The department of Aube, located in the south-west of the Grand Est region, offers an ideal setting for all horse and nature enthusiasts. A land of contrasts between the chalky Champagne plains and the dense forests of the Pays d'Othe, this area is appealing for its tranquillity and wide-open spaces. If you are considering the purchase of a property dedicated to horses, the rural property market in Aube is full of opportunities, ranging from simple farmhouses to renovate to high-level professional facilities.
The department of Aube has a strong agricultural and equestrian tradition. Its varied geography allows you to find different types of properties suitable for all disciplines: breeding, leisure, competition or equestrian tourism. Acquiring an equestrian property in Aube means choosing a preserved environment, often more affordable than in neighbouring Île-de-France, while remaining close to the capital (around 1.5 hours from Paris).
The department is structured around several major urban and natural hubs. The prefecture, Troyes, a city of art and history, is the beating heart of the department. Around this conurbation, there are many facilities, including livery yards and private stables near Troyes, which benefit from urban dynamism while enjoying the surrounding countryside. Other areas are also highly sought-after, such as the north-west due to its proximity to the Paris region, where you can find an equestrian property in Nogent-sur-Seine.
Lovers of large green spaces and forestry will turn to the south of the department. This is where you will often find an equestrian farm in the Pays d'Othe, a hilly and wooded area perfect for hacking and outdoor riding. To the east, the landscapes change to give way to vineyards and forests, offering great opportunities for an equestrian estate in Bar-sur-Aube.
One of the department’s real gems is undoubtedly the Forêt d’Orient Regional Nature Park. With its large lakes and vast oak forests, it is an exceptional playground for equestrian tourism. Properties located in this area often benefit from direct access to forest trails, a key criterion for riders and leisure activities. In addition, the Grand Est region is a recognised livestock-rearing area. If you are looking to develop a horse breeding operation in Grand Est, Aube offers fertile land and large areas.
The properties available on the market are often equipped with comprehensive equestrian facilities. For sport and competition riders, it is common to find facilities with a high-quality sand arena, sometimes a drained arena allowing riding in all weather conditions, and an indoor school for winter work. These facilities are essential to maintain sporting activity throughout the year, especially if you are planning a showjumping facility (CSO – showjumping competitions) and want to be close to the region’s equestrian shows.
The comfort of the horses is paramount in the properties we feature. You will find properties equipped with spacious horse boxes, a secure tack room, a grooming area and a horse wash bay. For day-to-day work and relaxation, the presence of a lunging ring or a horse walker is a real asset. More and more properties are also focusing on animal welfare with active stabling concepts or layouts that encourage herd life.
In terms of land, the range is wide. Whether you are looking for just a few acres or several hectares of pasture, Aube makes it possible to find the land for horses in Aube that suits your needs. These plots often include fenced paddocks (wooden rails or electric tape) and adjacent meadows with field shelters, ensuring a life close to nature for your animals.
