For the horses there is a 20x10 horse barn that has two 10'x10' stalls and is attached to a 40' round training pen. There are 2 fenced pastures one of which is 7.6 acres for grazing with an irrigation pond and pump house and one that is 6.5 acres in the trees for winter protection. The pastures are fenced with a high tension, smooth wire. The current owner has not been planting or irrigating the pasture so the only grass on it now is native grass. There is irrigation running along the front of the property that could, with extra sprinklers be used for irrigating the pasture for grazing. The irrigation water typically runs May thru October and fills the pond. There is a low producing well (75 gallons per day that is not currently active) so they have installed an 1800 gallon cistern. A proposed central water system-Animas La Plata Water District (laplawd.org) is in the works and the plan is to have central water available in this area in about 2 years. These owners have run a 1" copper stub from the home to the driveway to be hooked up to the central water when it becomes available. This enchanting home is perfect for someone with horses, llamas or 4H projects.
