Davie protects horse country by charter. In March 2001 residents voted, by nearly a 90 percent majority, to amend the town charter to preserve Davie’s rural character and equestrian lifestyle, and the town maintains a documented trail network of more than 165 miles. This page is the live inventory that charter protects: every active Davie listing on roughly three quarters of an acre or more, pulled straight from the MLS and updated continuously.
Acreage and equestrian listings in Davie
Every listing below sits on approximately 0.75 acres or more within Davie. Prices, days on market, and availability update on their own from the live MLS feed, so what you see is the market as it stands today.
What makes a Davie parcel truly equestrian
Acreage is the entry ticket, but zoning decides the rest. Horses and livestock are permitted only in Davie’s RR, AG, A-1, and R-1 districts, on lots of 35,000 square feet or greater, with the animal counts scaling by district and lot size under Code Sec. 12-34(B). Farm trailers and agricultural equipment may be parked residentially only in the RR, A-1, and AG districts. And some parcels carry a Hobby Farm Determination that transfers to the buyer on sale without reapplying, a detail that changes what a property is worth to the right buyer. Before you fall for a listing here, confirm the parcel’s zoning district with the Broward County Property Appraiser and read the full breakdown.
Wells, septic, and flood, the acreage due diligence trio
Many of these parcels run on private wells and septic rather than city utilities, and Florida requires neither a point of sale septic inspection nor routine well testing for single family homes, which means the due diligence is yours to order. Flood zones in western Davie vary parcel by parcel, especially after the Town adopted updated FEMA flood maps in July 2024. Both get a per address answer, never an assumption.
Pricing and the Davie market
Acreage properties trade above the town line: the current Davie median sale price across all single family homes is $745,000, and the listings above carry their own live prices. For the weekly numbers behind the whole market, see the Davie Market Dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Where in Davie can you keep horses?
In the RR, AG, A-1, and R-1 zoning districts, on lots of 35,000 square feet or greater, per Town of Davie Code Sec. 12-34(B). The animal limits scale by district and lot size; the Rural Property FAQ carries the full numbers with citations.
How much land do you need for horses in Davie?
The code minimum is a 35,000 square foot lot, roughly 0.8 acres, in a district that permits livestock. That is why this page filters at approximately three quarters of an acre and up.
Do these properties have city water and sewer?
It varies by parcel and the listing usually states it. Many run on private wells and septic, which makes well testing and a voluntary septic inspection the two due diligence items to order before closing.
What is the Hobby Farm Determination?
A Town of Davie recognition program for qualifying agricultural use, under Code Sec. 12-34(B)(9). An approved determination transfers administratively to a new owner on sale without repeating the application, which makes it a real asset when it comes with a property.
