At an elevation of approximately 7,250 feet in the fertile Chama Valley, the Brazos View Farm combines 13.7 acres of level, irrigated hay fields, productive vegetable plots, and hydroponic greenhouse space with excellent year-round access off US HWY 64/84. Fully fenced with a gated entrance along the highway, the farm includes timothy grass fields, in-ground vegetable beds, and controlled-environment growing systems. An acequia, sand-bed filtration pond, two large water storage tanks and underground 8-inch mainline with above-ground valves provide efficient irrigation to both outdoor crops and greenhouses.

Improvements

Brazos View Farm is equipped with a full suite of infrastructure designed for efficient, year-round agricultural production. Two commercial-size greenhouses, each measuring 30 by 96 feet, support both hydroponic and soil-based vegetable systems. Water from the acequia flows into a fully fenced sand-bed filtration pond and then through an advanced purification system, producing potable-quality water ideal for hydroponic and other vegetable production. An underground 8-inch mainline distributes water to multiple access points for both greenhouse and field irrigation.

A new 1232-foot sales shed just inside the gate of the property includes a CoolBot walk-in cooler for post-harvest storage, while a 1224-foot storage shed provides space for tools and supplies. A 1010-foot pump shed houses the solar and water system infrastructure, and a separate 1010-foot climate-controlled cooling shedmaintained at a steady 60 degreesstores seed, produce, and hydroponics chemicals.

Although the entirety of the farm operation is currently powered by solar and the ditch-supplied irrigation water, grid electricity is available along the highway and a city water tap is already installed near the sales shed, so propsective buyers looking to build a home can live off-grid, on-grid, or a combination of both!

If desired, the seller is willing to train the buyer on the operation of the solar, water, and greenhouse systems to ensure a smooth transition.
