Home For Sale

, C: , mark, : Welcome to the *Diamond Quarter Circle Ranch* located in the beautiful San Luis Valley in Manassa CO. This well cared for 433 +/- acre 3rd generation ranch is now for sale for the first time. Every so often an opportunity comes your way and this ranch is one of those rare opportunities. The ranch is a working ranch running around 50 pairs of cattle plus your horses with plenty of food and +/- 1 mile of the San Antonio river flowing right through the ranch. The river has allowed huge groves of big tall cottonwood trees with all their spectacular colors in the fall and fantastic shade for your livestock. The San Antonio is a tributary of the Conejos River offering spectacular fishing for rainbow and brown trout right on the ranch. The ranch is a recreational paradise offering both mule deer and elk hunting. Also the river provides waterfowl hunting. The ranch does qualify for landowner tags (always check regs). The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife has historically issued the San Luis Valley landowners big game (deer elk) tags on a very liberal, almost unlimited basis. Along with income from cattle, the ranch will produce 1200 +/- tons of some of the most beautiful hay in the state (an alfalfa grass mix). There are incredible water rights for the entire ranch and also the mineral rights are being conveyed with the sale. The large ranch style house boasts 4668 sq. ft. under the roof with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, updated kitchen, a formal dining room for the whole family to enjoy, plus 2 living rooms. There is a large 3 car garage all with their own doors for all your toys and vehicles...Ample room to park literally whatever you want. Lastly the ranch has a conservation easement created by Colorado Open Lands that was placed on the ranch for primarily protecting all the incredible water rights while secondarily protecting this historic legacy and tremendous riverfront wildlife habitat for generations to come and for extremely low taxes for a ranch as big as Diamond Quarter Circle. The easement was carefully thought through, leaving the irrigation well not part of the easement so there is no setting limits on the water and irrigating 375+/ acres. So if you're looking for that generational ranch that has horseback riding, mule deer, elk, and waterfowl hunting, with fantastic fishing, and income producing right out your front door this is that opportunity to do so.
