About 2997 Road 20.5
Situated 7 miles southeast of Cortez, this 1,285.73-acre Montezuma County ranch offers exceptional big-game hunting and outdoor recreation across expansive Southwest Colorado terrain. The property supports a strong agricultural foundation with approximately 221 irrigated acres powered by 200 Montezuma Valley Irrigation shares, side-roll sytems, producing hay, corn, and rotational crops. A 13-acre drip-irrigated vineyard is leased to a Colorado winery, providing steady agricultural income. Beyond production, the ranch is a premier wildlife habitat, attracting trophy elk, mule deer, and wild turkey, making it ideal for serious hunters or private sportsmen seeking large, diverse ground. A stocked private bass pond adds year-round fishing opportunities and recreational value. The ranch also shares a boundary with Yucca House National Monument, a protected Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site dating from 1150–1300 A.D., preserving the region’s historic landscape character while maintaining full ranch operational use. Extensive perimeter fencing supports livestock grazing and wildlife management across the balance of the property.
