Zoning: Agricultural Zoning District - Las Animas County. Flood Zone: According to FEMA FIRM Panel No. 08071C1400C, dated August 28, 2019, the subject property does not appear to be located in a flood hazard area.

Current Use: Agricultural land as flood/pivot irrigated farmland. Easements, Restrictions, and Encroachments: Typical utility easements are assumed to exist on the property. Additionally a natural gas pipeline right of way transects the property from the southwest to the northeast. Soils: Data from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey. The soils are listed in order of predominance on the subject property: Code Soil Description Capacity % of Subject Code WrB Wilid silty clay loam 1 to 3% slopes 23.20% 6c WyB Wilid silt loam 0 to 3% slopes 14.70% 4c MzA Manzanola silty clay loam 0 to 2% slopes 13.60% 4c Wilid Series- The Wilid series consists of very deep, well drained soils that formed in loess. Wilid soils are on plains and interfluves in MLRA 69. Slopes range from 0 to 12 percent. The mean annual precipitation is about 305 millimeters (12 inches). The mean annual temperature is about 11 degrees C (52 degrees F). These soils are rangeland or non-irrigated cropland. Native vegetation is mainly blue grama, galleta, sand dropseed, and western wheatgrass. It is correlated to the Loamy Ecological Site Description. Well drained; low or medium runoff; moderately high to high hydraulic conductivity. *Source: USDA-NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions - Irrigation Water: Oasis Farms, LLC contains a total of 5,965.9 shares of the Model Land & Irrigation Company, out of a total of 5,967.9 shares, equal to 99.97% of the company. The subject is the only farm which uses water from this system, and approximately 80% of the Model ditch is owned and operated by the subject property. Additionally, these water rights equate to approximately 1/3 of the water held in the Trinidad Reservoir Dam. The water rights were originally decreed at 6,177 acres in 1925, and were appropriated in 1908 for 200 cfs from the Purgatoire River. Over time, portions of the water rights have been vacated, leaving a current total of 4,947.84 acres of irrigation water rights. The water rights are administered through the Purgatoire River Water Conservation District. Furthermore, diversions from the Purgatoire River into the Model Ditch vary greatly on an annual basis due to the amount of mountain rains and snow melt in the mountains west of Trinidad in the Purgatoire River watershed. As such, the previously mentioned storage rights located at the Trinidad Reservoir Dam become extremely beneficial. Over the past 10 years, annual water diversions range from 236.4 acre feet to 20,464.6 acre feet, with an average of 5,092.67 acre feet. This average calculates to approximately 1.03 AF per acre for the 4,947.84 acres of water rights associated with the subject property. The property contains significant infrastructure which catches and recycles remaining irrigation water after flood application. This infrastructure includes a series of ditches, canals, storage reservoirs, and water pumps strategically located throughout the property, and provides the ability to catch unused flood irrigation water and transfer it to various portions of the property for additional irrigation use. This has somewhat of a multiplying effect on the annual water diversions applied to the property.

