Beautiful Small Acreage in Colorado's Fruit & Wine Country

6.5 Acres - $455,000

This wonderful property is very deceiving from the road. There is a great ranch style home with a full nicely finished basement, a 3 car detached garage with additional work/storage room,  a 4 bay equipment shed and a small workshop. All of this PLUS 3.5 acres of irrigated pasture and a large pond complete with boat dock and fish.

This property is located at the intersection of 34 Road and C 1/2 Road, on East Orchard Mesa. It is directly across from Alida's Fruits along C 1/2 Road. The 3.5 acre field is bordered by 34 Road on the west and C 1/2 along the north boundary. The pond is along the property's east boundary.

The field is irrigated with an aluminum gated pipe and underground system using Orchard Mesa Irrigation District water.  This water runs with the land and can not be sold separately. It is collected along with the Mesa County property taxes.

The house is a ranch style home over a full finished basement. As you can see, there are wonderful, large picture windows in the living and dining area that provide wonderful natural light and access to the beautiful scenery surrounding the house. There is also a 16'x20' treks deck and hot tub on the southeast corner of the house that is mostly shaded by the beautiful Cottonwood trees in the yard.

The front door of this home enters into the living area that easily flows into the dining area. The large windows make up most of the east wall of these two bright and cheerful rooms. There is a large rock fireplace along the north wall with a wood burning insert that provides fabulous warmth in the cold winter months.  There is one bedroom with a large closet that is near the front of the house.

The main level master bedroom has two large walk-in closets and two big windows for good natural light. The room is large and spacious. There is a door into the shared bathroom that has been completely remodeled in the last few years. A walk-in shower was installed, along with a tube skylight to brighten the room. The bathroom floor is tile while most of the rest of the house is carpeted.

The comfortable country kitchen has built in double ovens and a glass range top. There are several large windows that make this kitchen very bright and cheerful. This home has great storage space with cabinets in the kitchen, a walk-in pantry downstairs and large closets in a sun room off the kitchen. This room has a large closet and is also the laundry room with the washer, dryer and a big shop sink.

The basement of this home was the original home, built back during WWII. In 1973, the main level was added to double the size of the house. Access to the lower level is in the kitchen via a wide staircase leading downstairs. The first room was the original kitchen and still has the sink area, but has been turned into a game room with a pool table. The sellers are leaving the pool table with the sale of the house. An old cistern has been accessed to create a wonderful 7'x10' storage/pantry. 

There is a small non-conforming bedroom on this level. New windows were installed a few years ago, but they do not meet the county's requirement for legal ingress/egress.

The original living room of this level has been converted into a wonderful (non-conforming) master suite. Although this is a lower level, it is very comfortable and light.  These rooms stay cool in the summer and there is a second water heater to service this level. The furnace is also located on this level. This bathroom has a very unique rock shower.

The large utility room serves as both a closet for the master bedroom but also to house the boiler and water heater.

In addition to this wonderful house, this property sports a 3 car garage with an extra room for a workshop or storage. There is also a 4 bay equipment shed that can be used to house equipment or to cover the production from the 3.5 acres.

This garage has 220 power and a concrete floor. The power box seen on the outside wall is for RV hookups. There is also a second septic system near the concrete pad available for RV dumping.

A small workshop building completes our list of outbuildings. Part of this building used to be the chicken coop and could be used so again. The end with the windows has a concrete floor and workbenches.

The last neat feature of this property is the pond. This pond was permitted many years ago by Mesa County. The water is used only for fishing, boating, swimming and watering the yard.
