8.2-Acre Irrigated Hobby Farm with Updated Ranch Home
This thoughtfully maintained single-level ranch sits on 8.22 irrigated acres in rural Loma — a practical, livable hobby farm just off I‑70. The 1,930 SF layout features 3 bedrooms plus an office/den and 2 updated baths. Inside you’ll find hardwood floors, tile, and an updated kitchen appointed for everyday cooking and weekend gatherings. The primary suite has an updated bath for modern convenience. A tankless hot water heater provides efficient on-demand hot water for household and farm chores.
Outdoor spaces were designed for both work and relaxation. The parcel is currently planted in hay, fenced for animals and finished with a loafing shed and a dedicated chicken coop. Two patios at the rear of the home invite entertaining — one covered with a distinctive beetle‑kill pine ceiling and another grilling patio featuring an adjustable-louver pergola for seasonally controlled shade and airflow. Pull your trailer into the detached garage or make use of the 50‑amp RV service for long weekend getaways.
Practical utilities include public water service and a septic system; the property offers large-scale rural living without sacrificing creature comforts. Views from the covered front porch give a panoramic sense of the surrounding mesa and farmland while keeping your commute straightforward — I‑70 access is a short drive away, making Grand Junction services reachable in under 30 minutes.
This property is ideal for buyers seeking an immediate, working hobby farm: the irrigated acreage, fencing, and outbuildings create a turnkey package for small-scale hay production, livestock, or an equestrian setup. Bring your farm plans and RV — this parcel combines productive land and comfortable, single-story living in a serene agricultural setting.

1392 M 1/4 Rd, Loma, CO 81524
Loma is a small, rural community in eastern Mesa County characterized by agricultural parcels, hayfields, and wide-open views of mesas and the Colorado River corridor. The area attracts buyers seeking space, privacy, and direct access to regional outdoor attractions while remaining within commuting distance to Grand Junction. Community services are available in nearby towns; many properties in the area are hobby farms, small ranches, or countryside residences.
Strong outdoor recreation access — river corridors, trails, and the Colorado National Monument within regional driving distance; excellent for riding, fishing, hiking, and off‑road recreation.
A factual market snapshot around 1392 M 1/4 Rd.
Rural Mesa County and the Grand Junction MSA have seen steady demand for acreage properties as buyers pursue lifestyle and small-scale agricultural opportunities at prices below Front Range alternatives. Inventory of irrigated parcels is limited; buyers willing to pay for reliable irrigation and farm-ready improvements can see a premium. Median single-family prices in the area trend below Front Range metros, but irrigated hobby farms like this one push into a higher bracket — reflected in the $780,000 asking price. Expect buyer interest from local owner-occupiers, Front Range second-home purchasers, and agricultural users. Key due diligence items (water documentation, septic history) will accelerate qualified offers and maintain market momentum.
