About this home
Idyllic mini-ranch with million-dollar views in every direction! Wake up to inspiring sunrises, unwind with glowing sunsets, and stay up late to enjoy the dazzling night skies of Cortez, Colorado. With 5 shares of MVI irrigation water you can fill your pond, keep the pasture lush, and grow a thriving garden. The irrigated pasture has been carefully maintained and is seeded with horse-safe orchard mix. The current owners typically harvest around 130-140 bales of quality hay per cutting. Fully fenced and cross-fenced, it’s ready for your animals from day one. 2 siderolls are included with the sale. Animal lovers will appreciate the deluxe chicken coop with spacious run and a barn that’s both practical and flexible. The barn includes an enclosed tack room, tool room, equipment and hay storage, plus two 220 outlets for serious projects or hobbies. It’s currently set up with insulated chick brooder and a separate space ideal for goats, sheep, or whatever critters you’d like to bring. Plenty of room for your horses too! The landscaping is a mix of beauty and function: mature fruit trees, cocktail grapes, healthy aspens, southern pines, cottonwoods, ponderosas, and a stately blue spruce on the west side of the house that offers shade, wind protection, and a perfect backdrop for outdoor living. The west-side deck, brand new in 2022, is an inviting spot to relax and entertain. On the east side, a cozy sunroom outfitted with a woodstove becomes your year-round retreat—curl up with a book and soak in sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains, Menefee and Point Lookout, Mesa Verde, and Sleeping Ute. The light and panorama here are genuinely inspiring. The home itself is exceptionally well built, featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two separate living spaces-perfect for hosting guests, creating a home office, or simply spreading out. A brand new septic system was installed in 2024. All of this rural charm comes with convenient access: it’s just a short drive to shopping, restaurants, and the hospital in Cortez. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to hunting, hiking, horseback riding, skiing, watersports, rock climbing, and archeological exploration. Come see this special property and imagine the life you can create here!...
