About this House
This premium 271+/- -acre irrigated hay and livestock operation, offered for the first time in nearly 30 years, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a productive, well-watered property in the highly regarded Swink School District. The farm is comprised of two large tracts, each featuring pivot irrigation, collection ponds, senior water rights, and dependable infrastructure. The North Farm includes 119+/- irrigated acres under a 2014 Zimmatic pivot and a 15-acre-foot collection pond. Water rights consist of 109 shares each of Catlin Canal and Larkspur Ditch. A conservation easement covers 64 acres and 64 Catlin shares, while 66 acres and 45 shares remain unrestricted. Two headgates—one gravity-fed and one pump-fed with a 12'' Fischer lift pump—deliver water directly from Catlin Canal, eliminating lateral ditches. A domestic water tap supports winter cattle grazing. This farm has consistently produced premium alfalfa and grass hay, with yields averaging 5 tons/acre (grass) and four alfalfa cuttings annually. The South Farm features 141+/- irrigated acres under a 2018 Zimmatic pivot and a 10-acre-foot pond. It includes 120 Otero Canal shares and receives transferable Catlin water via a 12" underground pipeline. Concrete ditch and riser systems irrigate pivot corners. Re-seeded to alfalfa in 2024, this field averages 3 tons/acre historically. Both farms have a corn and wheat base and offer easy access from paved County Roads 24 and Z. Water assets include top-tier Catlin Canal shares (5 AF/share, 2.4 CU AF/share) with winter storage, Fry-Ark allocations, and augmentation/lease programs; Otero Canal shares (2.5 AF/share, 0.875 CU AF/share) with Fry-Ark access; and Larkspur Ditch transmountain water with no return flow obligations. With reliable water, strong yields, and long-term viability, this is an ideal setup for ag operators or investors seeking proven production and lasting value.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI relocated my child to this district from another in the area. I'm very happy with the caring, attentive staff at the school. The creative ways the district has managed the severe budget cuts, and the truly supportive environment that is this school. The teachers are outstanding, and everyone, from the office staff to the janitorial staff take interest in the lives of the children. I can't recommend this school more highly for anyone that wants an engaged learning environment.Parent Review15y ago - Swink Junior-Senior High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have to children that attended Swink since kindergarten. My oldest graduated in 2015 and graduated from CSU Ft. Collins in 2019. My youngest graduated from Swing this coming Spring 2022. The teachers throughout their years have been very good to excellent. A lot of parents are very much involved with the school and the activities which is important to any student! It’s a great school with teachers that go above and beyond to accommodate the learning of their students!Parent Review4y ago
