Dave understands the practical side of property ownership — from water and land improvements to access, layout, and usability. His experience with drone documentation, custom mapping, and land surveying education helps you visualize terrain, boundaries, and features that don’t show up on a standard listing sheet.

24 Acres Dividable Into Two Parcels Surrounded By Vineyards and Orchards
$465,000
24.48 Acres
Palisade, Colorado, 81526
Tucked into the landscape of Palisade, this 24.48-acre property is shaped by the steady presence of Sink Creek, which winds through the land and creates natural separation, privacy, and a sense of place. Mature trees, varied topography, and the sound of moving water give the property a calm, grounded feel—one that pairs naturally with Palisade’s summertime rhythm of fresh peaches and farm stands, and the year-round draw of nearby wineries. The result is a setting that feels both rooted in the land and connected to the local lifestyle, well suited for a thoughtfully sited home, a small retreat, or a legacy property that evolves over time.From a practical standpoint, the property benefits from Mesa County AFT zoning, which allows for a wide range of potential uses, including the possibility of subdivision (most likely into two parcels). Two springs on the property are supported by an existing water decree tied to the historic tree farm use. Utilities are available in the area through Xcel Energy and Ute Water, and the seller may consider an owner-carry loan, offering additional flexibility for qualified buyers. Access is by easement on an existing dirt driveway. See map in photos, the yellow line is the approximate easement location. Buyers should independently verify all facts, including zoning, subdivision potential, and permitted uses.
