Land and Water Rights There are several springs located on this property, making it a rare find for the horse lover or for someone who would want to produce their own organically grown beef. In addition to all the springs, there is a creek that runs down through the lower meadow that feeds into Wilson Creek. This land is sold with water rights to this spring. This is unheard of in Colorado today. The land is lush and green and well watered, as the springs are located throughout the property and sub-irrigate portions of several pastures. To sum up the land. there are six pastures - five springs. One spring feeds the barn pasture and the rest of the springs are on the lower meadow that is currently a production hay meadow. Hay production is about 6.5 ton/year. A portion of the large pasture out front where the unfinished riding arena is located is also watered by sub-irrigation from the mainspring, which adds an additional grassy meadow. The property is entirely perimeter fenced and crossed fenced to provide six separate pastures to ensure great pasture rotation to maximize the use of pastures through good land stewardship. Wildlife When you live in the west, you appreciate the abundant variety of wildlife, including elk and deer that call this cozy valley home. With the abundant water on the property, you can watch the animals come in for a cool drink and watch them meander through the meadow as they graze on the lush native grass. and don't forget the beautiful wildflowers. The white and lavender Rocky Mountain Columbines, Colorado's State Flower, with their soft blue color and delicate aroma call this valley home too.
