The Barn + Greenhouse
The majestic historic barn is over 100 years old and was partially restored with similar wood from the same era. It features a new hay loft and conveyor, and 3 existing horse stalls. views of the barn are breathtaking in every season.
The new custom designed greenhouse offers storage, and features GAHT earth cooling and heating system with circulation and exhaust fans, raised planting beds and a wood work bench.
The Land + Water
the land is agriculturally zoned and situated near a local reservoir which is open to membership and low impact recreational activities. The property offers multiple sources of water including Longs Peak District water to the house, an irrigation well, and 2 shares of Supply Ditch and sub-irrigation. Three irrigation creeks run through the property, 2 Highland and 1 Supply. Two shares of Supply creek water are included. The pastures and hayfields are largely sub irrigated. The non-potable water well is used for landscape and garden irrigation and has never run dry.
Hay fields – 29 of the acres are divided into 6 hayfields which are bio-dynamically cultivated and are herbicide and pesticide free. Some fields are more grass, some are more alfalfa. most all also have some clover and relatively few weeds. During 6 years of the previous ownership, an average of 2,400 square bales of hay were harvested in the spring and approximately 1,000 harvested in the fall - with no irrigation. The fields are largely sub-irrigated because of the close proximity to three active irrigation ditches.
After 6 seasons of hay operations, the owners have a loyal following of customers for hay purchases. Nearly 100% of the hay is sold just after cutting, and clients have provided unsolicited compliments for its appeal to the many animals which are fed this hay. (Horses, cows, goats, sheep, alpacas and more.)
The dedicated chicken coop has water and electricity, 8 nesting boxes, and is caged and fenced to protect the hens.
