Farm Ground with Country Home in Parachute Colorado

Description

Fixer-upper property with irrigated acreage in Parachute, CO
Looking for a fix-and-flip with great potential? Here you go! This property has all the attributes to be made into a real showcase—acreage, water rights, beautiful views, nice neighborhood, and easy year-round access. The parcel is 10.03 acres with 10 shares of Morrisania Water Supply Company irrigation water. Built in 1929, the 3-bedroom 1-bath home is 913 square feet. It is livable and functional but needs a major remodel. A buyer can choose to scrape it and start over, remodel it and use it as a guest house while building a new house, or live in it.
Country setting with beautiful views of Battlement Mesa and Roan Plateau
Morrisania Mesa is known as a bucolic area northeast of the town of Battlement Mesa and across the river from Parachute. The mesa has many ranches, small and large, and lots of country homes and horse properties. This acreage is in a quiet country setting with mature trees and irrigated pastures, thanks to the water shares from the reservoir just south of the property. Household water is provided by a domestic well, which is alleged to be permitted but we’re working on finding the permit. No luck as of yet. The property is generally flat with a gentle slope to the north and a little gully to the west that holds lots of deer and turkeys.
A true rehab property that has many stories to tell!
The owners of this property tried several things, including an orchard of plum trees inside an 8-foot game fence. The trees have since been removed, but the fence still stands. Our suggestion is to remove the fence and put the acreage back into hay or pasture. The irrigation system brings water to the property but needs to be rebuilt to provide water to the acreage. Old sheds and junk vehicles are present, but the vehicles will be removed shortly. The home is rough and needs a lot of love. It is currently rented, but the renters should be out by July 1, 2025. Please give 24 hours’ notice for any showings.
