68.74-acre historic Colorado ranch

PRICE REDUCED. CL Bar Ranch is a meticulously maintained 68.74-acre historic Colorado ranch located in the fertile Arkansas River Valley just outside Avondale. Surrounded by panoramic views of Pikes Peak, the Spanish Peaks, Greenhorn Mountain, and the Sangre de Cristo Range, this unique property offers a combination of productive agricultural ground, quality improvements, abundant water, and the character of a historic ranch that has been thoughtfully cared for over the years. The farmhouse has been updated while preserving its historic charm, featuring antique wood mining beams, hardwood flooring, granite kitchen countertops, updated bathrooms, a finished basement, and central air. A detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house provides comfortable accommodations for guests, ranch help, or extended family. The property also includes a detached two-car garage. Designed for both work and recreation, the ranch features three substantial Mennonite-built post-and-beam barns, a large workshop with concrete floors, custom tack room, wood-burning fireplace, workbench, running water, loafing shed, and multiple horse turnouts. A large outdoor riding arena, livestock fencing, welded pipe corrals, and productive native grass pastures make the property well suited for horses, cattle, or other agricultural uses. Water is one of the ranch's greatest assets with two domestic wells, a seasonal natural spring, multiple hydrants, an above-ground stock tank, and an additional agricultural well that may be reactivated. The sub-irrigated pasture supports grazing while providing excellent potential for farming, hay production, or expanding livestock operations. The mature landscaping, established gardens, partial wraparound porch, barbecue lawn with in-ground fire pit, private gravel drive, and gated entrance create a welcoming setting that is equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or working ranch. Wildlife is abundant with deer, elk, pronghorn, wild turkey, dove, geese, and other waterfowl regularly found throughout the area, offering outstanding wildlife viewing and hunting opportunities. Conveniently located just minutes from Pueblo Regional Airport, approximately 15 minutes from Pueblo, about an hour from Colorado Springs, and within easy reach of Denver and Colorado's mountain recreation, the ranch combines rural privacy with convenient access to modern amenities. An adjoining 43.22-acre parcel is available for purchase separately for buyers seeking additional acreage. All showings are by appointment only. Please do not enter or walk the property without a licensed real estate agent.
