Description
40 acres of irrigated ground just outside Cedaredge with mountain views, water rights, and income potential. The property includes water shares in Big Ditch Company, Surface Creek Ditch and Reservoir Company, and Young Creek, along with a pressurized irrigation system recently upgraded with 2, 000 micro-jet emitters. Also included is a spring-fed seepage pond, a year-round creek, and an approved domestic well permit (not drilled) for up to 3 residences. The land is fully perimeter fenced and includes a productive apple orchard with 4, 000 mature Jonagold trees, currently managed by a local farmer. The orchard averages around 100 bins per year with past yields up to 200 bins, and it's one year away from certified organic status. Apples are sold annually to a commercial buyer who handles the harvest. The seller uses drone spraying for organic maintenance. Orchard equipment is not included but may be available separately. The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was built in 1938 and is being sold as-is. It’s livable and could serve as a primary residence, rental, or basecamp for a new build. The property is eligible for Colorado’s agricultural tax classification, which may offer lower property taxes and potential tax deductions for operational expenses. If a buyer isn’t interested in maintaining the orchard, the land would be well-suited for a tree farm, livestock, or other ag ventures. Located minutes from town with easy access to recreation, this is a rare opportunity to live and work on a scenic and productive Western Colorado property.Show Description
