Beautiful 44.5 acres on the San Juan River with 1/3 mile river frontage. The property is about 15 miles south of Pagosa Springs on Trujillo Rd which becomes County Hwy. 500. The river splits and rejoins on the land creating an approximate 1.25 acre island with ¼ mile circumference. The river varies from about 60’ wide to about 120’ wide which creates different speeds of water flow. This property would be perfect as a ranch or farm complete with hunting and fishing. The property has water, electricity, phone and septic. There was an old 2 story house on the property that we demolished with an intention of building a cabin. An old mobile remains that we will be hauling to the local landfill. There is a large area of aspens and pines where the house was, and this area is close enough to view the river and high enough to not flood. There is a large propane tank on the property, near a 16’ x 24’ greenhouse. There is an old covered horse stall with a small corral. The property has its own well and has available river water irrigation rights. Our neighbor’s horses pasture on the lower area of the property that in past years was planted in Hay. There is a small dense area of natural river gravel that can be harvested. A Geological testing company did a test dig and estimated the quantity at 200,000 tons valued at ? per ton. The test dig hole filled with water from underground since it is near the river. By selling the gravel you would end up with a nice constant level pond. There are native brown trout and rainbows in the river. The land climbs quite a bit in elevation to the south and borders unused Ute property with no roads or structures. The elk, deer, fox and turkeys flourish on our land and you’ll see Beavers in the river. Owner may carry with acceptable terms while you build on this waterfront property.
