To learn more about the Emerald Sod Farms visit: http://www.haydenoutdoors.com/properties/emerald-sod-farm-seth-hayden-15000000.php Emerald Sod and Alfalfa Farm is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Rarely does a property come up for sale that is a 4 tool property: +- Farm Income at +-5-6 percent, Massive water rights (surface water through Central Irrigation District and Deep Water Rights), 80 acres of mineral rights and incredible development potential. The water rights consist of 750 acre feet of Central Water Conservancy along and there is another 300 acre feet of Central on a long term lease. There are 623 acre feet of deep water rights that are ready to go for commercial use and or fracking water. To go along with the annual 623 acre feet of non-tributary and not non-tributary water there is +-6,320 acre feet of banked non-tributary and not non-tributary water for a 1 time use. The owner has just expanded the original 340 irrigated acres to 710 acres by adding a 50 acre feet water storage facility and 3 new pivots. There are currently 3 commercial wells with two more to be added this fall. The ag production of sod and alfalfa make this property produce around a 6% return on investment. As oil production heats up in the area the possibility of selling fracking water is getting better by the day as water companies are making inquiries. As the farm pays for itself with agricultural income, one can wait on the water possibilities and then finally the inevitable development potential of the property. Currently Zoned Agricultural, A3. Adams County Comp Plan currently allows for A-1 zoning for 2 ½ acre lots, without a TDR transfer requirement (water well and septic), or one acre lots with either or both public water or sewer with PUD and RE zoning. All land is outside of DIA noise contours! This beautiful property is highlighted by 200 acres of creek bottom and is just 5 miles NE of DIA. There is significant development around the property and the question if when not if will be the right time to develop this exciting property. To add to the development allure is the fact that the property has enough water to supply both the potable and non-potable water district for the development! My father Leo and I have listed and sold a lot of great opportunities in our career, but this is the best overall property we have ever seen! Trust us that when you come and look you will not be disappointed. Listed Agent: Seth Hayden (970) 674-199
