Acreage Off Market

, Hayden Outdoors, C: , pdoyle, - : South Parlin Ranch is a truly spectacular recreational and agricultural property consisting of 204 acres (+/-). The land is comprised mostly of flood irrigated hay meadows with excellent water rights, livestock working corrals, and a 5-acre building site where a residence may be built. Tomichi Creek flows through the entire length of the ranch and provides excellent fishing. Mother Nature created a masterpiece when she designed the trout habitat on Tomichi Creek, which extends the length of the ranch. This freestone fishery offers consistent temperatures, mild gradient, diverse insect population and self-supporting trout habitat that is home to rainbow and brown trout. The fall fishing for large brown trout is exceptional. Thousands of BLM acres border the southern property line and provide endless recreational opportunities including excellent deer and elk hunting. The ranch is enrolled in the Colorado Landowner Preference Program, which produces a coveted Unit 551 mule deer voucher nearly every single year for the landowner to utilize themselves or sell to someone of their choosing. Eight levee control structures along the creek channel allows water to be pooled in providing excellent waterfowl habitat. This beautiful property is part of a unique ecosystem in the Tomichi Creek Valley that is protected by over 15,000 acres of ranches under conservation easement. The conservation easements ensure the valuable natural characteristics will remain intact, yet does not interfere with the agricultural operations. The conserved status ensures the ecosystem will remain largely as is, therefore enhancing future value. The flood irrigated lands are served by riparian water rights from Tomichi Creek and distributed by ditches with numerous diversion structures. The land produces about 200 tons of native hay annually. The Irrigation Water rights include: 12.09 CFS out of Tomichi Creek via the Hannah J. Winters #2 Ditch (Appropriation date of July 1, 1881). Home and outbuildings on adjacent parcel also available for purchase.
