Situated between Kimberley and Cranbrook, this expansive 73.6-acre property offers a myriad of possibilities. Zoned as RR60, the land was originally utilized as a hay farm, benefitting from water rights from the St. Mary's Irrigation District. These water rights remain accessible, with the main pipe conveniently bordering the entire property line, providing ample opportunity for irrigation if desired. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, the land features approximately a dozen horse paddocks on the lower portion, along with a round pen and an aging hay shed. Dominating the landscape is a hip roof barn, currently undergoing conversion into a 1500 sq ft dwelling on its upper level. The structure boasts sturdy framing with 2x6 construction and most windows are already installed. Below, remnants of the barn's former use as box stalls remain intact. It is important to note that the land has not received any fertilizer for over 28 years, rendering it suitable for organic farming. Additionally, it's being sold "as is," making it an ideal opportunity for a collective purchase aimed at revitalizing agricultural endeavors. At the farm's entrance stands a Quonset measuring 24x24 feet, complete with a concrete floor, catering to the needs of any handyman. Adjacent to the Quonset is an insulated chicken coop, providing ample space for poultry husbandry. The property also hosts three ponds, replenished by snowmelt and showcasing their natural beauty until late summer when they gradually dry out. Adding to the property's charm is an old log barn, evoking a sense of rustic nostalgia. Essential infrastructure includes a pumphouse containing a shallow well with approximately 100 feet of depth. Additionally, a second well, reaching 286 feet, awaits a liner installation and pump activation. The upper portion of the farm, once a 40-acre hay field, now serves as additional pastureland, offering breathtaking panoramic views encompassing the surrounding landscape and even distant Cranbrook's night lights. Zoning regulations permitted the construction of two dwellings, allowing for further development or expansion. Upon sale, the two existing trailers on the property will be removed, clearing the way for new possibilities on this picturesque and versatile rural estate.
