5200 Road 21, Cortez, CO 81321

Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully established agricultural production property with integrated aquaponics infrastructure just south of Cortez, Colorado. Situated on 7.67 acres with one share of irrigation water, this unique property was previously operated for commercial vegetable production and offers the infrastructure, systems, and flexibility for a variety of agricultural, specialty crop, or sustainable farming ventures. Designed with efficiency and sustainability in mind, the property includes two expansive 60x120-foot greenhouses dedicated to vegetable production, along with a separate greenhouse housing the fish and filtration systems essential to the aquaponics operation. At the center of the system is a 30x50-foot fish house that functions as the operational hub for the recirculating water system. This advanced setup provides natural aquaponic fertilization while utilizing a highly efficient filtration process that minimizes waste, conserves water, and supports improved crop yields.

The infrastructure already in place creates significant potential for year-round growing operations, wholesale or direct-to-market produce sales, farm-to-table partnerships, educational programs, agritourism, or expansion into specialty and organic crop production. With sustainable systems becoming increasingly valuable in modern agriculture, this property presents an opportunity to step into an established setup without the time and expense of building from the ground up. In addition to the commercial infrastructure, the property includes a well-maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath farmhouse originally built in 1904 and extensively remodeled in 2007. The residence provides comfortable on-site living for owners, managers, employees, or potential short-term rental use. Features include a large kitchen with granite countertops, abundant storage and prep space, wraparound covered porch, spacious upstairs bedrooms, and panoramic views of Ute Mountain. This is more than just a residence—it is a turnkey agricultural property with established infrastructure, operational potential, and multiple income-producing opportunities in the growing sustainable agriculture sector.
