About This Home

Experience the best of country living on this beautifully maintained 23.5-acre property just 8 minutes from downtown Cortez. Enjoy a year-round stream right in your backyard—perfect for fishing and play—plus abundant irrigation water for lush pastures. This inviting 3-bedroom, 3-bath home features a main-floor primary suite with a jetted tub, gleaming hardwood floors, and a spacious living room with a tongue-and-groove ceiling. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and a breakfast bar. Andersen windows, central air, and an open floor plan create a bright, comfortable atmosphere. A convenient mudroom connects the home to a large, heated attached two-car garage. Upstairs, you’ll find two generous bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile office or workout area. Ideal for animals, the property is fully fenced and cross-fenced with lush pastures, a pond, and multiple outbuildings—including a barn, hay/boat barn, three loafing sheds, and a tack shop. A detached 26x36 shop/garage has a concrete floor and is perfect for home projects and plenty of storage. Shade & fruit trees, kennel area, chicken coop, and a fenced backyard add to the alure. Take in breathtaking La Plata Mountain views and exceptional privacy from the covered porch. No HOA or covenants. Pre-inspected.Irrigation Water 2 CFS (cubic feet per second adjudicated) is a substantial irrigation water right. Here’s how it applies to irrigating 23 acres: 2 cfs delivers about 4 acre-feet per 24 hours. How much land can you irrigate? One acre-foot covers 1 acre with 12 inches of water.Most crops in Colorado require 1.5–3 acre-feet per acre per season, depending on crop type, soil, and climate. If you run 2 cfs continuously: In 30 days, you would deliver 4 acre-feet/day×30=120 acre-feet. Spread over 23 acres, that’s 120÷23 5.2 acre-feet per acre per month. 2 CFS is more than sufficient to irrigate 23 acres—in fact, it’s enough to provide several feet of water per acre per month, which exceeds the seasonal needs for most crops. Annual cost is just $25! Way more water that MVI Montezuma Valley Irrigation System. Also the pond can be pumped out of and having a year round stream is a huge asset for animals to drink.
