    Welcome to 2161 Hwy 160/491, Cortez, Colorado — a tranquil retreat where spacious living meets the wide open skies of the Southwest. Thoughtfully situated just minutes from the heart of Cortez, this exceptional property offers a unique combination of comfortable residential living and agricultural functionality. Whether you’re seeking room to roam, space to grow, or a bit of both, this single-level ranch-style home on a productive agricultural parcel is ready to welcome you. At the core of the property is a well-constructed, single-story home offering 2,300 square feet of interior space. Designed with ease of living in mind, this house balances traditional ranch-style charm with modern conveniences. The layout includes three generous bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing an ideal lifestyle for families, small groups, or anyone who desires room to stretch out and relax. Upon entering, you’re met with an open and inviting floor plan that highlights natural light and a comfortable flow from room to room. The large living area offers a perfect spot for relaxing evenings, lively gatherings, or quiet mornings accompanied by views of the surrounding countryside. The kitchen is equipped to handle everything with ample counter space and well-placed cabinetry, it serves as a hub of the home. Whether you're a seasoned cook or someone who prefers to toast muffins and call it breakfast, this kitchen will keep pace with your culinary adventures. The primary bedroom provides a quiet escape at the end of the day. Spacious in size, it offers room for a large bed, additional furniture, and still allows for peaceful breathing room. The accompanying en suite bathroom is outfitted with practical comforts, ideal for easing into your morning or winding down at night. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family members, guests, or home office setups and share access to a second full bathroom, carefully arranged for comfort and privacy. While the house itself checks every box for modern rural living, the true heart of this property lies in its land and the possibilities it offers. Set against a backdrop of mountain views and open skies, this property boasts features that cater both to hobby farmers and seasoned agriculturalists alike. The property supports hay production and includes well-designed hay barns for storage and protection. Cattle chutes are already in place, offering a functional layout for managing livestock with efficiency and safety. For equestrian enthusiasts or anyone who enjoys the companionship of four-legged grazers, horse barns offer additional versatility and shelter. A key feature of this property is its inclusion of ten shares of Montezuma Valley Irrigation water, which helps sustain your agricultural ambitions. This water is delivered through the efficient side roll system, allowing irrigation for up to 20 acres of land — an essential component for continued hay production, pasture quality, or other agricultural uses. Despite its rural feel, this property enjoys the convenience of close access to the town of Cortez. Restaurants, grocery stores, and other everyday essentials are only a short drive away, making it easy to balance the serenity of country life with the practicalities of modern living. Families will appreciate the nearby schools, while outdoor enthusiasts have access to some of Colorado's most majestic natural attractions—including Mesa Verde National Park, McPhee Reservoir, and the trails and wilderness areas that crisscross Montezuma County. Add to that the property’s location along the scenic Highway 160/491 corridor—with its balance of seclusion and accessibility—and you’ve got an investment not just in land, but in lifestyle. Come explore 2161 Hwy 160/491 for yourself and imagine the life that’s waiting here—the big skies, the fruitful land, the warm home. Whether
