Description
PRICE REDUCED! This 477.2± acre property is located in a productive farming region near Eads, Colorado, and offers a combination of Conservation Reserve Program income and long-term agricultural flexibility. With county road frontage on two sides totaling nearly 2 miles, access is convenient and functional for agricultural or recreational use.
Two quarters of the property are currently enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, commonly referred to as CRP, while the third quarter is not enrolled. The CRP acres, totalling 311.91, have recently been re-enrolled into a new contract paying $7,555 annually, with the agreement expiring in the fall of 2033.
The Conservation Reserve Program is administered by the Farm Service Agency and is designed to encourage landowners to remove environmentally sensitive land from active crop production and establish approved grass or vegetative cover. The primary goals of CRP include reducing soil erosion, improving water quality, enhancing wildlife habitat, and promoting long-term soil health. In exchange for maintaining the approved cover and meeting program requirements, landowners receive annual rental payments for the duration of the contract. This structure can provide predictable income while helping preserve the land’s productivity and ecological value.
At the conclusion of the current CRP contract in 2033, a future owner would have the option to re-enroll if eligible, or potentially return those acres to crop production, subject to program rules and local agricultural conditions. Soils on the property consist primarily of Class IV soils. While generally more suited to conservation practices or careful management, these soils can support dryland farming depending on rainfall patterns and management decisions. The presence of Class IV soils provides a buyer with long-term flexibility and the ability to evaluate future use based on market conditions and operational goals.
The surrounding area is known for consistent agricultural production. Crops commonly grown in the region include milo, wheat, sunflowers, and millet. Local infrastructure supports farming operations, with grain handling facilities and elevators located a short distance away in Eads. The property’s proximity to Eads provides access to fuel, supplies, and basic services that support day-to-day agricultural operations.
Eads is located just a short drive from the property and serves as the Kiowa County seat. Additional regional hubs include Lamar to the south and La Junta to the west, both offering expanded services, equipment dealerships, medical facilities, and larger retail options. This location allows a balance between rural seclusion and reasonable access to support services.
The parcel is located in Game Management Unit 126. As such, it qualifies for enrollment in the Colorado Big Game Landowner Preference Program for deer and antelope vouchers, subject to application and compliance with Colorado Parks and Wildlife regulations. The CRP cover and surrounding agricultural landscape create favorable habitat conditions for wildlife.
Wildlife commonly observed in the area includes mule deer, pronghorn antelope, pheasant, quail, dove, and other small game species typical of eastern Colorado. The combination of grass cover, nearby crop ground, and open terrain supports both upland bird populations and big game movement corridors. This makes the property suitable for recreational use in addition to its income-producing characteristics.
With nearly two miles of county road frontage, established CRP income on two quarters, one quarter currently not enrolled, and long-term flexibility for agricultural production, this 311.91-acre tract presents a balanced opportunity in a well-regarded farming region of southeastern Colorado.
