"SERIOUS INQUIRIES FROM QUALIFIED BUYERS ONLY PLEASE"

I lovingly refer to this property as "The Bar J Homestead". This is a rare opportunity for the appropriate buyer, as this caliber of property with senior water rights comes along once in a blue moon. The "Bar J Homestead" is nestled in the heart of the Tallahassee Valley which is in the mountains northwest of Canon City, south of Guffey and west of the historic town of Cripple Creek, Colorado. Access to the ranch is from an excellent year-round, well maintained, county road. This 223 acre property consists of open pasture land with knee deep grasses highlighted with the wildflowers of the season and forested areas of huge mature ponderosa pines, fir trees, aspens, cottonwoods, a year-round flowing creek, a beautiful catch pond, and awesome historic water rights. These SENIOR ADJUDICATED WATER RIGHTS allow an unprecedented rate of 2CFS (cubic feet per second) and they date back to the 1800's. Water rights like this are virtually unheard of in today's real estate marketplace. PLUS, there is another 240 acres of adjoining BLM land!!!
The land itself presents a unique balance of nearly 50% open irrigated pasture land and 50% tree covered hillside that leads to the adjoining 240 acres of BLM land. This property is ideal for an equestrian center, working horse ranch, small cattle ranch, hunting facility etc.
There is a large newly constructed wooden barn with guest quarters. The barn has electric and can be finished to your individual taste with horse stalls, a tack room, or a large shop and still have plenty of room for all of your other toys such as tractors, implements, ATVs and such.
The existing home on the property features 3 bedrooms, two baths and was originally built in the 1950's. It has recently been upgraded and remodeled with new log siding, metal roof, windows, front deck, and an enclosed side porch that can be used as a sun room, enclosed patio, workshop, mud room, office etc. The tax assessor's office indicates that the square footage is approx 2,000 sq. ft. The interior of the house has been remolded with new floor coverings, cabinetry, counter tops, and more. The kitchen is nice and roomy with plenty of room for gathering around the dining room table.
Separate quest quarters next to the barn has been tastefully furnished and decorated. Other features of the guest quarters include a wood burning stove, a small kitchenette, and private bath. The house and guest quarters will be sold furnished excluding seller's personal objects.
The land is incredible, the water rights are extraordinary, and the life style that you can enjoy here is beyond description. This property is shown by appointment to qualified buyers only…
