A 9-Stall Horse Barn on 24 Fenced Acres in Ardmore
$465,000
Just outside Ardmore, in Giles County — 24.64 acres of Tennessee pasture land, fully fenced and cross-fenced.
This property comes with a 35x60 horse barn with nine stalls and a tack/feed room, a 2,100-plus-square-foot metal shop with its own 3-bedroom apartment, and a dedicated spot already cleared for an arena. 3 bd / 3 ba, 1,312 sq ft, built 2009, on 24.64 acres.
Listed at $465,000. Listing courtesy of Brooke Rozell and Donnie G Cornelison, Rozell Collective Realty.
The apartment's upstairs bedroom has its own separate entrance from the shop and room to add a second bathroom, and with 288 feet of road frontage on flat, usable ground, the property is zoned with room to subdivide or develop further if a future owner wanted to.
Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
This property runs on public water and public sewer, a real convenience for a horse operation this size, since nine stalls plus a residence would put serious demand on a private well if one were needed instead. Giles County sits in Tennessee's Highland Rim, where groundwater is generally reliable, but relying on the public system here means a buyer skips well-capacity concerns entirely. The listing doesn't mention a pond or creek on the property, so water for pasture animals would need to come from installed livestock waterers rather than a natural source. Given the property is fully fenced and cross-fenced already, confirming the water line's capacity to serve multiple pasture sections is worth asking about directly before adding animals at scale.
Crop & Income Potential
Giles County's Highland Rim soils and level, usable terrain (confirmed in the listing itself) support both pasture and hay ground well, and 24 flat acres already fenced and cross-fenced is a real head start for anyone running horses or cattle. The area's agricultural base leans toward cattle and equine operations rather than row crops, which tracks with this property's existing barn-and-arena setup. A new Tractor Supply Company location coming to Ardmore is a small but real signal that the area's agricultural and hobby-farm population is growing, not shrinking. At this scale, with the barn and fencing already in place, a buyer is positioned to run a real equine operation rather than starting from raw acreage.
Sustainability
The horse barn's electric tack and feed room, the shop's own separate apartment, and public utilities already extended to the property mean most of the expensive core infrastructure here is already built, not aspirational. The shop's extra 400-plus square feet of unfinished storage space offers real room to grow into — equipment storage now, finished living or workshop space later. There's no mention of solar, a garden, or other food-production infrastructure, so a buyer focused on growing their own food would be starting from the pasture acreage itself. For a buyer whose priority is horses, equipment, and flexible living space rather than off-grid self-sufficiency, this property is close to turnkey.
The Boundaries
At 24.64 acres, fully fenced and cross-fenced with a dedicated arena spot already cleared, the property has real working infrastructure in place, but a buyer should confirm the fencing's condition and whether it's rated for the specific livestock they're planning to keep. The listing explicitly mentions the option to subdivide or develop the land, which means confirming Giles County's zoning and any minimum-acreage rules before assuming the whole parcel has to stay intact. With 288 feet of road frontage on a property this size, a current survey is worth the cost to confirm exactly how the fenced sections map onto the legal boundary. Being minutes from the Alabama state line and Interstate 65 also means this area is positioned for real growth, so confirming there's no pending nearby development that could affect the property's rural feel is a reasonable question to ask.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Ardmore is one of the few American towns split directly by a state line, with Tennessee and Alabama meeting right through the middle of it — a genuinely distinctive quirk that gives this small town more identity than most similarly sized rural communities. Huntsville, Alabama, just 25 minutes south, brings a real metro job market and amenities within easy commuting distance, a rare combination for a property this rural. Pulaski, the Giles County seat, adds its own historic downtown square a short drive north. A new Tractor Supply Company location coming to Ardmore signals real, ongoing growth in the area rather than a town standing still.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
The University of Tennessee Extension office for Giles County supports the area's horse and cattle operations with pasture management and soil testing suited to the Highland Rim's terrain. Giles County has a genuine equine community, and the fencing, barn, and arena setup already on this property fit into that established local culture rather than starting something new. Feed and tack supply is a short drive into Pulaski or across into the Huntsville area, both of which serve a real agricultural and equestrian customer base. The incoming Tractor Supply location in Ardmore itself will put basic farm and feed supply even closer once it opens.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
The Elk River, which winds through Giles County, offers fishing and canoeing within a reasonable drive, a genuine natural amenity for the broader area. Huntsville's U.S. Space & Rocket Center, one of the region's most-visited attractions, sits about 25 minutes south and adds a distinctly different kind of day trip than most rural Tennessee properties can offer. The Highland Rim's rolling terrain supports hunting on private land throughout the county, a normal part of rural life here. Between the river, the equestrian infrastructure already on-site, and a major metro area's attractions within reach, this property balances rural land with real regional access.
This one is built for horses and equipment, not for off-grid self-sufficiency — a nine-stall barn, full cross-fencing, and a dedicated arena spot are real working infrastructure most properties this price never get close to, and the attached shop apartment adds flexible living space on top of it. There's no well, garden, or solar here to speak of, so a buyer chasing self-sufficiency would be adding that layer themselves; this is a property that already does one thing extremely well.
