Located just minutes from Dove Creek, this 461.13-acre dryland farm offers a valuable combination of agricultural productivity, wildlife habitat, and long-term versatility. Currently in a wheat and safflower crop rotation, the land is well-suited for continued farming operations while also offering strong potential as a recreational or hunting property. Positioned within trophy mule deer unit 711, the property qualifies for Colorado’s Landowner Preference Program and benefits from over-the-counter elk tags — key advantages for hunting buyers. The natural features of the land, including open fields, mature timber, and established windbreaks, support healthy wildlife populations. Deer, elk, and turkeys are frequently observed on the property, with fresh sign evident throughout. The land’s gently rolling topography enhances its usability for both agriculture and recreation. Two-track roads allow access across much of the property, and water taps are available on both bordering roads — adding future potential for infrastructure or development. Most of the acreage is fenced, and year-round access via paved roads ensures ease of use in all seasons. Expansive 360-degree views of the La Sal, Abajo, Sleeping Ute, and La Plata mountain ranges contribute to the scenic character of the property, while the location — just 5 minutes from town and 35 minutes from Cortez — offers a balance of privacy and convenience. Whether you’re an investor seeking productive land with upside, a recreational buyer looking for hunting ground in a premier unit, or someone envisioning a long-term homestead in the high desert of Southwest Colorado, this property offers a compelling mix of function, beauty, and opportunity.
