PLUS the property also has deal in place for propane to be provided and delivered to both the home and well house free of charge! This is truly a unique property for this area with boundless possibilities. Stand in the middle of this property and you have amazing views spanning both the La Plata and San Juan Mountain Ranges. The Arboles Lakes and Irrigation Ranch boasts +/-160 acres of recreational diversity anchored by three ponds and a live water creek. These water sources provide irrigation via side-roll sprinkler systems to vast alfalfa fields, that attract and nourish wildlife while also producing an income for the owner. Sambrito Creek runs for more than a half mile through the western portion of this ranch as it meanders through tall cottonwood trees, sage and native grasses. The creek flows year round and gets to about 8 to 12 feet wide under normal flow. Property is also being offered for 260 deeded acres for $2,145,000. The property comes with the following water rights: 3 CFS from Sambrito Creek. 10 deeded shares from the Pine River Canal. A two bedroom, one bath home and a 60'x100' metal shop sit atop the high point on the ranch overlooking three of the ponds. The home features a large living room, bonus room and a large covered, east facing patio that is set to deliver awe inspiring views of the San Juan mountain range. There is large, southwestern floor tile throughout, granite countertops in the kitchen and plenty of natural light shining through to the living room. There is also an oversized, attached garage area with storage rooms and plenty of space for vehicles, gear and equipment, all without going outside. The exterior of the home features an easy to care for metal roof and a fenced and irrigated lawn. The 60'x100' metal shop has a concrete floor throughout, super tall overhead doors and can handle just about anything you might want to park in it. The future uses of this building are endless. With the interior rafters at nearly 20 feet tall, you could finish a loft in one portion, or use the building as a mechanic or fabrication shop, There is a large aviary on the northern side of the property. This was originally constructed as a large raptor sanctuary or rehabilitation facility and has been used in the past as flight pens for quail and pheasants. This is a high quality, partially open-air building and you would only be limited by your imagination in how you wanted to utilize it. There is also a smaller aviary, suitable for chickens, domestic ducks or geese on the property as well. There is a large, stucco well house that hosts the domestic water well. It has a concrete floor and a lot of free space available for storage or it could be utilized in any number of ways. The current owners had thought about using the extra space as a game processing room. You are only limited by your imagination. This ranch sits in the middle of the mule deer migration route and attracts large numbers of quality bucks in the late fall and early winter months. Many large and mature bucks have been shot off of the property over the years. As the animals travel through the area, they are particularly attracted to this property as it has water to drink, alfalfa hay to eat and a cedar covered hillside to bed within. There is also good waterfowl hunting on the property. The ponds are teaming with bass and catfish. One of the larger ponds is known to hold 5 to 6 lbs. largemouth bass and the depth of that pond would support other varieties of fish, if desired. Read Less
