This is a perfect setting for a small diversified farm of small animals and food crops. It would serve especially well for a person who has an outside job, especially seasonal, such as raft guide, ski patrol, or an at home computer based job.
General Information
Quality of Land
There are 83 acres under a new side roll irrigation system. It uses exactly the decreed 1.62 CFS of water stored in a reservoir. It takes 5 days to put down about 5 inches of water. The system allows for flexible use of the land. Perhaps some acres of vegetables, some acres of grains, some acres of pasture forage, some hay production, can each be appropriately irrigated.
The balance of 40 plus acres is land surface irrigated opportunistically and sub-irrigated. It is perfect for managed grazing. For a person thinking of a larger operation, there are numerous surface water pivots for lease in the area. These are primarily 120 acre circles fed by the Sanchez Reservoir.
