About the property

New Texas Hill Country–Style Ranch on 5+ Acres with Heated Pool

This brand-new, single-level ranch blends rustic Texas Hill Country character with modern luxury across 4,836 finished square feet on just over 5.13 acres. Enter through a covered porch into a great room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and sweeping Andersen windows that frame nearly 360° views. The chef-inspired kitchen is equipped for serious cooking with upgraded appliances, thoughtful workspace and an open plan that flows directly to expansive covered patios on both sides of the home — perfect for large gatherings or quiet evenings.

Outside the home functions as a private resort: a fully appointed outdoor kitchen, generous entertaining terraces and an in-ground heated pool give the property a rare lifestyle edge in the Grand Valley. Multiple flex spaces inside the home offer targeted use as a home office, gym, media room or guest suite. Practical touches include an attached garage with door opener, designated RV access/parking, and laundry room. The seller will provide incentives toward landscaping and window coverings to customize the grounds and finishing touches to buyer preference.

Sited to maximize views and privacy, the residence is ideal for buyers seeking a maintenance-conscious single-level plan with room for toys and guests. Whether you’re entertaining at the pool, enjoying the porch with evening sunsets, or working from a quiet corner of the home, this property offers a distinctive combination of craftsmanship, scale and outdoor living that’s uncommon at this price point in the area.

Contact the listing agent for a private tour and to review builder documentation, septic and pool equipment warranties, and details about incentives for landscaping/window coverings.

Editorial neighborhood context

The 23 Rd corridor west/east of Grand Junction offers a rural-residential character with large parcels, wide open views of the Grand Valley and quick access to the outdoor amenities that define the area. Properties here typically attract buyers looking for privacy and space, while still wanting reasonable access to downtown Grand Junction's shops, dining and medical services. Expect nearby agricultural parcels, vineyards and other custom homes on acreage.

Editorial market perspective

Grand Junction’s resale market remains favorable to sellers of unique, high-quality properties with acreage and notable outdoor amenities. The typical median single-family price in the area sits well below this listing — creating a niche luxury segment where inventory is thin and buyers are often regional (Front Range relocations, local executives, and buyers seeking a second home). Expect a selective buyer pool that values privacy, open views and turnkey outdoor entertaining. Marketing should emphasize drone footage, twilight pool and patio shots, and targeted outreach to affluent buyers in Denver/Boulder and Salt Lake City markets. Pricing at $2.475M positions the home competitively within the custom acreage tier; expect a longer marketing period than entry-level city homes but strong interest from buyers seeking turn-key luxury on acreage.
