Welcome to 5200 Road 21, Cortez, CO 81321 — a rare opportunity to own an exceptional agricultural property that offers both rustic charm and modern conveniences. Set in the sweeping splendor of Southwest Colorado, this unique estate combines functional farmland features with a beautifully remodeled home, making it ideal for those who want to live, work, and thrive in one place. Offering 2,040 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2 three-quarter bathroom home is comfortable, efficient, and full of potential. Let’s start with the home itself. Originally built with solid bones and remodeled in 2007, the house has been updated to reflect today’s comfortable living standards. The welcoming interior features a functional layout that keeps your everyday life flowing easily from room to room. With warm, inviting finishes and high-end touches, it’s clear that every improvement has been made with care and intention. In the kitchen, stainless steel appliances stand ready for your culinary creations. The granite countertops provide plenty of prep space and visual appeal, offering both beauty and practicality. Adjacent dining and living areas provide ample room for entertaining, everyday family time, or simply relaxing with a good book and a view you’ll never tire of. All three bedrooms are spacious and light-filled, and the primary bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat. The two three-quarter bathrooms offer modern fixtures and finishes. Thoughtfully designed, they provide just the right combination of style and utility, adding to the home’s overall ease of living. While the home is lovely and inviting, the real showstopper is what sits outside your front and back doors. Sprawling across several acres of versatile, productive land, this property has been developed with a sustainable and intelligent approach to agriculture. It has everything you need for a serious growing operation—or for living out your dream of a lifestyle that puts fresh food and self-reliance at its center. Two sprawling greenhouses, each 60 by 120 feet, stand ready to take your farm-to-table goals to the next level. Whether your interest lies in growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, or exotic greens, these structures offer the space, light, and protection needed for year-round growing. With their size and functionality, you might even find yourself growing more than you can eat—perfect for farmers market stalls, local restaurants, or community supported agriculture programs. Supporting the greenhouses is a 30 by 50-foot fish house that forms a smart and eco-friendly hub for a recirculating water system. Here's where things get especially interesting: The fish house not only provides aquaponic fertilization for your plants, but it also connects to a highly efficient water filtration system that reduces waste and improves overall yield. This self-contained system demonstrates not only a commitment to sustainable practices but also highlights how much thought and expertise has gone into making this property truly one-of-a-kind. Adding to the agricultural capability, there is a hay pasture irrigated by a side roll irrigation system, making it easy to support small livestock or develop additional crops. The property comes with Montezuma Valley irrigation water rights, ensuring a reliable water source that’s a must-have in this region. This is more than just a tract of land—it's a working and productive asset capable of supporting your agricultural endeavors from day one. Also on the property is a large shop, perfect for equipment storage, tool organization, or even conversion to additional workspace if your farming dreams require a little workshop space. Come see what it's like to live in harmony with your surroundings while enjoying modern comfort and endless possibility. With its thoughtful features and abundant potential, 5200 Road 21 might just be the place where your next chapter begins—one harvest at a time.
