Land with Home for Sale in Grand Junction, Colorado

Colorado SELF SUFFICIENT Homestead With Senior WATER RIGHTS!!! Rare opportunities like this seldom come to market in the Redlands-especially properties offering secure water rights, established food production, and energy independence potential-all just minutes from town. Set on 5.63 private acres (three acres are in the process of being added to this parce). This exceptional property offers the resources serious homestead and off-grid buyers seek. The land backs directly to 30 acres of 500-year floodplain, with the 80-acre Kindred Reserve on the opposite side, creating a natural buffer of open space and a wildlife corridor where deer, bears, mountain lions, bobcats, rabbits, and coyotes are frequently seen. Water security is one of the property's greatest assets. It includes senior water rights from Lime Kiln Gulch, providing first access to consistently flowing irrigation water. A robust irrigation system with 26 main valves, 340 irrigation heads, and a powerful 3-HP pump supports the fruit trees, gardens, and surrounding landscape. The property also features an artesian well producing exceptionally clean, naturally pressurized water free of sulfur and metals-an outstanding long-term water source. Food production is established with approximately 1.5 acres of vegetable and herb gardens on nutrient rich soil and an impressive orchard of 80 fruit trees. A naturally cooled root cellar maintains a steady 52 degrees , ideal for preserving harvests and year-round food storage. Energy independence is within reach, this all-electric home utilizes passive solar heating for roughly 40% of the home, while a wood-burning fireplace with blower efficiently heats the remainder. Flowing water from Lime Kiln Gulch also presents potential for hydroelectric generation, with additional options for solar or wind power. Infrastructure includes a detached 6-car garage and massive workshop with electricity, water, and central vacuum-ideal for projects or homestead operations. Included equipment features a 30-ton dragline, CAT 5 dozer, double-axle dump truck, and a 25-HP articulated tractor. The adjacent 59.60-acre parcel directly to the north is also owned by the seller and offered for $3.9 million. Lime Kiln Gulch continues through that property as well and it can be added to this off grid home or it can be developed. Opportunities to own a water-secure, self-sufficient property like this are increasingly rare in Western Colorado. Buyer to verify all information.
