Located just minutes north of Cortez with convenient paved access via County Road 25, this 8.9 acre property offers wide-open space, big sky views, and a peaceful rural setting near the popular Hawkins Preserve trail system. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home sits privately off the road and includes a functional kitchen, comfortable living area, and covered parking, providing a solid footprint for a primary residence, rental property, or future improvements. The acreage features usable land with room for animals, equipment, gardening, or expansion, and with no HOA or covenants, buyers have flexibility for a variety of residential or small agricultural uses. An additional former homesite with existing water and power access offers added versatility for a potential second dwelling, guest home, or workshop (buyer to verify with county). Positioned just outside city limits yet only minutes to downtown Cortez shopping, schools, and medical services—and within easy driving distance to Mesa Verde National Park and the Four Corners region—this property combines location, views of the surrounding mesas and mountain ranges, and long-term potential. Offered as-is and priced accordingly, it represents an opportunity for buyers looking to build equity or create their own vision in Southwest Colorado. Property is tenant occupied; showings require a minimum 48-hour notice.
