7.86 Acres
This 7.86-acre irrigated land parcel is located just outside the town limits of Collbran, Colorado, approximately 40 miles east of Grand Junction in the Plateau Valley. With easy, year-round access, this gently sloping and buildable vacant land features irrigated pasture and expansive views of Grand Mesa and Battlement Mesa, both rising above 10,000 feet.
Zoned AFT (Agricultural, Forestry, and Transition), this property offers flexibility for buyers looking to build a home, invest in land, or pursue small-scale development. If so desired, petitioned annexation into the Town of Collbran could further expand development options, subject to town board approval.
This Mesa County property includes 0.05 CFS of irrigation water rights from the Muse Enlargement of the Fitzpatrick Ditch, sourced from Grove Creek. A paid municipal water tap through the Town of Collbran helps to reduce development costs.
Electric power is available nearby through Grand Valley Power, and a natural gas line runs through the property, offering potential for connection—making this an attractive option for buyers searching for buildable land with utilities near Grand Junction.
The parcel is located just minutes from Plateau Valley School (K–12), which features a brand-new, state-of-the-art campus, and essential services in Collbran, Colorado, including grocery stores, dining, hardware store, parks, a medical clinic, and a public library. The nearby town of Mesa, Colorado, offers additional amenities such as restaurants, a post office, a local market, an RV park with cabin rentals, and a community center hosting seasonal events.
This location provides the balance many buyers seek: rural acreage with access to town utilities and services.
Outdoor recreation is a major highlight of this Western Colorado land offering. Powderhorn Mountain Resort, located approximately 20 miles away, provides skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and hiking. Grand Mesa, the world’s largest flat-topped mountain, offers over 300 lakes, camping, fishing, and year-round recreation.
Vega State Park, Colorado National Monument, and extensive off-road and trail systems are all within driving distance.
Grand Junction Regional Airport is approximately 45 minutes away, providing regional and national access. The area offers comprehensive healthcare through St. Mary’s Medical Center and Community Hospital, and higher education at Colorado Mesa University.
This property is well-positioned for buyers searching for rural land near Grand Junction, irrigated acreage in Mesa County, or Western Colorado investment land.
