Ford Road Farm

Ford Road Farm is a multifaceted rural residential property, featuring two residences, a large shop building, and a productive field with irrigation rights. The property offers multiple revenue streams, and still-untapped opportunities as a small farm, business HQ, or horse property. Ask about buyer incentives (furniture/improvements allowance). Additionally, an Oliver tractor and multiple attachments may be available with purchase.

LandThis 4.75-acre property has agricultural zoning, level topography, existing fencing, and a productive irrigated pasture.

ImprovementsThe property’s home includes two separate residences. The historic 2-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse was originally built in 1908, and updated in 2021. It features hardwood flooring in each bedroom; a charming, well-appointed kitchen; and large living and dining areas. An addition built in 2014 has a second 2-bedroom home, complete with a kitchen, living room, and spacious master suite with a large attached bathroom with a walk-in shower; the second bedroom in this unit is a versatile space that has direct outdoor access, as well as access to a full unfinished basement. The home also has a multipurpose sun room (the original farmhouse’s “well room”), and a sizable laundry room. The home has a new septic system (April 2020), and new roof and new gutters (July 2021).

These dual residences have provided the owners with a significant income stream: the farmhouse has been rented to a long-term tenant (that lease is now up), and the newer addition has been consistently rented on Airbnb.

The property also features an approximately 30×40 shop building, with power, water, an RV hookup (with 50-amp service), and a heavy-duty concrete floor. This building could be put to many uses (garage, workshop), or rented out as an additional income source. There’s also an approximately 20×24 horse barn with ample room for a stall and tack storage. The property has multiple outdoor water hydrants.

RecreationThe recreational opportunities offered by Pueblo Reservoir, the Arkansas River, and the San Isabel National Forest are all within a short drive from this property.

AgricultureA fully fenced, irrigated pasture and potential hayfield comprises most of the property’s 4.75 acres. This field can be rented to farmers or livestock owners, creating yet another revenue source.

Water/Mineral Rights & Natural ResourcesWater for the property primarily is supplied by the St Charles Mesa Water District, but the property has 2 wells (1 domestic, 1 ag) that could be put back into use by a new owner with approval from the state department of water resources. The property comes with water rights (2 Bessemer Ditch shares), used for irrigation and ensuring good grass production.

General OperationsA new owner can continue to develop new revenue streams, transform the property into a small farm or equestrian property, or simply enjoy a tranquil, rural residential property.
