Barrington Hills is the Place to Go for Equestrian Property  If you are looking for Equestrian property it is most likely you will find what you are looking for in Barrington Hills. There are currently well over 100 properties available to buy in Barrington Hills but not all of them can accommmodate horses. 70 properties currently allow horses but you may be looking for something a little more defined. There are properties that have ready to go fenced paddocks, pole barns, and indoor arenas but others are newly constructed homes and will need everything built from scratch. Do you specifically want a property that has direct access to the Barrington Hills riding trails? These may be available but your choice may be limited.

Typically the best way we Realtors establish a price for a home is to find 3 comparable properties within a mile of your home that have sold in the last 6 months, and use these as a benchmark. However there have not been as many sales in the last year that we are used to and so finding comparable homes can be difficult. Barrington Hills has properties that are more spread out and so a little more work is needed. Here are some things we must consider when pricing Barrington Hills Properties both from a listing and selling perspective but also from a buyers perspective. Additional considerations: Properties can be further away but must be the same village. Properties should be in the same county. Properties MUST be in the same school district. Acreage should be similar. Property square fo...

    Can you turn off your lights this Saturday for just one hour for the good of our planet? Hey, I just signed up on the new Earth Hour website for 2009 and I thought you might like to take a look and possibly sign up, too. Earth Hour is on  March 28, 2009 at 8:30 pm, and it looks like it's going to be really big. As of today: "1,760 cities, towns and municipalities in 80 countries have already committed to VOTE EARTH for Earth Hour 2009, as part of the worlds first global election between Earth and global warming."   Concerned and earth friendly citizans in cities all over the world are all participating by turning off their lights for an hour in the name of fighting global warming.   On Saturday, March 28, 2009, at 8:30 pm, Debra Kukulski of RE/MAX Unlimited Northwest will take part ...

I certainly do not profess to know very much about horses. A long time ago I used to go riding with friends along some of the country trails in England, but I have never owned my own horse. However if it is horse property you are looking for there is certainly a good choice in the Barrington area. Homes with paddocks, barns and acreage are available. Are you in the market to buy a horse farm? If so I doubt I am going to be able to help you. Whilst we do get the occasional horse farm or property listed on the MLS for sale, the only 2 I can find at the moment are in Strasburg Illinois and Ohio Illinois in the far northwest area. If on the other hand you are looking for a new home that can accommodate your horse/s then Barrington has real estate for you, but there are other areas as well. ...

Barrington Hills is a very unique village as it borders many different counties including Cook, Kane, Lake, and McHenry.  Barrington Hills is a popular place for former Chicago residents to seek for beautiful, quiet lands upon which they can build large estate homes.  Barrington Hills is ideal because it allows residents to enjoy a suburban setting while still being able to travel into the city for work and for play.  It is not unusual for homes to sit on large plots of land, as big as five or ten acres, and this is just not something that you will get if you stay in the city.  Barrington Hills is home to many farms and equestrian destinations because of the ability to keep animals on the large plots of land.  Incorporated in 1957, this mature village is a great place for the young and ...
