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 are4 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.
