Known locally as the Raybara Ranch, this beautiful property has been operated for the last 20 years as a working family ranch. It offers a unique combination of pasture, wooded ridge land, irrigated acreage, sub-irrigated pasture and river bottom land along the scenic Cucharas River. The ranch includes valuable senior water rights dating back to the 1880's which rarely come available in Southern Colorado. The ranch offers prime building sites for a new home on ridges overlooking the river valley with stunning views of the Spanish Peaks and Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range. This ranch has operated as a working ranch for many years with livestock and hay production, but could easily be used as a recreational or retirement ranch, horse ranch, hunting ranch or a combination of uses. The ranch headquarters consists of a older ranch home and typical working facilities used in the operation of the ranch. Upgrades could be made to accommodate the buyer's needs for ranch and residential use, guest home, or an on-site ranch manager. The ranch also includes numerous outbuildings used for cattle and hay production and currently operates as a self-sustaining cow/calf operation. The ranch boasts over miles of Cucharas River frontage and bottom lands with abundant hunting and recreational opportunities. Elk, mule deer, whitetail deer, and antelope, are seen regularly on and around the ranch. The ranch also has ideal habitat for upland birds and waterfowl. The river bottom area provides good cover and water resources for game bird activity, especially turkey and dove. The ranch could easily be used for equestrian purposes using existing facilities with plenty of room to ride and explore. The ranch is conveniently situated with frontage on State Hwy 12 and Hwy 160, just minutes to the historic town of La Veta, Colorado. In addition, the property is only 15 minutes to Walsenburg and Interstate 25, and an easy drive to Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and Denver.
