Just outside of the Bayfield city limits in Sauls Creek. Easy access to country living, and this property corners 11,000+ acres of San Juan National Forest. No HOA or covenants. Wildlife corridor for elk, deer, and turkeys. Fenced and cross-fenced. Large barn/hay shed already in place. Owner has grazed cattle and cut hay in lower pasture area, but is letting native grasses grow at the present time. In a good moisture year, the pasture has produced 175 bales. Would consider subdividing, and possible owner carry for the right buyer.
