Property Description

RARE OPPORTUNITY to own a uniquely multi-faceted, irrigated 29.612 acre parcel of land located 5 minutes from downtown Bayfield, yet still offering privacy and a feeling of seclusion. The property itself is hidden from view on paved section of CR 509. It's comprised of wide open, gently sloping tree lined pastures, and a rock outcropping that is tucked in the trees overlooking the lowest pasture. It offers shelter to many species of wildlife including deer, bald eagles, red tail hawks & turkeys. Two homes are allowed according to LaPlata County Planning Dept, with the following requirements: (A) homes need to share utilities, and: (B) homes require separate permits obtained through the planning department process. Electricity is available at the NE corner of the property, water provided from LaPlata Archuleta Water District, and a septic system per requirements of La Plata County. There are several ideal building locations to choose from including some with great views of the La Plata Mountains and all with great solar potential. The second home (ADU per county) could be utilized to house extended family, friends, caretaker or create additional income. Property allows livestock + facilities, and there is NO HOA or COVENANTS! Water rights include 1 share of the King Ditch and 20 acres of PRID. There's a natural pond that's had year-round water during the Seller's 27 years of ownership, which is thought (but not verified or guaranteed) to be spring fed. During irrigation season, this pond is situated to collect run-off irrigation water, which has overflowed and found its way to the lowest pasture. The Seller hasn't utilized the property for the past several years, but in previous years it has been leased to cattle, horses and herbal gardeners. There have been no chemicals used on the property during Seller's ownership. If you’re looking for a place to build, this spot has endless opportunities. Shown by appointment only and agent must accompany Buyer.
