“Quality” is the word commonly used when referring the alfalfa and native alfalfa seed produced on the Gardner farm. This Colorado farm is located on the banks of the Purgatoire River in southeastern Colorado, the 886-acre Gardner Farm has been in the same family for over six decades, and the pride of ownership is evident.
Located just outside the farming community of Las Animas, the historic Gardner Farm is locally known for quality alfalfa and record book whitetail deer.
The farm water rights are substantial and unique for the area. They include 305 shares of Consolidated Extension water and two irrigation wells, consistently irrigating most of this Colorado farm.
Improvements on the Gardner Farm are modest but meticulously maintained. They included a brick main house, original farm home, tenant house, two machine shops, hay shed, and numerous outbuildings.
Hunting opportunities on the ranch are impressive. Trophy whitetail deer are prevalent, as well as, mule deer, turkey, and even elk. Waterfowl enthusiasts will need no introduction to the area, as nearby John Martin Reservoir, and the Arkansas and Purgatoire Rivers, are all well-known duck and goose hunting hot spots.
As a hay base for a larger cattle operation, an investment in Colorado water rights, or a trophy hunting property, Gardner Farm checks many of the boxes. Contact Harrigan Land Company to learn more about Colorado farms and ranches for sale.
