With some of the best dry land farming in all of CO, this ranch is ready for livestock or growing your favorite crops.  It’s ready for you to create whatever you like it’s an open canvas. One of the things I loved personally most about this property is it sits in the natural migratory path for the elk and deer. That picture I have posted was the largest herd of Elk I know of  with 500 plus Elk crossing the ranch. It is just a beautiful experience that the owner says is very common to see on the ranch, absolutely incredible !! The ranch has many upgrades with cotton wood trees that have been planted in the front of the home and several other plants. Water is in abundance.  Improvements The custom home features 24 solar panels with 6000 watts of power with a 12,000 watt inverter leading into a 1050 amp power battery bank, also with a full solar well and a 1000 gallon water tank with automatic water troughs for all your livestock needs. If that’s not enough, the home also has a military grade 10,000 watt backup diesel generator featuring a 500 gallon diesel tank to make for an easy and fast fill of your generator.  So when the city, the town, or the state loses power and they will, your lights will always be on and your house will stay warm in any situation. It does not matter what is happening with the outside world, your family will have no worries. For your heat, the home has 2 propane gas stoves with a 500 gallon propane tank  and also has 2 pellet burning stoves so your family stays nice and warm and no worries of EVER of losing power. That really is a nice comfort that I think we all should have.   The home was just completed this May. Inside you will find a large open floor plan with bright natural lighting, custom acid stained low maintenance concrete floors for easy clean up and a great mudroom. The interior walls of the home are covered in gorgeous light Aspen wood and the kitchen cabinets are hard oak. The kitchen counter tops are custom made from a hickory and cherry wood mix with a bar top finish built to last and built to stay looking new year after year. The master bedroom is large and has a barn door slider leading into the bath with a walk-in closet and a fully tiled walk in rain shower. You will not run out of hot water as there is a tankless on demand water heater, take as long and as hot of showers as you like and don’t worry about the electric bill as there is NOT one! The other 2 bedrooms both have large armoires’ that are used as closets and will stay with the house.  In addition, attached to the house is a 1200 sqft  30 x 40 shop/garage with 240 volts for powering all your tools, and has a lot of light. The porch wraps around the front and side of the home providing plenty of shade, with views of the Ute Mountains, and is made of concrete with steel beams that will outlast all of us.
