridge came back Tropical Elementary, Seminole Middle and South Plantation High. Broward County Public Schools approved boundary changes for 2026-27, so put the exact property address into the district's Find My School lookup (browardschools.com/School-locator, pick the school year in the dropdown) before you rely on any of this. Private and charter options vary; check grades and admission rules with each school.
• Getting around: from the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds in downtown Davie, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is about 5.9 road miles and Hollywood Beach (Broadwalk) about 11.0 road miles (OpenStreetMap routing, October 22, 2026; drive times of roughly 13 and 21 minutes are estimates). The western acreage pockets sit farther out, so measure from the parcel you are considering.
