Property Description
Nearly 152 acres of agricultural land strategically positioned in the path of future growth, located just a 1/2 mile from the Hudson city limits and a 1/2 mile south of Highway 52. Situated within Hudson’s designated future growth area for residential development, this property offers a compelling investment opportunity in a rapidly expanding community. The land is currently irrigated by a center pivot and leased by a tenant farmer.
Land
This offering consists of two parcels totaling 151.74 ± acres of gently north-sloping land, including a primary 145.34 ± acre parcel and a 6.4 ± acre parcel located in the southeast corner. Strategically positioned for long-term growth, the property sits just 2½ miles from the Hudson Motorsports Project (home of the new Bandimere Speedway) and 1½ miles from the BNSF Railway expansion in Lochbuie—placing it at the center of major economic drivers reshaping northern Colorado.
Approximately 135 acres are currently irrigated and in agricultural production under a tenant lease generating annual income. This provides immediate cash flow for a new owner while pursuing development entitlements or simply holding the land for appreciation. Roughly 5 ± acres in the northwest corner are subject to a surface use agreement for existing oil and gas infrastructure.
Investment Highlights
Hudson is positioned in one of Colorado’s fastest-growing counties and sits at the center of several significant economic drivers. Key developments include the planned relocation of Bandimere Speedway (an approximately 1,100-acre motorsports and entertainment complex) and ongoing expansion of BNSF Railway logistics and intermodal facilities (approximately 2,700 acres) in the immediate vicinity. These projects are expected to generate substantial job growth, increased traffic, and demand for supporting commercial, industrial, and residential development.
With strong transportation access, proximity to a major international airport, and multiple large-scale projects underway, Hudson presents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking land or commercial assets with long-term appreciation potential in a rapidly evolving northern Colorado growth corridor.
Agriculture
The 145 acres of productive farm land consists of 25 ± acres that is flood irrigated and 120 ± acres that is irrigated by a six tower center pivot sprinkler with an end gun. The two high capacity wells are augmented by a contract with Central Colorado Water Conservancy District (GMS).
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
The water portfolio for the property consists of 150.52 bonded acres under the Henrylyn Irrigation District providing surface water from Barr Lake and two high-capacity irrigation wells (Permit Nos. 7117-R and 7118-R). These wells are operated under a CCWCD Well Augmentation Subdistrict (GMS) Class D Contract, which conveys up to 180.64 acre-feet of annual pumping rights (subject to the district’s annual quota). The Henrylyn water and the GMS augmentation contract will transfer with the sale of the property.
No mineral rights are available for purchase with this property.
