Just Reduced to $4900 per acre representing an amazing opportunity to create your own Homestead Legacy! This property, initially utilized for wheat, barley, and oat farming, seamlessly transitioned into the Routt County Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in 1986. Under the stewardship of the Conservation, the managed grassland and environmental enhancements have significantly improved the land. The CRP program ended in October 2021, providing the new owner with the freedom to manage the 333-acre prime grassland at their discretion.Located approximately 10 miles southwest of Hayden, with access from the gravel road CR59A, this Homestead is a haven for diverse bird species, including whooping cranes and game birds. The tranquil landscape is also shared with antelope, deer, and elk. Noteworthy features include three rare water sources, a permitted domestic well near the original home, the year-round flowing Marvin D Barnes Springs, and a registered monitoring well on the south side.Adding to its allure, the property boasts a power line and supply to the original Homestead, offering substantial savings for future construction endeavors. Included are all mineral rights, some extending to adjacent properties, with past oil and gas leases proving to be lucrative in the past.
Encompassed by open farmland, the 333 acres offer breathtaking panoramic views to the north, spanning Bears Ears, the Hayden Valley, and northeast towards the Steamboat Springs area. The entire west side is bordered by CR 59A, providing direct access to various special sites. A recent survey has been conducted, and corners are set and flagged. Older structures, granaries, and silos on the property echo a bygone era, yet hold the promise of a future in new agricultural operations, hunting, rural living, or as a continued peaceful refuge for those seeking the unique qualities offered by this property - now available for the first time in a considerable span.
