BYERS, Colo., Aug. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- United Country Lippard Auctioneers, Inc., (www.sunnyvalleylandauction.com) announces the public auction of a 5,260 acre total ranch operation in Byers Co., on September 8, 2011, according to Troy Lippard, auctioneer.

"This is an excellent investment opportunity," commented Lippard. "This property is offered in 10 parcels and as a whole. The tracts range in size from 70.74 acres to 960 acres."

The Sunny Valley Angus Ranch is a diversified farming and ranching operation encompassing over 5,260 acres with capabilities that allow for a wide variety of other uses such as excellent recreational wildlife hunting for mule deer, pronghorn antelope, whitetail deer and turkey.

The ranch could be operated as a commercial scale operation for a variety of livestock. The ranch provides a mixture of pivot-irrigated meadows, open pasture and native grass, dry land farm ground, gently rolling hills and the West Bijou Creek which flows intermittently through the property.

Parcel nine is improved with the main ranch house, a 5,100 sq. ft. home with six bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a five-car garage. There is also an old-style wood and metal barn on the property. "This would make an excellent horse property or country estate," said Lippard.
