Olathe Hunting, Farm & Feedlot is a terrific opportunity to purchase a very diverse 160 +/- acre combination pasture and irrigated farm with amazing views of the Grand Mesa and surrounding mountains in Western Colorado, lying west of the wonderful community of Olathe, home to famous Olathe Sweet Corn, 1 hour south of Grand Junction and 20 minutes northwest of Montrose, both cities offer commercial air service. This farm offers approximately 60 +/- acres of flood irrigated land, 80 +/- acres of rolling pasture with trees and 20 +/- acres of improvements, feeding pens, trails and roads. The farm is well watered and includes 86 shares (1.6 CFS) of Uncompahgre Valley Water Users Assn. water and three Tri-County Water taps. The Sellers have done extensive upgrades to the irrigation system over the past 2 years. The tillable acres have normally been used to grow corn, sweet corn, alfalfa, feed crops and wheat, all of which optimize the traditionally used backgrounding feedlot. The pastures are equipped with automatic waterers being supplied with water via a pipeline system and have average to good fences. Historically the Sellers have run 30 to 35 cow/calf pairs in the pastures and on the farmland in the Fall cleaning up the after-feed. The improvements include a modest older and recently remodeled 3 bedroom, 1 bath house with a detached 2 car garage, a feedmill, cattle processing barn, shop, grain bins, bunker silo, livestock scale, corrals and several feeding pens. There is also a large area for equipment and hay storage. The hunting on this property is very good to excellent, located less than a mile from thousands of acres of BLM land, the property attracts huge mule deer, bear, turkey, varmints and a variety of upland birds. In addition to the lush irrigated crops there are several mature tree rows for cover and also the "Candyland" row of apple trees. The Olathe Hunting, Farm & Feedlot property definitely offers the potential Buyer a variety of opportunities. With some work and improvements it could be a great hunting property, it has potential as a fully operational backgrounding lot close to several livestock markets, it would also be an excellent location for a smaller purebred or club calf operation, or possibly an equestrian facility. There are also several wineries in the area. The opportunities are endless!
