but now used for horses. Senior irrigation water rights go with the property that can irrigate
approximately 40 acres of pasture and 8 acres on the south side of the river. The water can be
used as irrigated grazing pasture, gardening or hay production. The San Juan river runs through
the property for about a 1/4 mile and provides private river frontage and access on both sides
with excellent fly-fishing opportunities. The upper portion of this property is nicely wooded and
the valley has the Arroyo Escondido with seasonal water that attracts many species of resident
wildlife, including mule deer, elk, wild turkey, mountain lion and black bear.
The Timber-framed ranch house is nicely constructed and functional and it includes a basement
for lots of storage. Constructed in 2004, the home`s exterior is stucco with timber highlights and a
rustic metal corrugated roof. A 12 foot deep covered wrap around porch extends from the
mudroom entrance around the corner to the patio door and along the south side of the home.
Stout, hand-peeled log columns hold up the porch roof and are present as a visible, decorative
construction feature inside the house. The open loft of the upper level gives a beautiful view over
the south part of the property with the pasture, river and Carson National Forest. There are two
full baths, one on the main level and the other upstairs in the loft master bedroom (a additional 3/4
bath is located in the tack room). The entry through the terracotta tiled mudroom contains the
washer & dryer and allows for boots, hats and coats to be stored. Oak wood floors with in-floor
heat cover the floors of the main level. The kitchen has hickory cabinets, refrigerator and an
electric oven/range, but the functional and charming wood burning stove/oven adds additional
cooking capabilities with plenty of heat in the winter months. The kitchen also features an eat-in
dining area and is open to the living room. The ranch house is constructed with timber-framed
construction and nary a nail can be found in any of the wood finishes. In-floor heat and hot water
is supplied by a high efficiency Munchkin water heater. The water comes from a excellent
domestic water-well that has great pressure. Propane is stored in a buried 500 gallon tank behind
the house. Considering the abundance of amenities that this property has, it would not be difficult
to attract visitors. Navajo Lake State Park is 5 miles away. It has 43 miles of lake for your water
