Over 1,200 acres of conservation land adjoin this property on several sides, ensuring total privacy. End of the road privacy, as you come through the gate into the gently rolling, sun drenched fields. Year round access is easy and level. Like "Gault's Gulch" (if you've read the book "Atlas Shrugged"). Quiet, secure and sustainable with three year round creeks, two ponds, mature fruit orchard, garden areas, barn, etc. Approx. 10 acres of open field and pasture ideal for livestock or planting. Great for solar gain. House is a well cared for ranch with screened porch with detached 2 car garage/workshop. There's even a 50 yard pistol range. Adjoining lands owned by Foothills Conservancy exceed 1,266 acres, giving you the room to roam. This is the ideal homestead, sustainable farm, bugout property, hunting camp, etc. NO drive bys. NONE. Listing agent must accompany per seller's instructions. New photos coming soon.
