This rare Iris Road offering combines a thoughtfully remodeled ranch home with one of the most functional shop setups you’ll find in Delta County. The single-level floor plan (approx. 2,854 sq ft) places living, entertaining, and the oversized primary suite all on one floor. Inside you’ll find a formal sitting room with fireplace, family room, a formal dining space and a sunroom that flows to the large south-facing patio—perfect for outdoor dinners and valley views. The kitchen supports both casual breakfasts in the eat-in area and a separate breakfast nook; a huge laundry/mudroom and walk-in pantry provide exceptional storage and daily convenience.
The primary bedroom is generous and features a five-piece bath and walk-in closet. Secondary bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home for privacy—one with its own private bath and the other served by a large Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Finishes include a mix of tile, simulated wood, laminate, and carpet; appliances include a gas cooktop, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. The home is move-in ready with a low-maintenance exterior and covered front patio.
Beyond the house, the property shines. The 30x40 detached shop (approximately 1,200 sq ft) is heated and cooled, wired for an RV plug, and designed to store multiple full-size trucks while still leaving room for a full-length workshop—ideal for mechanics, woodworkers, or serious hobbyists. A detached two-car garage and carport add vehicle flexibility. The grounds are equally well-appointed: fenced pasture, riding arena, three-stall loafing shed/horse barn, and raised garden beds with automatic sprinklers make this a genuine hobby-farm ready for immediate use. Public water and natural gas service are in place (on-site septic).
Set back from the road and perched on a quiet hill, the property feels private while remaining close enough to Delta for schools and services. If you’ve been searching for a turnkey, one-level home with significant shop capability and equine-ready acreage, schedule a showing—properties with this combination of condition and utility are uncommon.
Austin is a small, rural community east of Delta characterized by open pastures, hobby farms, and homes on acreage. Residents value privacy, equine and outdoor recreation, and easy access to Delta for everyday services. The setting attracts buyers from nearby Grand Junction and local towns who are seeking functional land with lower-density living and quick access to regional outdoor pursuits.
Delta County and the broader Grand Junction region have shown steady demand for quality acreage properties that offer workshop and equine infrastructure. While median single-family prices in the region tend to sit well below the list price here, fully outfitted hobby farms and homes with large heated shops command a premium and typically move more quickly than generic rural listings. Inventory for turnkey horse-ready properties is limited, so well-presented homes with documented systems (septic, shop HVAC, electrical) frequently attract competitive offers. Expect a buyer pool that includes regional owner-operators, tradespeople seeking built-in workspace, and riders looking for immediate horse facilities. Days on market for comparable specialty properties often fall below general rural averages when marketed to the right niche.
