Water is an issue Durango west and your information on well drilling is appropriately “maybe.” It has always been a dry land since Noah anyway. Grew up in far west Dolores county. There are good properties and lovely homes that have a water truck parked out back…. The Mcfee dam did provide municipal and agricultural water improvements back in the 80’s but it’s still dry country.
I still have a brother there and a son in Gunnison. The comments on Gunnison are accurate. Very expensive living and darned cold. Beautiful place though and there is a privately owned Blackhawk in a hanger there.
Good luck on your search sir. Let me know if I could be helpful.

what are all the farmers in that area doing to water their bean fields? That area around cortez and mancos has tons of farming. I would also not consider the country excessively dry compared to utah, nevada and wyoming.
