Property Description
A rare opportunity in the heart of Palisade—this home offers the flexibility to be a turn-key short-term rental, a dream primary residence, or the perfect vacation home you can also rent when you’re away. Currently operating as the established VRBO “The Palisade Backyard,” the home is thoughtfully configured to sleep up to 13 guests, with five bedrooms and additional finished spaces downstairs that work beautifully as a den, game room, or office if transitioning to personal use. Even better, this property is located in unincorporated Mesa County, meaning short-term rentals are allowed and transferable—no Palisade waitlist—making this a truly special and increasingly rare find. This 1907 Palisade charmer has been lovingly cared for over the years and blends historic character with playful personality. The home features four bathrooms—two upstairs, a 3/4 bath downstairs, and a powder bath—all delightfully retro and full of character, ready to be embraced as-is or thoughtfully reimagined. Multiple living spaces provide room to gather and unwind, including two dedicated living areas plus an additional space that easily doubles as a sunroom or game room. Outside, enjoy a welcoming covered front patio, a private backyard with multiple patio areas, space for yard games, relaxing evenings in the hot tub, and beautiful views of Mount Garfield. Mature fruit trees and vineyard views from the upper patio complete the setting. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage, large RV parking area, and a storage shed featuring a bright mural that adds a cheerful, artistic touch to the backyard. A new HVAC system has also been installed, providing added comfort and peace of mind. The home can be offered fully furnished, with 2026 rental bookings transferring for those who wish to continue operating The Palisade Backyard as a short-term rental. Located just steps from the Palisade Pour House and offering easy access to wineries, dining, and everything Palisade has to offer, this property is a rare blend of location, lifestyle, and opportunity. Whether you’re seeking your next business venture, a full-time residence, or a vacation home with income potential—this Palisade property truly delivers.
