Chipeta Hollows

Independent Assessment

Consistent confirmation across the builder's own materials (BOA Builders and Epcon Communities), local press coverage, and multiple independent real-estate/MLS listings shows that Chipeta Hollows is marketed and sold as a 55-and-older community for active adults, not merely a retiree-oriented community without a formal age qualification. However, Epcon Communities as a national brand was also found not to apply age restriction uniformly across all of its neighborhoods — some Epcon communities are age-targeted only, without a formal 55+ deed restriction — and Chipeta Hollows' own recorded covenant language, exact HOPA percentage structure, and age-verification procedure were not located or independently reviewed. Given the consistent, repeated '55 and older'/'55+' framing from the builder's own site, the local newspaper, and multiple MLS-level listing descriptions, and no contrary evidence found, Chipeta Hollows is treated as age-restricted, while its exact recorded restriction should still be confirmed directly with BOA Builders or the community's HOA before purchasing, especially given the community's newly established status.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want Grand Junction's first newly built, amenity-rich 55+ community — with a build-to-suit process, a resort-style clubhouse plan (pool, pickleball, golf simulator, fitness center), and an all-electric, low-maintenance ranch-home design — are the strongest fit for Chipeta Hollows. Its Orchard Mesa location near the Chipeta Golf Course also suits buyers who want new construction with a builder warranty rather than an older resale community.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Chipeta Hollows is built by BOA Builders as an Epcon Communities-licensed neighborhood, with groundbreaking in June 2025 on a planned 88-homesite subdivision in Orchard Mesa, just east of the Chipeta Golf Course in Grand Junction. Homes are new-construction, single-level, ranch-style, all-electric designs with open floor plans, centrally located kitchens, and private garden courtyards, ranging from roughly 1,336 to 4,076 square feet across multiple floor plans (including models such as the Gladstone, Palazzo, Promenade, and Portico). As of the most recent review, the community is actively under construction and selling both build-to-suit and quick-move-in homes.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

New-construction homes at Chipeta Hollows are reported to start from the $450,000s, with specific MLS-listed homes ranging roughly from the high $450,000s to over $820,000 depending on floor plan, lot, and finish selections, for homes generally between about 1,400 and 2,840 square feet as listed. This positions Chipeta Hollows well above older resale 55+ inventory in the Grand Valley, reflecting its status as new, amenity-rich construction. Buyers should confirm current base pricing and available lots directly with an Epcon Sales Consultant or BOA Builders, as pricing is subject to change during an active build-out.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

Chipeta Hollows is an active new-construction community, having broken ground in June 2025, with both build-to-suit and quick-move-in homes reported as available. Buyers should confirm current construction timelines, the completion status of the planned clubhouse and pool, and standard builder-warranty terms directly with BOA Builders or an Epcon Sales Consultant. As the community is not yet fully built out, resale inventory is expected to be limited for some time.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes in Chipeta Hollows are subject to Mesa County property tax at the county's current mill levy, along with any applicable City of Grand Junction municipal charges. Colorado offers a Senior Property Tax Exemption for qualifying long-term homeowners age 65 and older, a state-level benefit separate from this community's 55+ HOA eligibility threshold. Buyers should confirm the current mill levy and senior exemption eligibility directly with the Mesa County Assessor's Office.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Chipeta Hollows is designed around a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle, with single-level, all-electric ranch homes and a planned resort-style clubhouse anchoring the community's social and recreational programming. As a newly built community, its full lifestyle and activities program is still developing alongside construction; buyers should ask BOA Builders or Epcon Communities about the current state of resident programming and clubhouse completion.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

Chipeta Hollows is located in the Orchard Mesa area of Grand Junction, Colorado, just east of the Chipeta Golf Course, in the 81503 zip code. The location offers proximity to the golf course and Orchard Mesa's residential surroundings, with access to Grand Junction's broader shopping, health care, and dining options a short drive away.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

Chipeta Hollows is consistently marketed by its builder (BOA Builders, via Epcon Communities) and described in local press and multiple independent MLS/real-estate listings as a 55-and-older community, with listings describing homes as 'designed for active adults 55 and older.' The community's recorded covenant document, exact HOPA-compliant percentage structure, and age-verification procedure were not independently reviewed, and Epcon Communities as a national builder does not apply a formal 55+ deed restriction uniformly across all of its neighborhoods. Buyers should confirm the exact recorded age-restriction language and verification process directly with BOA Builders or the community's HOA before purchasing.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Because Chipeta Hollows broke ground only in June 2025, buyers should expect an active construction environment for some time as the community builds toward its planned 88 homes, and should confirm the current completion status of the clubhouse and other amenities before relying on them. The community's exact recorded age-restriction language, current HOA fee, and specific unit-percentage exception structure could not be confirmed; buyers should request this documentation directly from BOA Builders or Epcon Communities. As a build-to-suit new-construction community, pricing starts from the $450,000s and rises with floor plan and lot selection, positioning it at a premium relative to older resale 55+ inventory in the Grand Valley.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within the Western Slope's small cluster of 55+ communities, Chipeta Hollows is the newest and most amenity-ambitious, offering a purpose-built clubhouse, pool, and pickleball court that the area's older, smaller communities — Corona Del Rey (El Corona) in Grand Junction and the larger, more established Village at Country Creek in Fruita — do not have in comparable new-construction form. Buyers who want brand-new construction with a builder warranty and resort-style amenities should focus on Chipeta Hollows, while buyers who want a deeper, already-established resale market should look toward Village at Country Creek.
