About This Home

Set in the rolling landscapes of Southwest Colorado, this exceptional ranch property offers the rare combination of usable land, WATER rights, equestrian lifestyle, privacy, and authentic Western living just outside of Cortez. Thoughtfully positioned to capture expansive views and peaceful surroundings, the property delivers the kind of setting buyers searching for Colorado ranch living are truly looking for. Designed for both lifestyle and functionality, the ranch is ideal for horse enthusiasts, recreational use, or those simply seeking room to breathe and live differently. Open pastures, natural terrain, and established ranch infrastructure create an environment that supports everything from riding and training to quiet evenings taking in the surrounding landscape and endless Colorado skies. The single level residence blends comfortably into the land with a warm and inviting feel that complements the ranch lifestyle. Great for full time living, living while you build a larger home, or use as a future guest home. Large windows frame the surrounding scenery while outdoor living spaces create a seamless connection between the home and the property itself. Whether gathering after a long ride, hosting guests, or enjoying the quiet solitude that defines this region, the ranch offers a sense of place that is increasingly difficult to find. The equestrian component of the property is a standout feature, offering the space, usability, and setup needed for both recreational and performance horse programs. With room for equipment, livestock, riding, and expansion potential, this is a property that functions as beautifully as it lives. Located within close proximity to Cortez, Dolores, Telluride, and the greater Southwest Colorado recreation corridor, the ranch provides access to world-class riding, hiking, skiing, fishing, and public lands while still maintaining the privacy and freedom that define true ranch ownership. Whether you are seeking a full-time ranch residence, equestrian retreat, or legacy Colorado property, this offering represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of the Southwest lifestyle.You can't even see this property from the county road until you are 300 yards up the driveway but is right off of paved roads.
