Loma and Mack have consistently become a Western Slope favorite place to buy a home. Is it the open range? Maybe the Ruby-Horsethief Canyon recreation? Maybe the mountain vistas and starry night? Actually all of these and more! The people moving to the area are looking for a nice home on a small or large parcel of land that they can have horses or other animals. Buyers want a country lifestyle, away from noise, neighbors and traffic.
There are no big subdivisions coming to the area, no big commercial projects and definitely no utility infrastructure is planned . Because the tiny Mack sewer system is not accepting new taps and there is no sewer system in Loma. Most available tracts of land or properties for sale come with acreage.
