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.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
