Description

This historical property is tucked away in the scenic beauty of McElmo Canyon and bordering acres of BLM land. In Montezuma County, McElmo Canyon is known for the longest growing crop season because of the altitude, location. You can sell your products at the local FARMERS MARKETS. Also, the Canyon is famous for Winery's!!! The fertile, irrigated land offers incredible potential for sustainable enjoyable getaway. The rich soil and generous piped water rights—.40 c.f.s from Rock Creek Ditch (Appropriation Priority No. 1962-1, Ditch 1)— is enough water to nurture a productive garden, mature fruit trees, and grape vines, all yielding a plentiful harvest season after season. NO COVENANTS OR HOA FEES!!! This one-room rustic but charming cabin sits on 3.7 acres perfect place to camp out while building your dream home. Whether you're looking for a peaceful homestead, a weekend getaway, or a place to live closer to the land, this property delivers, tons of room for your family and friends to camp out with RV'S, campers, tents and enjoy the outdoors. The Rustic cabin features a wrap-around covered porch ideal for enjoying the surrounding canyon views. Interior gives you a western theme with the tree post in the center of the great room. you'll find tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings, a kitchen equipped with a propane oven/range, refrigerator, and double sink, along with ceiling fans, a window AC unit, and either a propane heater or electric fireplace for year-round comfort. Additional highlights include a root cellar, useable outbuildings for animals and storage fencing and cross-fencing, and proximity minutes to the 12 mile stretch of Sand Canyon Trailhead for hiking, biking and horseback riding. This could be a great "stop off" place for snacks and boarding a few horses. At the present time domestic water will need to be hauled in but a well permit can be issued for in house use only. Document from District Court, Montezuma County , Court Case No. 98 PR 84 needs to be submitted with the application. A port-a-John would be an option for friends and family, the land’s productivity and natural setting make this a rare and special offering. County has a few restrictions but "no" building permits " except for engineered septic system, electrical and plumbing. Property line in back of home extends past the fence. Lots of potential with this property!!!
