Incredible first time offering of this historic ranch located on the Rio Grande River with senior water rights and 6225 feet of river frontage (and over 9500 feet of river bank).This stunning 342+/- ranch has green lush pastures surrounded and interspersed with mature stands of trees throughout the property for a breathtaking working ranch atmosphere. The water rights on this ranch are mainly through the Raber Ditch which is Priority #73 on the Rio Grande River. The decreed amount is 3.8 c.f.s. total from the Raber and Annie Raber ditches. There is 1.4 cfs from the Raber Ditch (priority #73) and 2.4 cfs from the Annie Raber (priority 365). There is also a substantial amount of sub-water and numerous wells on the ranch. WATER GALORE! The property has substantial barns, outbuildings, pens, and corrals for working livestock. There is a 1500 +/- farmhouse, and an older bunkhouse. If ranch work is not what you are looking for, there is a resident herd of elk that partly call the ranch home as well as trophy mule deer and a variety of other wildlife species. The ranch currently recieves disbursement tags for elk (six in the spring and six in the fall). The ranch is located in unit 79 where much coveted landowner mule deer tags may be applied for and subsequently sold. The more than 9000 feet of river bank is virgin water where trophy trout and pike abound! This property is located within a short 10 minute drive to Del Norte for all major conveniences and a short 30 minute drive to a commercial airport in Alamosa. This one is priced based on a recent and close comparable (the ranch next door) and is priced to sell quickly. Act soon.
