  • Great weather, year round.

    • Snow that melts off the roads, not off the forested x-c ski trails.

    • Scary fun mountain biking close by for 3.5 seasons, with more trails developed yearly.

    • Getting hot? Head uphill to the La Platas, Dolores area, Lizard Head.

    • Getting cold? Head downhill to Sand Canyon, Bluff, or Moab.

  • A growing foodie culture (pun intended):

    • FIVE micro-breweries within 20 minutes.

    • A real Farm to Table movement - apple and pear orchards, artisanal cheeses, fresh organics at the three nearby Farmer’s Markets, even home made ice creams.

    • Amazing restaurants. Several committed, professional chefs have found Cortez is affordable - check out their varied cuisines!

  • Culture:

    • More Ancestral Puebloans lived here a few hundred years ago than all of us now. Learn! Volunteer!

    • Local public radio station KSJD and Sunflower Theater host live music, plays, events.

  • No Commuting Nightmares: A stunning drive, with almost no traffic, whether you’re headed to…

    Cortez (5 minutes) Durango (40 minutes) Telluride (90 minutes) Moab (120 minutes)

  • NO building permits required! Requirements for electric, plumbing, septic only. Easy.

  • Affordability - land, building, recreation, dining out, yoga, .… It’s just more affordably fun here.

Oh, and the most amazing sunsets….
