Description
View more photos & info on LANDIO. Some properties are defined by what has been added to them. This one is defined by what remains open: long views across juniper-covered mesas, the La Plata Mountains holding the horizon, and enough distance between neighboring homes for the rugged landscape and wildlife to remain front and center. Located in Cedar Mesa Ranches between Mancos and Cortez, this 20.14 Acre Property is made up of a 10.06 Acre parcel and a 10.08 Acre parcel and offers the scale and setting many buyers seek in rural Southwest Colorado without requiring them to begin entirely off-grid. The subdivision sits directly across US Highway 160 from Mesa Verde National Park and is largely surrounded by Bureau of Land Management and state-owned land. It is a quiet, no-through-traffic community where parcels range from approximately five to nearly 50 acres. The property includes approximately 975 feet of frontage along Road 35 for added flexibility when evaluating an entrance, driveway, homesite, outbuildings, and the orientation of outdoor living areas. Buyers have freedom to review the parcel boundaries, terrain, and surrounding ownership while planning their ideal layout. The landscape reflects the rugged foothill character of Montezuma County. Pinyon pine, Utah juniper, Gambel oak, cactus, native grasses, and seasonal wildflowers cover rocky, rolling ground. This is land that could suit a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or thriving homestead, with room for a shop, garden, animals, trails, or other improvements where allowed. Cedar Mesa Ranches encompasses roughly 2,000 Acres and 139 Properties. Every lot fronts an HOA-Maintained County Road and has access to Underground Water, Electric, and Telecom. Keeping these services below ground helps preserve the open views and gives buyers a more practical starting point than many comparably rural parcels. For added safety, the community is listed as a Firewise USA participant and has fire hydrants installed throughout the subdivision, an established wildfire evacuation plan, and a mapped emergency route. Roads are wide and drivable, but this remains mountain-country access. The HOA notes that winter storms can leave snow-packed or icy sections and that some subdivision roads have curves and grades of up to 13 percent. Four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or traction devices may be necessary during winter weather. The roads also function as shared routes for walking, horseback riding, jogging, and cross-country skiing. Seeing elk or mule deer graze along the hillsides is common in this part of the Four Corners region. Cedar Mesa Ranches reports wildlife like elk, mule deer, wild turkey, black bear, mountain lion, bobcat, fox, coyote, and bald eagles. The property lies within Colorado Game Management Unit 73. Nearby CPW-managed tracts, including Menefee Peak and Weber Canyon, have opportunities for deer, elk, bear, turkey, mountain lion, and small game, subject to property-specific dates, licenses, and regulations (learn more). The subdivision also has designated pedestrian and equestrian connectors to adjacent BLM land for easy access. Note: Buyers should verify legal access points and land status before entering, as some nearby preserved state property is not necessarily open to public recreation, and owning property within a GMU does not itself establish hunting rights on private or state land. This Property brings together 20.14 Acres of beautifully rugged Colorado terrain, ample road frontage, discreet underground utilities, maintained subdivision roads, nearby public-land access, and far-reaching views of the La Plata Mountains and surrounding mesas.
