About This Property

Positioned on 7.05 private acres just north of Salida, this distinctive Southwestern style residence captures breathtaking views of the Collegiate Peaks, surrounding mountain ranges, and the wide open Arkansas Valley. Mature pinon and juniper trees and a circular driveway create a peaceful sense of privacy while maintaining year round access.

Offering 3,208 square feet, the home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a thoughtfully designed layout with both main level and walkout lower level living spaces. The lower level provides a large family room and multiple storage and bonus rooms, offering flexibility for guests, hobbies, recreation, or home office use. Warm architectural details include stucco construction, exposed vigas, vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, knotty wood cabinetry, and abundant natural light. The inviting main living area showcases soaring ceilings and an open layout connecting the kitchen and dining spaces. The kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, granite countertops, and beautiful mountain views from multiple windows.

The primary suite enjoys natural light, private deck access, and an ensuite bath. A bright four season sunroom surrounded by windows provides an ideal space for plants, hobbies, a home office, or enjoying the surrounding landscape year round.

Outdoor living is highlighted by expansive mountain views and ample space to enjoy Colorado's outdoor lifestyle. The oversized detached 3 car garage offers approximately 1,200 square feet with power, storage, and room for vehicles, recreational equipment, workshop space, or hobby use. An additional storage shed provides further flexibility.

Centrally located between Salida and Buena Vista, this exceptional property provides convenient access to the best of the Upper Arkansas Valley. World class rafting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, skiing, and public lands are all within easy reach, while the private 7.05 acre setting offers space, scenery, and year round accessibility.
