Own a 265 acre working farm that has everything you need to make a living in agriculture. You will not find a farm with better water rights in the entire country due to Montezuma Valley Irrigation Company's pre-22 water rights. MVIC derives its water from the Dolores River along with their ownership of the Groundhog and Narraguinnep reservoirs. As an added benefit, the company enjoys the security of the 2nd largest reservoir in the state, the McPhee reservoir where additional rights are stored. The irrigation system has 2 pumps and underground pipelines that deliver water to 8 irrigation systems. The farm has multiple outbuildings, a large hay barn, a machine shop with garage doors, and machinery shed. The RV sight with power close by is perched at a location with fantastic views. The additional insulated building adds even more of a benefit for any who have toys to keep safe from weather. Just below the residence lies an amazing pond with abundant wildlife year round. This 265 piece of land is truly a working farm with everything you need to make a living and enjoy the most fantastic views. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
