Trout Garden on Tomichi Creek

Farm Description

Trout Garden on Tomichi Creek is a particularly unique 500+/- acre offering due to its location, diversity in land classification, and topography. It is located immediately off of Highway 50 approximately 25 miles east of Gunnison. The property is bordered by Highway 50 on the north and then surrounded by BLM and Usfs to the south and east. Most of the acreage is in the irrigated valley on both sides of Tomichi Creek which runs through the property for approximately 1 mile. While part of the ranch is in Gunnison County, there is a developable portion of the property located in Saguache County. This property lends itself to a cluster development in a serene hidden location on the southeast end of the ranch along a half-mile stretch of Owens Creek. As such, it is a prime candidate for a new conservation easement. It has excellent water rights and puts up about a 1.5 tons of hay per acre on over 300 acres under excellent adjudicated water rights. This is a very dynamic landscape packed in approximately 500 deeded acres with a large bluff, seclusion and privacy and immediate access to paved highway. Improvements consist of livestock working and loading facilities, a calving barn, and a set of covered livestock scales. From the tax advantages of the agricultural exempt status of the ranch provided from the haying and grazing operation to the hunting and fishing on Tomichi Creek, this is an action-packed farm, ranch, hunting and fishing acreage. Welcome to your own private road and gun club with the exit strategy of a development opportunity under Saguache Countys favorable regulations, or a conservation easement.
