Large Ranch & Ranch Inspections in Colorado
Mountain log homes and horse ranches present unique challenges that differ significantly from typical municipal home inspections. If your property includes a private well and septic system, it’s essential to have these inspected in addition to a general home inspection. PineBreeze Inspections offers the convenience of conducting all necessary inspections in a single day, saving you both time and money by eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
If you’re considering purchasing a ranch in the Colorado Springs area, it’s crucial not to make a blind decision—investing in farmland is a significant commitment that requires thorough evaluation. At PineBreeze Inspections, we have extensive experience working with ranches and ranchers, providing detailed inspections that help you make informed decisions. We’ve conducted numerous ranch inspections throughout the region, and we know strictly what to look for to ensure you’re making a sound investment.
Barns & Other Ranch Structures
A ranch includes a number of outbuildings and amenities. Understanding the condition and functionality of each one is important when it comes time to negotiate. Most ranches come equipped with a variety of structures on the property. In addition to home inspections, we are also trained to inspect barns, stables, and workshops. If you plan to use the barn for purposes other than housing animals, we can evaluate the structure and make recommended changes to meet your new plans.
Barndominiums, for example, are becoming increasingly popular as property owners combine both living quarters and the barn in one building. If you are thinking of making these kinds of changes, we will help you think through the cost and work that will need to be completed to make the barn safe and habitable.
Barns, Stables, & Workshops
This is where the work happens, so make sure you understand each one's condition and whether it will function as you need it to.
Barndominiums
Barndominium is a relatively new term in the real estate world. It is a building that combines living space and a barn into one.
Well and Septic
Since a septic system is such an important component of a home, you want to know if it was maintained well and if it needs any repairs. You may decide to ask the seller to make repairs, ask for a price reduction, purchase as is, or move on to another property. Either way, being forewarned is forearmed.
Barn Inspections
As a rancher, you know how important it is to have a safe residence for your livestock. We thoroughly inspect the barn for the following hazards and issues:
- Kick damage from horses or livestock
- Manure piles deposited too close to the barn’s exterior
- Excessive dust
- Exposed nails, sharp edges, and splinters
- Non-GFCI-protected lights and electrical receptacles
- Outdated or overloaded electrical systems
- Exposed electrical wires
- Lack of ventilation or shade in livestock pens
- Insufficient room at the feed rack for animals to eat
- Ranch implements and machinery stored too near animals or in the path of people
- Fire hazards
