Take in breathtaking La Plata Mountain views and exceptional privacy from the covered porch. No HOA or covenants. Pre-inspected.Irrigation Water 2 CFS (cubic feet per second adjudicated) is a substantial irrigation water right. Here’s how it applies to irrigating 23 acres: 2 cfs delivers about 4 acre-feet per 24 hours. How much land can you irrigate? One acre-foot covers 1 acre with 12 inches of water.Most crops in Colorado require 1.5–3 acre-feet per acre per season, depending on crop type, soil, and climate. If you run 2 cfs continuously: In 30 days, you would deliver 4 acre-feet/day×30=120 acre-feet. Spread over 23 acres, that’s 120÷23 5.2 acre-feet per acre per month. 2 CFS is more than sufficient to irrigate 23 acres—in fact, it’s enough to provide several feet of water per acre per month, which exceeds the seasonal needs for most crops. Annual cost is just $25! Way more water that MVI Montezuma Valley Irrigation System. Also the pond can be pumped out of and having a year round stream is a huge asset for animals to drink.
