3696 1/2 F Road, Palisade, CO 81526

This is a spectacular 5.87-acre property with space for future development on the Fruit and Wine Byway for your forever home.  It is only 5 minutes from downtown Palisade, and within easy walking distance from Tillman Bishop Wildlife Area, the Colorado River, and several local attractions, such as Talbott's Cider House and Winery, and Restoration Vineyards.  The views from this property are stunning in all directions from the future building site, and include unobstructed views of Mt. Garfield, Mt. Lincoln, the Bookcliffs, the Grand Mesa, and more.  It is not in a conservation easement, and can be developed within the Mesa County AFT zoning regulations to suit your needs.  There is currently a merlot vineyard on the majority of the property, and a 680-square foot one-bedroom one-bathroom home that you can either live in, or rent out while you build your dream home on this legacy property.    The house is currently rented out for $1,400 per month, and the lease expires at the end of August 2024.  The property comes with stellar water rights, with more than 28-acre-feet of water allowed during each farming season.  A fully functional micro sprinkler irrigation system is in place, along with an updated trellis system to keep the vines happy and supported.  The majority of the other properties surrounding this vineyard are in conservation easements, forever protecting the views that this pristine acreage possesses.  There is literally nothing else like it on East Orchard Mesa that is also so close to the Town of Palisade. The opportunities are literally endless.  In addition, there is an enclosed irrigation shed with filtration system, and also a small shed to store farming supplies and a covered parking area for your tractor.  East Orchard Irrigation Canal Number 1 wraps around the property like a moat, and the sound of the water flowing through the canal mimics a babbling river. The seller is also willing to include preliminary architectural plans for a 3,000 square foot mid-century modern home with the purchase of the property.
