Hotchkiss Home and Acreage with Nearly Countless Opportunities
Irrigated Horse Pasture, Waterfowl-Attracting Ponds, Various Oubuildings, and Possible Large Gravel Deposits!
Located 5 miles west of Hotchkiss, Colorado, on Highway 92, this property offers an affordable Colorado acreage with water rights and horse pasture. The house is a fairly simple 3-bedroom, 2-bath stick-built home that is homey and comfortable inside. The acreage surrounding the home is in 3 separate parcels: the home and 11 acres (priced at $219,000); the east 48 acres with four ponds ($100,000) and the southern 71 acres with a ridge that may contain a recoverable gravel deposit ($100,000). You can buy each parcel separately or all three for $350,000. Back in the day, this property was used as a sheep ranch, and there are outbuildings and fencing to reflect that use. There are three separate irrigated horse pastures of 5-7 acres each. The easternmost parcel has four ponds that receive a constant flow of fresh water. Views to the east are of the West Elks mountain range. There are two inholdings with homes on each of them that are not part of the property, and the 48-acre parcel to the east is bounded by the railroad track. Sellers have reserved a .25/ton royalty for any gravel recovered from the property.
