This little farm has a little over 2 acres in the Sun Country subdivision in rural Elizabeth, CO. We use well water, local electric (but house can be fitted for solar) and trash pickup is once a week. You can have a mixture of farm animals here (all around are horses, goats, chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, alpaca, donkeys, pigs and cows). House sits on top of a ridge, which gives beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains and a lot of the neighborhood. Small corner store with a pizza place. Fire station near the mailroom. Once or twice a year, the HOA has a "dump day" ... they hire lots of trash trucks which are placed at the fire station, and as long as your HOA dues are paid, you can take your trash (discarded building materials, junk, etc) to be disposed of.
Hope to put the house on the market by the end of November 2017.
Outside: Here’s what we’re leaving up:
- the backyard goat pen with house, shade and gigantic
lounging rocks
- the backyard fenced-in garden with frames and paths
(desperately needs weeding)
- one of the chicken coops (used by our bantams) which is
right next to a shaded picnic area
- front yard fenced in area with one living peach tree
- outside of fenced front yard are planting boxes that still have some live currant bushes
- north yard fenced in area with one (maybe 2 or 3) still-living
fruit trees and a fully-packed woodshed (for fireplace)
- south yard fenced in area, with maybe one living peach
tree
IF hubby doesn't finish taking down the other two sectioned areas and 3-4 chicken coops, then those will be left behind too. We kept the girl and boy goats separated when not breeding, and we kept the different flocks of chickens and turkeys separated. You could do the same.

We still have a LOT of packing and tossing to do, and some
repairs and painting. However, since I’m
the only one doing anything, I might just have to abandon it all and take a
loss on the property.
