LARGE HOUSE - Perfect for groups! In the middle of WINE COUNTRY - WALK TO TOWN!

Full of art, plants, and life, this classic 115 year old farmhouse was moved to the current location in 2007, on its 100 year anniversary, from eight miles away. Originally located on a one hundred acre pear orchard, it now sits surrounded by the magnificent Palisade area views of the Grand Mesa and the Bookcliffs, with peach orchards and a vineyard immediately surrounding it. Fully updated with 3350 square feet, three roomy bathrooms, two with claw foot tubs, a large social kitchen and great room, another living area, a formal dining room, and a large comfortably furnished wrap around porch, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. There are many board games, puzzles, and cable TV and WiFi for down time. All of the bedrooms have new mattresses, and the house is well insulated, with Central AC, and at a distance from the train so you will sleep soundly and comfortably. One bedroom on main floor with a queen size bed and 3/4 bath en suite; two bedrooms upstairs with queen size beds each; one bedroom upstairs with two full size beds, and a full five piece bath including claw foot tub for these rooms; also upstairs a master suite with a king size bed, plenty of floor space for additional blow up mattresses if needed, and a full five piece bath en suite including a claw foot tub. Located on a half acre, fully landscaped lot, with a vegetable garden in back and a large, ever changing, perennial garden in front. The Fabulous Farmhouse is located on one of the routes of the Fruit and Wine Byway, a local system of routes designed to let you bicycle (or drive) to the area Wineries and Fruit Stands to enjoy all our agricultural area has to offer. Also, it is two miles from the terminus of the Palisade Plunge, an epic 32 mile singletrack bike route that descends over 6000’ from the top of the Grand Mesa into Palisade. The house is walking distance from downtown Palisade, and we are very close to the Colorado River and the recreational opportunities it provides. In fact, you can see the high water from the porch in June! We sit about halfway along the popular “Town Float”, a fun two mile river float on paddle boards, kayaks, or “duckies”, that is a staple of summer enjoyment. There are several trailheads for moderately challenging and very scenic hikes in the immediate vicinity, including the Palisade Rim Trail with ancient native people’s petroglyphs along it. The house is a fifteen minute walk from Riverbend Park for music festivals, the Palisade Peach Fest, and the famous Colorado Mountain Wine Fest, as well as disc golf and other outdoor recreation. This is a lovely, rural, and mainly flat area that is superb for bicycles, and there are rentals available from the bike shop in town. Rapid Creek Cycles also rents river equipment like SUPs and kayaks, as well as gives lessons. When you take that short drive, bike ride, or nice walk into Palisade, you will find restaurants, a brewery and a distillery, and Colorado Weedery, which is a retail cannabis store. Also a well stocked grocery store, gas and convenience stores, hardware store, liquor store, as well as art galleries and wineries. Enjoy ALL that Colorado has to offer from this location! The Colorado National Monument is located in nearby Grand Junction. We are a one and a half hour drive to Moab, Utah’s red rock country and Arches National Park; one and a half hour drive from Ouray, Colorado, the “Switzerland of America”; and a forty min drive to the top of the Grand Mesa, with over two hundred lakes, plus Powderhorn Mountain Resort. Guests have full use of the house and property, excluding two locked closets upstairs containing the owners’ personal property.
