Painter Ranch subdivision is the last large acreage development in the north Animas Valley with significant river frontage. There are 8 parcels averaging 15 acres, and all but one of them has river frontage. This listing is offering the acreage as a whole, with all of the improvements, including a gated entry, road system, utilities, caretaker residence, hay barn and storage barn. There are water rights and 10 irrigated acres, two ponds and over .8 of a mile of Animas River frontage. The topography includes lush pastures, pine woodlands, riparian areas, mountain sides with dramatic rock outcroppings. This property is easily accessible from CR 250 and yet provides great privacy. It would make an exceptional family compound or retreat. There are great building sites on each parcel and the recreational attributes are exceptional. Should one choose not to fully develop the property, there may be significant tax benefits available for placing a portion of it into a conservation easement.
