About this property
Discover a truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a historic and highly diversified farming and ranching operation in Elbert County, Colorado. Held and carefully stewarded by the same family for more than 130 years, this expansive property represents a rare blend of legacy, productivity, and natural beauty. The ranch encompasses 2,634.79± acres of cropland and 3,052± acres of native grassland, offering outstanding versatility for row crop production, grazing, and long-term land investment. FSA base acres include 1,054.13 acres of wheat with a 28 bushel yield and 233.41 acres of corn with a 38 bushel yield, with all future FSA payments to follow the crops pursuant to FSA regulations. Seller will retain 100% of the 2026 wheat crop. The landscape features level to gently rolling terrain, live water, spring-fed ponds, and abundant wildlife habitat, with frequent sightings of mule deer and pronghorn. Improvements include three residences, substantial grain storage, and two well-equipped shops that support a fully functioning agricultural enterprise. From nearly every vantage point, enjoy sweeping views of Pikes Peak, adding a remarkable scenic element to daily ranch operations. Location: From the intersection of HWY 71 in Limon, go south 16 miles just past mile marker #85, west on CO RD 2N for 3 miles, south 4 miles on CO RD 197, then west 11/2 miles to headquarters. Legal: All of Sections 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 32 except SW/4SW/4, 33, and 34 in T12 R57; NW/4NW/4 of Section 4-13-57; and NE/4NE/4, N/2NW/4NE/4, N/2NE/4NW/4 of Section 5-13-57, all in Elbert County, Colorado. Possession of improvements will be at closing, with possession of grass and cropland acres at closing subject to tenant's rights, if any. Seller will reserve one-half of the existing owned mineral rights perpetually. Taxes for 2026 will be prorated to the date of closing (2025 taxes were $9,573.68). Properties of this scale, history, and diversity seldom become available, presenting a rare opportunity to secure a legacy agricultural holding in eastern Colorado.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
