About This Home

As of February 2026

A rare blend of comfort, space and Western Slope serenity unfolds at 1473 17 Rd. A ranch style retreat set on almost 3 irrigated acres just minutes from Fruita. Surrounded by mature evergreens, fruit trees and panoramic views of the Colorado National Monument, Bookcliffs and Grand Mesa, this property offers the freedom of country living without sacrificing convenience. The home is also located on the Mesa County snow plow route, providing reliable year round access. A welcoming entry with travertine and stained glass accents introduces a warm interior featuring multiple living spaces. The home includes a living room, formal dining room, sitting area and a flexible kitchen layout with a dining bar and adjoining office or family room. The primary bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary with its own en suite three quarter bathroom, while the additional bedrooms share a well appointed full bath with a dual sink vanity. A pellet stove adds cozy ambiance, while two swamp coolers and radient baseboard electric heat support seasonal comfort. A bonus screened in patio with heat and water creates an all season extension of the home. The acreage invites endless possibility with an irrigated pasture, a large dry lot, a round pen and a six stall equestrian barn with skylights and workshop area. Additional features include an oversized dog run, chicken coop, two extra outbuildings with one offering electricity, RV parking, three patio areas, a hay backstop and ample irrigation water from Grand Valley Water Users. Fresh exterior paint enhances all structures, and a full roof replacement is scheduled this month. With no HOA and abundant space to expand, this property offers a lifestyle of openness and possibility. Just one mile from world renowned biking trails and four miles from Fruita’s small town charm, this is Western Colorado living at its most peaceful and inspiring. Embrace the potential of this acreage and the beauty that surrounds it.
