The land is a mixture of trees, meadows, and a big pond; all of which are level and have great LaPlata, Mesa and Ute Mountain views. McElmo Creek runs through the North side of the property meandering through a canyon, which is accessible on a new dirt road. The dirt road winds through parts of the property, starting at the entry. The property is accessed through a 30â?? easement, which is fenced, so you do not have to open gates unless you close your own, at the start of your property. This field offers many possibilities, being very level and surrounded by trees. You can build your home or bring your home; think big or small or mobile, no restrictions on the type. All of this being in close proximity to Cortez Municipal Airport, Canyon of the Ancients National Monument, and locally to the Hawkins Preserve trails.
