With paved access off South Road or 38th Lane, and sweeping views of Pikes Peak and the Wet Mountains, the property offers both agricultural potential and an appealing rural lifestyle.
The farm’s greatest asset is its tremendous water resources. Included are 73 shares of Bessemer Irrigating Ditch Company water, along with irrigation well permit #6847-R.
