Located on the southern periphery of Walsenburg, Colorado, the Bell S Spanish Peaks Ranch offers a multitude of possibilities to the discerning buyer. The ranch spans 6,865 deeded acres (+/-) and is afforded ease of access from frontage roads that parallel Interstate 25. The Bell S is perimeter and cross fenced into (9) pastures ranging from 321 to 975-acres. In addition, the ranch contains approximately 110-acres of irrigated crop currently planted in an alfalfa/bromegrass mix and sorghum. Annual hay production for 2024 is forecasted at 1.5-tons per acre. The ranch has grazed between 475 and 525 yearlings for the last three years (Mid-May through September), while resting 2 to 3 of the pastures. It is estimated that the ranch could handle up to 700+ yearlings over the same period assuming average annual precipitation. Two gallery wells distribute water to (12) above ground stock tanks dispersed throughout the individual pastures. Well number (1) is electric powered with a dedicated meter, while well number (2) was recently upgraded to solar. There are also several dirt tanks and ponds that gather seasonal rain fall and run-off. The ranch contains senior water rights originating from the Cucharas River. Existing improvements are grain bins, a Quonset building and a recently updated set of working pens. The ranch is afforded panoramic views to the west that include the Spanish Peaks, Sangre De Cristo and Wet Mountains. A sizable arroyo extends through the central portion of the ranch that serves as both a wildlife corridor and shelter for the livestock. Pronghorn and mule deer are common inhabitants with the occasional sighting of elk. The direct frontage and visibility along Interstate 25 presents the possibility of future commercial development. Wind, solar, or conservation easement are all possible uses. The town of Walsenburg and its amenities are a short 5 minute drive for the ranch.
