The seller does take water out of the Florida River via a pump and uses it to irrigate whatever he feels like frankly. Remember that this is the last one half mile of the Florida River before it empties into the Animas River. Water Resources says you can file for a water right you would not be denied because there aren't really any downstream objectors on the Florida River. We're told the application fee is about $150. Please verify for yourselves how easy this would be for your buyer. House has a central water system, whole house R.O. shared system. You will enjoy nice views of the river from your back porch. Seller added a stamped concrete patio that he valued at $9000. Utilities: in the past 12 months, Mesa propane reported that approximately 265 gallons of propane were used at an average price of $2.25 per gallon. Seller indicates that he uses anywhere between 1 1/2 to 3 cords of wood per winter depending on how cold it is. The high low and average for La Plata electric was as follows: $105; $45; $65. The shared cost of the water well between electricity and the products used is about $30-$40 per month.
