Property Description

520-acre Colorado Hay and Cattle Ranch for Sale. Proven income potential and well developed for efficient hay production and cattle handling. (Adjoining 760 acres with indoor and outdoor arenas and additional hay production is also available.) This ranch has proven water resources within the Rio Grande Water Conservancy Subdistrict 5 management plan. Hay production includes 130 acres under pivot and 120+/- flood irrigated pasture capable of producing over 400 tons of hay annually with potential for over 500 tons/yr. There is additional grazing pasture as well. It is typical to have a large heard of elk on the ranch during the hunting seasons and the ranch receives multiple elk tags annually providing an additional income opportunity. Includes a nicely renovated 1448sf 3-bedroom ranch house, nearly a full mile of year-round Saguache Creek running through the property, pipe corrals and loading chute, and is fully fenced and cross fenced for cattle. Surrounded by similar ranches and open country, this location is pure rural ranch living with wide open spaces and unobstructed views of the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan Mountains in all directions. Public land access for hunting, fishing, hiking, four wheeling, etc. is within minutes. The small town of Saguache is six miles away for essentials, larger towns of Monte Vista, Alamosa, and Salida are all within 40 - 50 minutes on paved roads. This is an opportunity to expand your ranching portfolio or move your family to a place unaffected by the pace of the world and carry on the legacy of a productive ranch property in Colorado.
