Set on a generous 3.25-acre parcel along Highway 491, this updated single-level manufactured home blends rural acreage with move-in readiness. The compact 729 sq ft footprint thoughtfully accommodates four bedrooms and two bathrooms — a layout that provides private sleeping spaces while maximizing usable outdoor land. The seller completed a kitchen remodel and fresh interior paint, and mechanical systems include a recently serviced furnace and ductwork replaced about two years ago. Cooling is provided by a window A/C unit.
Outside, the grounds are a standout: six mature fruit trees (cherry, apple and plum) create an immediate productive landscape, and two sizeable sheds deliver storage for tools, toys, or workshop space. A covered carport protects your vehicle and there’s gravel parking with space for an RV. The property fronts Highway 491 and offers broad, unobstructed views toward the Ute and La Plata ranges — an ideal backdrop for outdoor living or projects.
Utilities are connected: public water and public sewer simplify ownership relative to remote parcels, and wired internet/cable availability supports remote work or streaming needs. There are no HOA fees or covenants, giving you the flexibility to pursue hobby-farm uses, add outbuildings, or install an RV hookup (confirm permitting with Montezuma County). Two sheds and generous open yard space mean immediate utility for livestock pens, gardening, or gear storage.
Located within reach of Cortez for groceries, services and regional conveniences, the property is also a practical base for recreation — Mesa Verde National Park, McPhee Reservoir, and a network of trailheads are within regional driving distance. This home will appeal to buyers seeking acreage with productive soil, straightforward utilities, and a turnkey residence — whether you’re building a hobby farm, downsizing while keeping land, or securing a recreation retreat. Schedule a showing to see the views and productive orchard in person.
The property sits in rural Dolores along Highway 491 — a quiet corridor of ranches, small-acreage homes, and open fields. Dolores is a small, historic community that trades on its proximity to outdoor recreation and a slower pace of life. Essential services and a wider selection of shops are available in Cortez, while Mesa Verde and regional reservoirs supply abundant recreational opportunities year-round.
Rural Montezuma County has shown steady buyer interest in properties that combine acreage with utility connections and recreation access. While small conditioned area makes per-square-foot figures appear high, buyers in this corridor pay a premium for usable land and privacy. Inventory in Dolores/Cortez tends to be moderate; expect marketing timelines longer than urban markets but strong interest from niche buyers (hobby farmers, outdoor enthusiasts, retirees). Median sale prices in the area have been modestly up year-over-year; buyers are drawn to properties that require minimal immediate capital improvements — a position this listing occupies given recent updates. For sellers: emphasize land, utilities (public water/sewer), and the orchard. For buyers: verify zoning for desired uses and consider modest HVAC upgrades to broaden appeal.
