MONTEZUMA CANYON RANCH AND VINEYARDS Live the dream, in an exquisite red rock setting in beautiful Southeast Utah. This exceptional property features over 20 acres of carefully cultivated wine grapes, fruit and nut trees, barns and outbuildings, multiple residences, two developed sandstone caves, and an abundance of sites featuring artwork and ruins of Ancient Peoples. The property offers a peaceful, remote setting and has been crafted for off-grid comfort with multiple wells, four septic systems, 3 solar systems, backup generators, and more. Accessible via a well-maintained County road, the property sits about ten miles from the main thoroughfare, south of Monticello, in beautiful Montezuma Canyon. The property is nearly surrounded by BLM land, with only one contiguous neighbor. The canyon has been inhabited for thousands of years, in large part due to its favorable micro-climate and suitability for agriculture in the valley floor. As you explore the acreage, you will find awe-inspiring petroglyphs, pictographs, ruins, pottery shards, and other signs of the Ancient Peoples of the region. The vineyard is comprised of roughly 20 acres of wine grapes featuring varietals including chardonnay, pinot noir, merlot, riesling, and chenin blanc. In recent history, the grapes have been sold commercially to an acclaimed regional winery; one could also pursue their dreams of crafting a boutique winery on site. Fruit trees bring glorious blossoms in the spring, and produce commercial quantities of apples, pears, peaches, and cherries, along with apricots and some nuts. There is an extensive fenced and irrigated garden, where a bounty of vegetables can be grown each season. Farm outbuildings include a chicken coop, pole barn, tractor shed, granary, and open storage barn. Two developed sandstone caves offer cool retreats in high summer heat, as well as tremendous potential for developing wine. The canyon enjoys an abundance of wildlife - a photographer's dream! Agricultural portions of the ranch are protected by extensive and effective deer fencing. The spacious main house was remodeled in 2007 and is of Santa Fe style. Cedar beams add rustic charm to the home. It is comprised of 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including a private Master Suite. The views from the patios are stunning, sweeping across the landscape of the ranch and toward the canyon walls. The charming guest cabin was built in 2007 and features a frontier log-home style. This one bed, one bath retreat is tucked beneath the sycamore trees and includes a rugged wood stove, a perfect little kitchen, wonderful space to relax, and a classic Western front porch. The property has been a working farm and inclusive of the machinery and equipment necessary to maintain it, including irrigation equipment, tools, crop sprayers, grape crusher/de-stemmer, tractor, and more. There is potential for continued income from the grape and fruit harvests. This beautiful ranch would make an extraordinary get-away retreat, with perfect housing for your on-site manager. Or, embrace the magnificent canyon as your year-round residence, and enjoy a lifestyle that cannot be matched in the Four Corners region!
