Quarter Circle A Farms — 455± acres just south of Monte Vista in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, combining established irrigated alfalfa production with one of the region’s premier waterfowl habitats. A working hay farm and a sportsman’s retreat in one. IRRIGATED HAY: Two center pivots (installed 2011), each sweeping roughly 270 degrees over ~90 acres. The north unit (“Circle 8”) is in alfalfa and can expand to ~120 acres with added pond/pump capacity. The south unit (“Circle 7”) runs 7 towers across 1,298 ft plus a 32-ft end gun. Powered by copper electrical lines; ~23 inches of water applied per season. The current owner purchased in 2013 and developed the program—~180 acres of alfalfa averaging 3 cuttings/year and roughly 990 tons annually (approx. 6 & 5 tons/acre). Ground under pivots is adjudicated. Turnkey operation. WATER: Exceptionally well equipped. Irrigation from the Commonwealth Ditch (2 shares) plus multiple ag wells, all routed to a central 7 acre-foot settling pond that pumps to both pivots. Main south well: 1,800 ft, ~1,846 GPM. Additional wells include a 1,000-ft well (~2,250 GPM), a 600+ GPM allocation, and an artesian well west of the north pivot (convertible to irrigation). Two pivots carry ~570 acre-feet of Sub-district 6 water (~$35/acre-ft). In average snowpack, ditch water supports a cutting; ~2.5 days of well water covers the hunting area. Buyer to verify allocations/adjudication with the State of Colorado. THE SWELLS — WATERFOWL: The southern ~125 acres is a flooded Ducks Unlimited project—raised swells sculpted with water channels between them, creating prime, purpose-built waterfowl habitat. Water flows from the central pond into these terraced areas for outstanding duck and goose hunting fall/winter and excellent bird habitat year round (ducks, geese, blue heron & more). Proven, heavily hunted and highly productive; one opening day reportedly produced ~400 birds. Owner has hosted 20–30 youth hunters annually. Doubles as quality cattle grazing pasture in spring/summer. A RARE COMBINATION: Established, water-secured alfalfa production with documented yields, redundant well and ditch infrastructure feeding a central reservoir, and a marquee waterfowl property with a hunting reputation that speaks for itself. Cash-flowing hay operation, recreational waterfowl retreat, or both.
