Description
Baca County, Colorado Farmland Auction – Mark your calendar for June 13th, 2024! Peoples Company and The Lund Company are pleased to be representing the sale of 1,357.5 acres m/l near Walsh, Colorado. The farm contains a total of 1,112.56 FSA cropland acres carrying an NCCPI of 29.2. Primary soil types include Wiley loam and Fort Collins loam. Of the cropland acres, approximately 610 acres are irrigated through five center pivots. Historic plantings have been corn, winter wheat, and sorghum. The farm is located in Sections 23, 24, 26, 27, and 35 of Walsh Township and is currently leased for the 2024 crop year.
Horse Creek runs laterally through the farm and offers 227.03 acres of recreational opportunity. Pronghorn, coyotes, and upland game are known to traverse the area and provide great hunting opportunities right on the farm. There is a dilapidated house and Quonset hut located in the southeast corner of the property with a well and electricity. With utilities at the site, this would make a great location to build a hunting cabin for recreational activities throughout the year.

Update as of May 28th: Renewable energy projects have boomed recently in southeastern Colorado and offer several monetary benefits to landowners. Wind and solar projects in Baca County are gaining traction and supplementing investment opportunities in the area. This farm has been identified as a property of interest for two renewable energy projects. Orion Renewable Energy is interested in an exploratory wind lease with the potential for turbines to be constructed. Before the construction of turbines, the lease pays $3.00/acre with an escalator as the project progresses. If/when turbines are constructed the owner will receive royalty payments and $24,000/turbine/year.
Scout Clean Energy has identified the farm for a transmission line easement lease. This pays $3.00/linear foot annually and $6.50/linear foot when the transmission route is finalized.
