Only 10 minutes outside of Cedaredge, this piece of heaven is ideally located for anyone looking for a truly remarkable homestead-style property. Historic irrigation water rights run with the land, and is the lifeblood to the tall grass, lush gardens, dripping berry bushes, fruit trees, a stunning Catalpa, and more. In Western Colorado, our irrigation water is as important as the ground itself. This property features multiple sources of irrigation and a rich history in those rights. The NRCS assisted in designing a fantastic and top-of-the-line irrigation delivery system, which helps to make the irrigated acreage as efficient and productive as possible, all while being very easy to maintain and care for. There is also a registered domestic well! The commanding log residence features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a living room that looks out over the beautiful fields and provides an unending view of the countryside and mountain ranges.
