LEASE ACRES: Caddoa Creek Ranch combines its deeded acres with both State and Private Lease lands, which are situated throughout the ranch. This aids in the protection of the lease holdings. The State Lease lands are currently leased at $8.29 per animal unit month (AUM), with 612 AUM allowed by the State lands. The Private Lease cost ranges from $1 to $3 per acre. The seller has purchased several acres of Private Lease land to add to the assessed acres as it has become available.
WATER: The main sources on the ranch are four submersible well pumps. The wells are connected to two separate pipeline systems, that serve 33 livestock tanks. The number of tanks served by each well is determined by well capacity and controlled
by valves. In addition to this pipeline system, there are several natural springs and several dirt ponds throughout and a few wind driven watering systems. A separate submersible water pump is dedicated to the house and improvements.
OPERATION: The ranch lends itself to either a cow/calf operation or a yearling, stocker operation, or a combination of both. The ranch is fenced into 20 pastures, which vary in size and are all well fenced and watered. The fences vary from 4 to 5 barbed wire with steel and cedar posts.
TERRAIN: The ranch has terrain that ranges from level to rocky breaks, with some rolling hills. The Caddoa creek runs north and south through the Ranch on the eastern side. This is where the larger draws and bottom meadow areas are located. The sod cover is good, with little marginal land.
WILDLIFE: Caddoa Creek Ranch is home to a sizeable population of quail, mule deer and antelope.
PRICE: Very seldom today does such a sizeable ranch property like this come available on the market at such an economically feasible price, $400 per deeded acre ($12,365,200). The large State Lease acreage will be assigned at closing. Currently the State Lease is approximately $5,100.00 per year or $2.50 per acre. The Seller will also assign the Private leases at closing which currently cost Sl,520/ycar or $2.72 an acre. The beauty of the Caddoa Creek Ranch is multiple; It is a good, solid working ranch, scenic yet productive; large enough to provide a nice return on investment; and the price makes the Caddoa Creek Ranch one of the few economical ranches on the market today. The Caddoa Creek Ranch, complete with creeks, level to rolling land and sandy clayloam soils with mixed grasses, draws, natural springs, and rock outcroppings, is what ranching in Southeast Colorado is all about.
TAXES: $10,262.57 for 2007
