7531 High Mesa Road

Olathe, CO 81425

Versatile farm on High Mesa just a few miles southwest of Olathe--this 79.1-acre farm can accomplish many things. Currently planted in feed corn and pinto beans, the farm has also been used to grow sweet corn, onions, hay, truck garden vegetables, and all manner of crops as well as a home base for cattle and sheep operations. The neighbor to the east has a nicely producing orchard that grows pears, apples, and peaches, and no doubt wine grapes would do well there also. The farm is well watered with 56.4 shares of Uncompahgre Water, which is known as a strong water right for Western Colorado farms. It also has 2 Tri-County water taps with a 4" domestic line crossing the property, so additional homesites would be very feasible. The farm has a nice set of corrals and either lambing or calving sheds, as well as loading chute and squeeze chute. A sleeper asset here is the poultry sheds, which were designed and built to raise racing pigeons and fancy chicken breeds. The barns are well suited for that purpose, but could also be used to raise pigs, lambs, 4H animals, or could easily be re-purposed as a large dog kennel. Built in 1925, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is 1,985 square feet with 2 bedrooms upstairs and the master suite downstairs. The home was remodeled in the 1980's or 1990's, but could use updating today. It is functional and sound. Livestock producers will appreciate the year-round spring that bubbles up in the middle of one of the pastures, which provided a free-flowing source of year-round water for horses, cattle, and sheep. The spring feeds a one-acre pond that is also stocked with fish.
