Horse Property for Sale in Greenacres WA: 9 Acres and a 4 Stall Barn Near Spokane Valley

The question I hear most from horse buyers in this market is some version of the same thing: how far out do I actually have to go? Because the answer for the last few years has been further and further. So when I saw 4002 S Long Ln come up in Greenacres, nine and a quarter acres with a barn and pasture already in use, sitting close enough to town that you are not rearranging your life around the drive, I paid attention.



The Equestrian Facilities


The property is 9.23 acres zoned Rural Traditional, which is the zoning that actually supports livestock, agriculture, and the kind of outbuildings horse people need. That matters more than the acreage number itself. I have watched buyers fall for a big parcel and then discover the zoning or the covenants will not let them do what they came there to do.


The barn holds four stalls plus a kennel, with a lean-to running along the pasture side and fenced turnout off the back. It is currently in use, which tells you more than any listing photo can. There is a separate four-bay shop up near the house with tall roll-up doors, and that is where your tractor, trailer, RV, and boat live. Having the horse building and the equipment building separated is a real advantage. Dust, fumes, and traffic stay away from the stalls.


Let me be straight about the barn, because I would rather you hear it from me than be surprised in person. This is a working barn, not a finished show facility. The aisle is dirt and shavings, the hay is stored in the same open bay as the stalls, and the ceiling has some sag and tearing in the vapor barrier. The stall fronts themselves look solid, metal grill over wood. None of this is a dealbreaker and all of it is fixable. It is also part of why the per-acre number works.


There is no arena. For some buyers that is a dealbreaker. For others it is the best news on the page, because the aerial shows a wide open middle section of the parcel and you have the zoning to build one. Building to your own spec beats inheriting someone else's footing decisions.



The Home


The house is a 4,002 square foot daylight two story built in 1993, with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. There is a main floor office, a main floor family room, a living room, a formal dining room, and a family and rec room down in the walkout basement. The floor plan is functional in the way houses from this era tend to be, with a main floor laundry and mud room, which anyone who comes in from the barn in February will appreciate.


The primary suite has a full ensuite with a jetted tub, separate shower, walk-in closet, and double sinks. There is a deep covered front porch that runs the width of the entry. Out back there is a deck with a hot tub, a small in-ground pool, a fire pit patio, and a koi pond with waterfalls tucked into the landscaping. The forced air gas furnace and both central AC units were replaced in 2024, which on a house this size is a meaningful number off your near-term list.


It is in the Central Valley School District, which is a genuine draw for families moving into this corridor.



What I Would Be Looking For in Person


Here is what I would actually be doing on a walkthrough of this one.


Drainage around the barn. The ground around the barn and the gate area looks dry and sandy in August, which is not the season that tells you anything. I want to see where water goes when the snow comes off in March. Standing water at the barn door turns into a mud problem that never fully resolves.


Stall interiors and footing. Dirt aisle is fine and common, but I want to check the stall floors for depth, drainage, and whether there is matting under the shavings. I would also look at ventilation, because that torn vapor barrier overhead is worth understanding before you commit.


Fence line condition. There is a mix of wire and wood on this property, plus a couple of steel gates. Nine acres of fencing is nine acres of fencing. I want to know what type it is, how old it is, and what the corners and gate posts look like. Fence replacement is one of the most commonly underestimated costs on acreage purchases.


Gate placement and trailer access. The driveway is generous gravel and the shop apron gives you real room, but I want to walk the route from the road to the barn and confirm you can get a truck and a gooseneck in, turned around, and back out without a twelve-point turn. You will do it a thousand times over the years you own the place.


Water to the pastures. Where are the hydrants, are they frost-free, and how far is the haul in winter if they are not.


Arena siting. If you plan to build, I would be looking for the flattest, best-draining section of that open middle acreage and thinking about how it connects back to the barn.



Ready to See It?


If close-in acreage in Greenacres, Otis Orchards, or Spokane Valley is what you have been waiting for, this one is worth a look in person. I am happy to walk it with you and give you an honest read on the barn, the fencing, and what it would take to make it work for your horses.
