16619 Grange Road Paonia, CO 81428

This 28.95-acre agricultural property was previously an organic hemp farm, organic hops farm, and organic apple orchard dating back to the late 1800s. Improvements include a 4,800-square-foot insulated and heated warehouse that was used as a packing shed for hemp and hops manufacturing, with two scissor lifts and ceiling-height racks for storage, growing, and drying. The property also includes a 2,000-square-foot shop and a commercially designed irrigation pump house with filtration and a nutrient delivery system.

The irrigation water includes 35 priority shares of the Stuart ditch. There are nine greenhouses on site, including four Gothic-style greenhouses with 4,000-square-foot frames and five additional greenhouses with 2,400-square-foot frames; all are noted as needing new covering. The property is described as having no covenants or deed restrictions and also includes a 1/3 interest in a three-household well.

For buyers seeking a self-contained production setup, the combination of heated storage and utility-supported irrigation and greenhouse infrastructure can support agricultural operations and related processing. The well interest and unrestricted ownership are also relevant for those evaluating options for building on the property. The site is located up the river from painted vineyards and Black Bridge Winery, within the Paonia/Hotchkiss wine-growing area associated with the West Elks Winery Association.
