Well-Maintained Adobe-Style Home with Updates, Orchard Trees & RV Pad in Cortez This spacious 1,886 sq ft adobe-style home sits on a 0.33-acre lot just minutes from downtown Cortez and walking distance to the golf course. Originally built in 1960, the home has been thoughtfully updated with a brand-new roof, new stucco exterior, new driveway, sewer line, updated electrical box, and fresh paint throughout. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including two en-suite bedrooms, all served by hot water baseboard heat powered by a natural gas boiler. The living room features a natural gas fireplace, and an evaporative cooler keeps the home fresh and comfortable during summer months. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a wall oven, range top, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Some windows and flooring have been updated, blending classic charm with modern improvements. A standout feature is the full finished basement—clean, accessible, and perfect for storage, a workshop, or future finishing as a creative or living space. Outside, enjoy a lush, irrigated lawn with one share of MVI water, plus four apple trees and a pear tree—a nod to the property’s orchard roots. Additional amenities include a powered workshop, two-car carport, and a dedicated RV pad with electric hookups. The fully fenced backyard, landscaped front, and lawn sprinkler system round out the outdoor perks. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood with paved city access, this property backs to open space and offers easy access to downtown Cortez (4 min), Dolores (10 min), and Telluride (1 hr 15 min). Served by Kemper Elementary, Cortez Middle, and Montezuma-Cortez High School, and connected to city water, sewer, Empire Electric, Atmos natural gas, and high-speed internet.
