IMPROVEMENTS

The 3,127 square foot main residence was designed for longevity and ease of maintenance with a stucco and stone exterior, metal roof and custom windows and doors. The floor plan consists of a three-bedroom, three and one-half bath design with a walk-out basement. Parking is provided by a detached (3) car garage that contains ample storage. The location of the master suite on the main floor allows for single level living if desired. Additional features and amenities include; a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry and granite countertops, five-piece bath in master suite with adjoining walk-in closet, laundry room, oversized custom picture windows, wood burning and gas fireplaces, basement level bar and kitchenette, office and bonus room. A paver patio is located off the walk-out basement and features a wood burning firepit, stone seating and covered dining area. Preparedness features include; below ground water cistern tanks, a water catchment system, sizable solar system with battery storage, backup generator and a greenhouse complete with air circulation and irrigation systems.

A 40’ x 60’ metal shop building is positioned a short distance from the main residence and includes a (1) bedroom apartment/caretakers’ quarters. The insulated shop area contains concrete floors, automated roll up doors, cabinets and shelving for storage and a wood burning stove. There is an additional 30’ x 50’ metal building that was designed for tractor, equipment and/or general storage. Additional structures include a lean-to for firewood storage and a trap/skeet shooting hut.

LAND & RECREATION

The ranch contains (3) contiguous tax parcels totaling 103.8-acres. Topography ranges from pine and aspen forest hills to irrigated and sub irrigated grass meadows at an elevation of 8,000 to 8,300 feet. Tallahassee Creek flows the length of the property and serves as the primary source for the Gardner Ditch No. 2 and No. 4 water/ditch rights that irrigate the grass meadows (water right summary available). Tallahassee Creek flows through (3) trout fishing ponds and serves as a draw to wildlife, which include Elk, Mule, Deer, Black Bear and Turkey. The ranch is partially perimeter and cross fenced with an automated entry gate along County Road 21A. An in-place grazing lease ensures AG status and reduced property taxes. For the hunter, the ranch is located in Game Management Unit (GMU) 58, which is a draw unit for Deer and Elk.
