Description
If you are looking for a turn key farm, you will want to take a look at this property in beautiful Southwest Colorado. Coming up the county road,
you wouldn’t know this hidden gem is there. Private from the road and neighbors this 12.88 acre irrigated property feels like a secluded
paradise. The thoughtfully constructed two bedroom, one bathroom house has an open floor plan that flows nicely from the kitchen to main living
room space. All new thermal pane windows in 2020 keep the house at a wonderful temperature throughout the seasons. A small wood stove as
well as a direct vented propane heater on a thermostat keeps the home warm and cozy during the winter months. The window from the loft
bedroom is a perfect way to watch the moon and stars as you lie in bed at night. The house is nearly 100% grid tie solar powered. Outside is a
wonderfully landscaped yard where you can sit and enjoy the shade of the covered porch or under the trees. Around the side of the house you
can spend the evenings soaking in your hot tub. Across the driveway is a second building site with utilities easily accessible. The septic was
engineered and installed to accommodate a second home. Attached to the open barn is a 12×27 heated workshop. The two pastures, upper and
lower, are fenced with electric fencing and some high tensile wire fencing that can be electrified if needed. A loafing shed at the top pasture has
a closed in hay storage area as well as space for animals to get out of the weather. Although the current owners have raised llamas, this
property could be great for horses or other livestock as well. 5 shares of MVI irrigation on an independent head gate keeps this property lush
and green using hand-set piping and sprinklers. There is a 50×50 fenced garden space as well 48×30 high tunnel with duel plastic and
thermostatically controlled sides and vents, all on drip irrigation with timers. On the property you will find a variety of fruit trees; 2 cherry, 1 pie
cherry, 2 plum and 1 crabapple and 2 grape varietals. Once you harvest your fruit and vegetables you can wash them at the covered outdoor
sink area next to the garden shed and put them right into the walk in cooler. In the small greenhouse you can get a head start on your plantings
for spring. Even though this property is on a central water tap, there is also a well in place. So much thoughtfulness, love and attention has gone
into this property. You don’t want to miss it!
