Offering 20 acres near Indian Hills for responsible seasonal grazing and a long-term livestock partnership.

Our goal is to restore the property’s historic agricultural use through a genuine, for-profit seasonal grazing operation. We want to work with an experienced livestock producer to establish an appropriate stocking rate, protect forage and forest health, and improve wildfire resilience without overgrazing. We can provide access to the barn, power, well water and an existing route to a stock-water area, and are open to practical fencing and water improvements. We prefer a documented, renewable arrangement with clear responsibilities for livestock care, fencing, water, access and land monitoring. The owner will retain occasional recreational use while respecting the agricultural operation.

General Information

Quality of Land

Approximately 39.59 total acres, with an estimated 20 acres potentially suitable for seasonal grazing. No acreage is currently irrigated, and no established pasture-irrigation system exists. The property includes open grassland, an aspen-grove pasture, forested slopes and steeper terrain. An operational well and pump can deliver water from the barn to a small stock-water collection area or trough. No known wetlands or significant natural water bodies are present.

I'm not sure if I have water rights.

Water Source

Domestic Well (without augmentation plan), No Irrigation/Dryland

Irrigation Infrastructure

No established pasture or crop-irrigation system is currently installed, and no acreage is regularly irrigated. The property has an operational domestic well and pump supplying running water at the barn and an exterior spigot. An existing hose route can carry water from the barn into the aspen-grove pasture, where it has historically supplied a small stock-water collection area. This system is currently operational and could potentially supply a livestock trough or stock tank. Well capacity and authorized livestock uses are being verified.

Description of Housing

The owner uses the property occasionally during part of the year for camping. Two privately owned, RV-style mobile units are located near the barn and are reserved for the owner’s personal use; they are not included as farmer or rancher housing. The permitted barn is a nonresidential agricultural/accessory structure and does not contain living quarters. No housing or right to establish residency is being offered with the grazing arrangement. The livestock operator and authorized workers would have scheduled access for animal care and property management.

Would the property qualify for organic certification?

Current Production

Large Animal Grazing

Additional Production Details

39.59-acre mountain property with open grassland, aspen pasture, forest and sloped terrain. Improvements include a permitted barn, power, an operational well and pump, perimeter fencing and access routes. Water can be run from the barn to a small stock-water collection area in the aspen pasture. The property is currently used for camping a few times a year, maintenance and wildfire mitigation, with no active agricultural operation or full-time residence. The previous owner used it for seasonal cattle grazing through a local livestock operator. We hope to responsibly restore that agricultural use.

Current & Past Practices

Regenerative
Conventional

Additional Details

We prefer responsible, pasture-based management tailored to the property’s forage and terrain. Rotational or managed seasonal grazing is encouraged where practical, with an appropriate stocking rate and protection of the aspen pasture, forest edges and water areas. Preventing overgrazing, erosion and invasive weeds is important. We are open to both regenerative and conventional operators whose livestock receive most of their feed from grazing while on the property and who maintain clear records of grazing dates and livestock numbers. Organic practices are welcome but not required.

1-4 Years

Negotiable

Tenure Arrangement Details

We prefer an initial one-season grazing lease with an experienced, for-profit livestock operator. The arrangement would establish appropriate livestock numbers, grazing dates, water access, fencing responsibilities, land-monitoring expectations and a firm removal date. Lease payment is negotiable based on carrying capacity and each party’s responsibilities. We are willing to discuss sharing reasonable startup costs for durable fencing or livestock-water improvements. No housing, public access or exclusive year-round possession is included. If the first season is successful, both parties may renew or transition to a longer-term agreement in writing.
