Grand View Farm in Lewis, Colorado
This remarkable property features 80.4 acres of gently rolling fields of highly productive farmland irrigated with 50 shares of pressurized Montezuma Valley Irrigation (MVI) water. The MVI canal crosses Tract 1 north of Road W.8; irrigation flows into the pond and is pressurized through motorized side rolls via a pump system. The personal residence is a two-story home complemented by a heated barn/workshop/garage, large enough to accommodate a semi or RV. This space includes an office, half-bath, and a bedroom on the lower level. Upstairs, the residence offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a primary bath with a soaking tub and a window showcasing the breathtaking views. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area provide expansive views of the Cortez Valley, Ute Mountain, surrounding mesas including Mesa Verde National Park, and west to the La Plata Mountains near Durango, CO. Heating systems include in-floor radiant heat upstairs and baseboard radiant heat downstairs, both fueled by a new Lochinvar propane-fired boiler, with an additional wood-fired boiler available for the same system. The downstairs heated workshop can serve as storage, a workspace, or garage space. A separate 3-car garage offers ample room for family vehicles or farm equipment, plus a storage room. To the west, a separately fenced area is ideal for horses, cattle, or other livestock and includes two self-filling water basins. A well-built structure currently used for storage could be upgraded into a bunkhouse, guest quarters, or additional workshop, and has water and electricity available for an RV hookup. The property is fully fenced and cross-fenced. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a Colorado farm, this is it! And if you prefer not to manage the farmland yourself, a competent tenant farmer is willing to remain.
