As you drive past this impressive operation, set on the 7.4 acre Farm Headquarters, you travel towards the heart of the farm which is the remaining 170+/- acres of Colorado Mountain meadows and fields. The farm was first operated as Rivendell sod farm that operated since the late 90's. The success of the sod farm comes from the layout of the land and the abundant water sources that pour onto the property year-round. There are 4 sources of water on the property that have helped produce over $1,000,000.00 in revenue a year in sod without ever running dry! Due to interest in preserving the soil, the owner diversified from sod to hay, laying the foundations to produce up to 750 tons of high-quality hay annually. Later in the life of the farm, it was used as a ranch, focusing on a finishing capacity of up to 100 head of cattle, fed with quality grass and clean water. Although the operations have quieted on the farm, the potential has not. The value of the land has remained strong, and the water continues to flow year after year from the senior water rights that run with the property. The 174+/- acres is part of the Aspen Valley Land Trust Easement which ensures no large scale development is possible and secures the natural beauty of the land and valley of its agricultural potential won't be lost. Exceptional Water Rights The farm's life blood is fed by some of the oldest adjudicated water rights in the region, with priority dates reaching back to 1889. This farm has senior water rights on the ditch with one other share being less than a 1/10. The primary water flows from an underground aquifer and is filtered through basalt rock as it runs year round through the property at an average of 50 degree Fahrenheit. The flow is constant, adjudicated, perfected and senior. A year-round natural spring feeds four ponds and secures more than three CFS of water, ensuring sufficient resources for irrigation, habitat, and future improvements. This second spring also feeds the main house which was used to staff employees. The home is currently in need of repair and would be best recycled and rebuilt. 2 other wells exist on the property to supply the commercial distribution operation and to fill holding ponds. These rights create a fire-resilient, drought-proof landscape - a rarity among Colorado properties.
