A substantial agricultural residence on Road T in Cahone is now active on the MLS with an asking price of $649,000. The property at 13723 Road T is listed under MLS number 826334, with the listing courtesy of The Wells Group of Durango and agent Kyle Roberts. The residence is a Farm House style, one story structure built in 2005, offering three bedrooms and two full bathrooms across approximately 1,980 square feet.

The parcel totals 29.72 acres, with approximately 27.70 acres listed as irrigated. The listing highlights two side roll irrigation systems and 53.4 acre feet of irrigation water rights, which works out to roughly 1.93 acre feet of water per irrigated acre. Onsite agricultural infrastructure includes a full size equestrian riding arena, an oversized shop with two 12 foot roll up doors, a barn, corrals and a metal building, making the property suitable for hay production, horses, livestock and hobby farming.

Basic utilities and systems are in place. Heating sources include propane and a wood pellet stove, and the property notes public domestic water, septic, cell reception and internet access. Appliances included in the sale are range and oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and microwave. Zoning is listed as Agriculture and Residential Single Family, permitting residential use, agriculture, hobby farm operations, equestrian activities and livestock.

Simple arithmetic places the asking price at about $21,835 per total acre and about $23,435 per irrigated acre, though amenities and built improvements mean acreage alone does not capture full value. The water rights and irrigation infrastructure are particularly consequential in this part of Southwest Colorado where irrigated land is limited and secure water allocations can determine whether hay production and pasture remain viable.

For Dolores County, the listing signals continuing interest in small farm and equestrian style properties. Properties with established irrigation and support buildings lower the barriers for buyers seeking to operate a productive small farm or run horses, and they can keep working agricultural land in production. From a policy perspective, water rights and irrigation infrastructure will remain the central factors in sustaining agricultural use as climate variability places more emphasis on efficient water management and on the legal security of water entitlements.

The property sits off Highway 491 north of Cortez, accessed via County Line Road and Road T. The listing was updated December 31, 2025.