Lyons Land for Sale - Boulder County

Five miles north of downtown Lyons, where the Front Range meets the high plains, 44.39 acres carry a story most Boulder County land cannot tell. This is the heart of the original 300-acre Ohline Ranch, held and worked for generations, and offered now as a rare piece of Colorado with real optionality. A property that rewards imagination as much as it rewards capital. At the southern end, a private drive winds through Ponderosa pine before opening to a mountain meadow and the Ohline homestead: a thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence of 1,403 square feet with hardwood floors, original stonework, and indoor-outdoor living that feels both rooted and refined. A seasonal stream, a working apple orchard, a well house, and period outbuildings round out a setting that lives larger than its footprint. For a buyer seeking a private Colorado retreat within thirty minutes of Boulder and an hour of Estes Park, the homestead and its surrounding acreage stand entirely on their own. There is also a meaningful path to expand the residential value of this property. Pursuing historical landmark designation for the Ohline homestead could unlock two distinct opportunities: identifying and developing a second primary residential building site on the land, and reclassifying the existing homestead as an Accessory Dwelling Unit. For the right buyer, that pathway transforms a single-home parcel into a two-residence legacy compound without compromising the character that makes the homestead worth preserving in the first place. The remainder of the land is where this property becomes singular. Roughly 25 acres are permitted for sandstone extraction, with a 2005 mineral study identifying reserves in the millions of tons, an existing pallet inventory on site, and infrastructure capable of producing dimensional block, slab, and crushed stone. For an operator, a masonry or landscape-supply business, or a builder sourcing regional stone, this is a turnkey income asset attached to a residence. A live and work configuration almost impossible to replicate in today's Front Range land market. For buyers thinking beyond either extreme, 1312 Steamboat Valley rewards a wider lens: A legacy land holding. Occupy the homestead, pause extraction, and let rare Front Range acreage appreciate as inventory tightens. A creative or craft compound. Sculptors, stone artisans, and designer-builders rarely find a property where the raw medium is already under their feet. A private equestrian or family retreat. Meadow, water, forest, and seclusion, with the operational acreage held as buffer or future conservation. A phased-use strategy. Live in the homestead, lease or selectively operate the quarry, and evaluate a conservation easement on the balance over time. Few Boulder County properties let a buyer choose their own thesis. This one does. Location remains the quiet advantage. Lyons in minutes, Longmont in twenty, Boulder in thirty, Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park within an hour. Trail access, dark skies, and a canyon-edge setting that feels genuinely removed, without being remote. 1312 Steamboat Valley is not a listing that fits a category. It is a property that asks the right buyer what they want to build, whether a home, a business, a legacy, or all three, and gives them the land to do it. Recently improved to $1,195,000 from $1,550,000. Co-listed with Les Pfenning, LIV Sotheby's International Realty.

How do you Find the Right Mining Land for You?

When it comes to finding mining land for sale, there are a few things that you will want to keep in mind. First and foremost, you will want to make sure that the property is actually zoned for mining. This can be a bit of a tricky process, as not all counties and states have the same zoning regulations. However, it is something that you will want to look into before making any sort of purchase.

Another thing to keep in mind when looking for mining land for sale is the potential for finding water on the property. This is important, as most mining operations require a large amount of water to function properly. If you are not sure whether there is a water source on the property, you may want to contact a local well driller in order to get an estimate.

Finally, you will also want to make sure that the land is accessible. This means that you should check to see if there are any roads leading up to the property, and if so, whether they are maintained. This can be a critical factor, as you do not want to purchase land that is difficult to access during certain times of the year.

Keep these things in mind, and you should have no problem finding mining land for sale that is perfect for your needs.

What can you mine on mining land?

The answer to this question depends on the zoning of the land that you purchase. In general, however, most mining properties are zoned for hardrock mining. This means that you will be able to mine for metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron. There are also some properties that are zoned for coal mining, although these are less common.

Other types of mining land may be zoned for gravel or sand mining. These properties can be used to mine for construction materials such as gravel or sand. However, it is important to note that these types of mines are usually much smaller than hardrock mines. There are also many opportunities for mining of limestone, chalk, rock salt, potash, and clay. Even gem mining is something that you may be able to do on some mining land, however this type of mining generally requires a special permit.

Ultimately, the type of mining that you will be able to do on your land will depend on the zoning regulations in your area. Be sure to check with your local planning office in order to determine what types of mining are allowed on your property.

Can you get a return on mining land?

The potential return on investment for mining land can vary widely. In general, however, most mining properties appreciate in value over time. This is due to the fact that mines tend to get deeper as they are worked, and thus the land becomes more valuable.

Another factor that can impact the ROI of mining land is the price of metals. If the price of gold, for example, goes up then the value of land with a gold mine on it will increase. The same is true for other metals.

It is also important to keep in mind that mining land is a long-term investment. It can take years for a mine to reach its full potential, and thus you should not expect to see a return on your investment overnight.

With that said, however, there is potential for a very good return on investment if you purchase mining land and hold onto it for the long term.
