Loma and Mack sit west of Fruita along I-70, heading toward the Utah border. This is rural western Colorado — wide open land, big skies, and the kind of quiet that’s hard to find anywhere closer to town.
For the right person, that’s exactly the point. If you want acreage, space, and proximity to some of the most remote canyon country in the region, Loma and Mack deliver. McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area is right outside your door. Utah — and by extension Moab — is about 90 minutes west. Fruita is close enough to make quick runs for coffee or groceries without a production.
It’s not for everyone. There aren’t restaurants or shops in walking distance, and you’ll be driving to Fruita or GJ for most daily needs. But remote workers who’ve freed themselves from a commute and want land, privacy, and serious outdoor access have been finding Loma and Mack for that reason. It’s a tradeoff that suits a specific kind of person very well.
One thing worth knowing about the price data: the median here sits at $649,000, the highest of any neighborhood in the valley — but that number is skewed by large rural parcels with significant acreage. Multi-acre properties and working land drive the median up in ways that don’t reflect what a typical residential buyer will encounter. If you’re looking for a modest home in a rural setting, you’ll find options well below that figure; just expect a wide range, with the high end pulled up by land-heavy sales.
