Lotta good info here but the main reason your looking at it is to be near your parents. If the zoning or sub rules allow for 3 horses per property then I don't see how they can make you tear a barn down. If that is an issue then where are those other folks gonna keep their horses? Maybe not in your barn but in one on their property.
Also check the laws in your area. In town at my mom's house,when we moved there in 1969 there was a barn next door and 2 acres of pasture. Another one next to it. We bought the lot and barn years ago and as long as we keep a horse or something there they can't make us tear it down or move the horses. Now if we take the animals off of it for one year thats the end of it all.
If you can prove the building is structuraly sound then that goes against what your opponent says. I'm here in Tenn. and most towns here have a grandfather type thing where if a house and barn or something is already there when subdivisions and the like come in then they can't be bothered unless the owners agree to it. Or eminent domain in which opinions don't matter (but that's another story altogether).
Check with the current owner and see if he is willing to do a contract whereas it is stated that the house and barn stay and see that if you have a grandfather clause if it passes on from one owner to another.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
