About This Property

Nestled on 35 fully fenced and cross-fenced acres, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of functionality, income potential, and breathtaking natural beauty. Designed with versatility in mind, the land is thoughtfully divided into 12 separate corrals and pastures, making it ideal for equestrian operations or livestock management. The property is currently operating as a successful horse motel and is well-equipped to support a variety of agricultural and business ventures. Improvements include two Quonset huts, one featuring six stables and a tack room, and the other offering additional tack space and storage.

Two wooden barns provide even more stabling, storage, and workspace, complemented by a round pen for training. The main residence boasts 1,712 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a 2-car attached garage. A cozy wood stove in the dining room adds warmth and charm. A separate 650-square-foot 1995 park model trailer with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom provides additional living space for guests, staff, or rental income.

Beyond the structures, the property features orchards and direct access to 2,300+ acres of BLM land which leads to the Arkansas River, perfect for rafting, kayaking, and fishing its renowned waters. Expansive views of the Sawatch Mountain Range create a stunning backdrop to the west. Ideally located less than 30 minutes from Monarch Mountain for skiing and year-round recreation, and just 15 minutes from historic Salida, known for its shopping, restaurants, and vibrant art scene. This property offers both convenience and adventure.

With multiple income opportunities, including equestrian services, wedding and event hosting, billboard advertising, crop production, and grazing leases, this is a truly unique offering for those seeking both lifestyle and investment potential.
