Peoples Company is honored to represent the sale of this productive irrigated farmland near Atwood, Colorado, that has been in the same family for nearly 100 years!

Predominant soil types include Satanta loam and Nunn clay loam, both carrying Class 2 capability rating. 

A functional farmstead located at 15333 County Road 16.5, Atwood, Colorado, adds another dimension to the property with the potential to generate supplemental rental income. Improvements include a 1,500-square-foot, 1½-story home with four bedrooms and one bathroom, offering potential as a rental residence, employee housing, or owner-occupied home. A 2,400 square-foot metal-framed shop with a concrete floor provides valuable space for equipment storage, maintenance, or other agricultural uses. 

Tract 2 is 1 share of Morgan-Prewitt Reservoir Company. This share represents a proportional ownership interest in storage rights of Prewitt Reservoir.
