Property Description

Experience the best of rural Southwest Colorado living at this versatile 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom home nestled on 3.1 acres in Montezuma County. With scenic views of the La Plata Mountains and sweeping valley vistas, this peaceful retreat combines the serenity of country life with convenient proximity to town amenities. Built in 1980 and thoughtfully updated, this 2,418 sq. ft. two-story ranch-style home offers a warm and inviting layout designed for comfort and practicality. The spacious living room centers around a cozy pellet stove, perfect for crisp mountain evenings. Natural light filters through double-pane windows, highlighting the blend of tile, laminate, and partial carpet flooring. A separate dining area provides an ideal space for family gatherings or entertaining guests. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances including a range/oven, dishwasher, disposal, and microwave, with a generous pantry and mudroom nearby for added functionality. Upstairs, the primary suite features a private bath and peaceful mountain views, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or office space. Outside, enjoy a lifestyle rooted in the open spaces of the West. The property includes one irrigated acre served by Montezuma Rural Water and a small storage shed for tools or equipment. With zoning that allows for residential, agricultural, equestrian, or livestock use, this property supports a wide range of lifestyles — from hobby farming and gardening to keeping horses or simply enjoying the open landscape. The partially fenced yard and mature shade trees add to its charm and usability. The home also offers an attached two-car garage, evaporative cooling for warm summer days, and multiple heat sources — electric baseboards, a fireplace, and a pellet stove — ensuring year-round comfort. Located just north of Cortez, this home offers easy access to local schools (Kemper Elementary, Cortez Middle, and Montezuma-Cortez High), grocery stores, and dining, while remaining only a short drive from some of Colorado's most iconic outdoor destinations. Explore the sandstone cliffs and canyons of Mesa Verde National Park, fish or paddleboard at McPhee Reservoir, or enjoy endless hiking, biking, and off-roading in the surrounding San Juan Mountains. Life in Southwest Colorado means clean air, starry nights, and a tight-knit community that values self-reliance and connection to the land. Whether you're seeking a small-scale agricultural property, a comfortable rural residence, or a basecamp for mountain recreation, 12665 Road 23 offers a rare combination of space, versatility, and natural beauty — all within minutes of town conveniences.
