LOCATION
The acreage is located just east of Eaton, just north of a paved county road. The small town of Galeton is about a mile east of the property, with farmland between. The entire area is mostly farming, with many multi- generation families, which embodies a strong rural community. Schools in the area are highly rated. Yet, you will be just minutes from Fort Collins, Windsor and Greeley and they offer all amenities.
ACREAGE AND DESCRIPTION
The acreage consists of two contiguous parcels. The south parcel consists of 5.03 acres. The home sits on this parcel, along with a storage/garden shed. Approximately three acres of this parcel is fenced and safe for pets and livestock. It is fully landscaped and irrigated containing many mature trees and shrubs (80+). A nice lawn area surrounds the home.
The north parcel consists of 6.78 acres. The outbuilding/shop sits on this acreage. It has its own driveway access. The bulk of this acreage and the balance of approximately 2 acres of the south parcel is all in native grass and has a gentle slope to the southeast. Both parcels were surveyed in 2021 and survey is available to buyer. Historically, the current owner gets one cutting of grass hay per year.
WILDLIFE AND RECREATION
Many species of birds frequent the property. There are deer that meander through from time to time. Due to the gently sloping back acreage, this would be an idea setup for a horse barn, paddocks and pasture areas. The soils in this area are mostly loam to sandy loam. The current owner has a safety fenced area for goats and chickens, and whatever you desire.
WATER AND RESOURCES
There is one well on the property (Permit #79256). Originally installed in 1977, the well was inspected and tested in 2021. The well pumps over 15 gallons per minute. It was drilled to 320 feet and has a static level of 122’ plus. Allowed uses on file with the state are household, lawn/garden up to 1 acre and livestock use. Although there are irrigation ditches (mostly underground) on the west edge of the property along the County Road, there are no water or ditch rights that convey with the property.
