7715 S State Highway 83

Franktown, CO 80116

An extremely rare opportunity has hit the market! 129 acres of grazing land, creek bottom, irrigated hay meadow with paved highway access, and an adorable well-maintained home, all wrapped into one package. The historic barns and massive willow trees that line West Cherry Creek, which runs through the full length of the property, are the perfect backdrop to this gorgeous property. Whether you live in the current home, or build your own custom dream home you will be able to sit on the back porch listening to the creek flowing by and watching your cattle graze. The location is prime too, country living with the benefit of a quick commute to Denver or the Springs via HWY 83. The property is capable of producing between 35 and 45 ton of grass hay in a growing season. Some of the hay ground is upland grass hay while the majority of the hay grounds are sub-irrigated by West Cherry Creek. A large portion,(approximately 40%), is irrigated by a deeded 1/2 interest in thGoodrich Ditch water right. This surface water is diverted directly from the creek, by head gate, into the Goodrich Ditch entitling it to a flow rate of 2.5 cubic feet per second. This property comes with an abundance of ground water contained in the 5 major aquifers lying below the surface, within the ranch boundaries. None of the ground water has been severed from the ranch property. With so much development all around the state, water is the new silver and gold! There are an additional 345 acres (not currently in the MLS) available on the east side of the highway, contiguous to this offering, by the same owner, which could increase potential buyers holdings to a total of 474 acres +/- This property checks all the boxes for the perfect gentleman's ranch or hobby farmer. They aren't making any more land, and certainly not with what this property has to offer! It is a slice of heaven as is, and has the potential to be even more! Properties like these are rare, schedule your showing today!
