Experience the Western Colorado country lifestyle on 1.81 acres with irrigation just outside Eckert, where sweeping views of the San Juan, Grand Mesa, and Uncompahgre mountain ranges surround this private setting. Tucked along a quiet graveled lane bordering an evergreen tree farm, the property opens to wide skies, fresh air, and the kind of space that defines rural Colorado living. Step through the covered entry into a warm and inviting 2 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath, 1056 sq ft home where natural light fills the open living and kitchen area. The kitchen is designed for everyday living—generous counter space, attractive wood cabinetry, double-door refrigerator, glass top electric range, dishwasher—while a ledged bay window above the sink frames views of the yard and acreage during meal prep and clean-up. The space flows easily into the living area, creating a comfortable setting for gathering and daily life. Double glass doors open to a patterned concrete patio and walkways, extending your living space outdoors. From morning coffee to evening sunsets, this is where the pace slows and the views take over. The primary suite offers private patio access, a tiled walk-in shower, vanity, linen storage, and a spacious walk-in closet with built-in drawers, shelving, and racks. A second bedroom also features a walk-in closet, while a full bath, hallway pantry, additional storage, and a dedicated laundry room add to the home’s functionality. Comfort meets efficiency with recessed lighting, forced air heat, in-wall A/C, window coverings, and a blend of vinyl, cork, tile, and carpet flooring throughout. Step outside into your own usable acreage—garden areas, shade trees, vines, shrubs and a second patio and walkways surrounded by mountain views, under Colorado blue skies, and star-filled nights. The partially fenced land includes 4 shares of the Marcott Ditch offering valuable irrigation water for crops, hobby farming, or livestock—an increasingly sought-after feature in Western Colorado real estate. Outbuildings provide the infrastructure buyers are looking for. A detached oversized 2-car garage includes counters, cupboards, and workspace and a heated multipurpose room —ideal for projects, storage, or hobbies—along with an attached carport. A wood-frame greenhouse on a concrete pad supports early-season planting, while a storage shed and Quonset hut offer additional space for equipment, RVs, or recreational gear. Septic system and Orchard City water tap in place. Located minutes from Highway 65 with convenient access to Eckert and Cedaredge for everyday services, dining, and community events, and within an hour of Grand Junction—the Western Slope hub for shopping, medical services, regional airport, and I-70 corridor travel—this property blends quiet country living with accessibility. Ideal for buyers seeking a Colorado country home, acreage property, or investment opportunity with water, usability, and long-term potential. Morning light over Grand Mesa. Sunsets blazing behind mountain peaks. Your home. Your acreage. Country living at its best —with home, land, water, and room to grow.
