Grand Junction Home with Mount Garfield and Grand Mesa Views

If you are looking for a home with views, look no further. This ranch style (all on one level) home backs to Matchett Park, helping preserve the view corridor and providing access to trails and outdoor recreation literally out your back door. 

Located right next to the new Grand Junction Recreation Center (to be completed end of 2026), this area is getting a big makeover. Check out The Matchett Park Master Plan 2014 to see a detailed layout of the vision of the park. 

Home Features and Layout

If Goldilocks were buying a home, this would be the one. Just over 2,000 square feet, 3 beds, 2 baths, all on one level, and a solid balance of updates.

Kitchen: Ample granite counter space, soft-close cabinets, and newer stainless steel appliances. Formal and informal dining areas, plus a pantry.

Primary Suite: Five-piece bathroom with a soaker tub and a low-step shower. Extra large windows in the primary bedroom bring in natural light and frame the views of Mount Garfield and the Grand Mesa.

Laundry Room: Designed as a mudroom with a sink, upper cabinets, and a hanging bar for clothing.

Parking and Storage: 3-car garage with plenty of room for vehicles and storage, plus an additional shed.

Outdoor Living and Landscaping

The covered back patio is positioned to take in the views. It includes two ceiling fans and provides a comfortable space to sit outside and watch the sunsets.

The landscaping is established and well maintained, adding to the overall appeal of the property. They have all been trimmed up and are ready to burst with color right around the time you move in. 

Direct views of Mount Garfield and the Grand Mesa, combined with open space behind the home, make the outdoor setting a defining feature. 

True Million Dollar Views 

If you haven’t seen a Western Colorado sunset facing east, you’re missing half the magic, because the way it glows on Mount Garfield and the Grand Mesa is honestly hard to put into words. As the sun drops behind you, the light hits Mount Garfield and it starts to shift into a deep rich glow that makes the cliffs stand out in a completely different way.

It’s calm, it’s quiet, and it doesn’t last long. It’s one of those things you don’t fully get until you’re standing there watching it. Even better, sitting on your new patio and winding down after a long day. 

Why This Location Works

Projects like the new Grand Junction Recreation Center and Matchett Park expansion, buyers are drawn to the combination of convenience, lifestyle, and future value this part of Grand Junction offers.
