Imagine waking to breathtaking vistas of the Grand Mesa, Book Cliffs, and Palisade’s vineyards from your own 7.5-acre, professionally managed peach orchard. This past year, the orchard grossed approximately $160,000, delivering the homeowners $38,000 in truly passive income, with no out-of-pocket costs or work required, and irrigation water included in the property taxes, there’s no extra overhead. This custom log home, crafted from 12–16” hand-peeled logs, blends rustic artistry with wine-country serenity in the heart of the Vineland microclimate. Sunlight pours throughout over ash and walnut hardwoods, knotty pine ceilings, and antique stained-glass windows, highlighting a dramatic wood-burning Roaring Fork River rock fireplace that anchors the main living space. Multiple main-level living areas include a second primary suite, two guest rooms, and dual offices. A craftsman-built spiral staircase leads to the upper primary suite, a private retreat with antique doors, a gas fireplace, a spa-like bath, and a brand-new Trex deck with an exterior fireplace. An exposed loft overlooks the dining room and orchard, perfect for a TV lounge, creative studio, or quiet reading nook. Wraparound decks with volcanic granite, custom copper accents, and an outdoor river-rock fireplace invite year-round enjoyment of the orchard, ponds, and mountains. The property features two serene ponds connected by a flowing stream and waterfall, creating a private, tranquil retreat that feels worlds away. With no HOA and room for future additions, this home is both sanctuary and canvas, offering a lifestyle steeped in Palisade’s orchards, wineries, farm-to-table culture, and warm small-town charm. This is more than a home; it’s an immersive retreat in Colorado’s most enchanting agricultural valley. A must see!
