Property Description

Affordable horse property, hobby farm, and country living opportunity just minutes from downtown Bayfield. Finding any home under $200 per Sq Ft is nearly impossible in the area, yet this property also includes 9 acres and irrigation water! Don't miss it! Situated on more than 9 acres with no HOA and no covenants, this property offers the freedom, space, water, and infrastructure that are becoming increasingly difficult to find this close to town. The 4 bedroom, two story ranch home has been updated in many aspects, while still offering an opportunity for the next owner to add their own finishing touches and make it their own. There is potential for a new master suite per the floor plan, as plumbing is already in the current bedroom. Located on a well maintained county road just 3 miles from downtown Bayfield, the property includes senior water rights through the King Ditch and approximately 9 acres of fenced pasture for horses, livestock, or other animals. At approximately 6,800 feet in elevation, the property enjoys good southern exposure and a gentle southern slope that works well for irrigation. The outbuildings add tremendous versatility and include a detached 3 car garage, chicken coop, and approximately 1,200 square foot barn with overhead doors on both sides for convenient pull through access. A separately fenced paddock is located directly behind the barn, separating the barn from the main pasture. The pasture is completely fenced for livestock and there is plenty of level ground surrounding the outbuildings for trailers, equipment, RVs, or additional parking. A gravel circle driveway with two separate entrances from the county road makes maneuvering trucks and horse trailers easy. Several fenced garden areas provide space to grow your own produce, and established fruit trees include apricot, plum, nectarine, and apple. For horse enthusiasts, the location is hard to beat. The Bayfield riding arena is only about 5 minutes away, while access to the San Juan National Forest is approximately 15 minutes away, opening up miles of opportunities for horseback riding and outdoor recreation. Whether you are looking for a horse property, hobby farm, room for livestock, or simply more space and freedom close to town, this property offers an uncommon combination of acreage, water rights, usable land, outbuildings, accessibility, and location. With many improvements already completed and plenty of potential remaining, 8684 CR 510 is ready for its next owner to make it their own.
