The Davis Farm is a productive irrigated farm with valuable water rights in SE Colorado located 7 miles to downtown Trinidad, Colorado. The farm includes a spacious main home, detached shop/garage, outbuildings, working corrals, and water rights which include 625 shares of the Picketwire Ditch.  In addition, there is second residential farmhouse which could serve nicely for a guest home, ranch manager or rental property.  Many possibilities exist here for livestock or crop production, horses, hobby farm and much more!
 
Irrigated farms with strong water rights rarely come up for sale in this area. This property has been owned in the same family for almost 30 years. Approximately 167 acres are under irrigation through a gated pipe system. The remaining acreage is classified as grazing land. Dependent on yearly moisture, the farm normally produces 2 to 3 hay cuttings per season. With some pipe improvements and replanting the production of this farm could go up substantially. Other crops would also work well on this farm if desired.
 
The main home is spacious and has been well taken care of. There are dramatic views of Fishers Peak from the front porch and a nice deck out back to catch the afternoon breezes. There are 4 bedrooms that include a primary bedroom suite and a guest suite on the opposite side of the home. Enjoy a large eat in kitchen, huge pantry area, formal dining area, spacious living room, laundry room and fenced in front yard for a flower or herb garden. The home has a forced hot air furnace, fireplace and air conditioning for year round comfort. The older farmhouse has potential as a guest home, farm manager residence or rental.  Farm outbuildings consist of a newer shop and garage building with a massive loft, Quonset building for equipment storage, working corral area, and other sheds and barns of various sizes and conditions.
 
The Davis Farm has some hidden recreational hunting opportunities particularly for deer and turkey.  The northern end of the farm lies in a lush area with seeps, natural springs, ponds and cottonwood trees.  This area provides bedding, forage and water resources for deer and turkey which are often spotted on and around the farm.
