The Cross Five Ranch offers a unique combination of irrigated acreage, sub-irrigated pasture and river bottom land along the scenic Arkansas River. Rarely do you find a ranch of this size with both agricultural income opportunity and premier hunting habitat. Several year round creeks bisect the property offering water for livestock and habitat for wildlife and the property is fenced and cross fenced. The ranch is situated on State Road 194 and is only 10 minutes to Las Animas, Colorado and 20 minutes to La Junta, Colorado which has an airport capable of supporting private jets. The Cross Five Ranch also has a historical place in Colorado history. The Santa Fe Trail ran through the property on its way to Old Bent's Fort and was a significant trade route for native americans and settlers in the 1800's. The ranch headquarters consists of two residential buildings, garage, office, workshop and outbuildings. The ranch style homes were built in 1908 and 1996 and additions and upgrades have been made. They are both approximately 1,300 square feet. Upgrades could be made to accommodate the buyer's needs for ranch and residential use, hunting groups, or an on-site caretaker. The ranch also includes a 40 x 80 barn for equipment and hay storage and various sheds and grain bins. The ranch boasts approximately two miles of Arkansas River frontage and bottom lands with abundant hunting opportunities for trophy white tail deer. The ranch is located in the Plains Hunting Unit GMU 125 and is eligible for landowner preference permits. The ranch is also home to a diverse upland bird and waterfowl population including pheasant, dove, turkey, duck and goose. A road network throughout the ranch lends itself to the further enhancement of wildlife by planting food plots, or construction of tree stands and duck blinds along the River. Dawn Pond State Wildlife Area encompasses the northern tip of this property with a 25 acre pond offering fishing and waterfowl hunting opportunities.
