This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers over 1,700 sq ft of inviting living space on .67 unrestricted acres, with no covenants, no HOA, and endless potential.

Outside, a large stone patio sits beside the river, ideal for summer barbecues, evening stargazing, or simply soaking in the sounds of nature. A generous parking lot accommodates guests or RVs, and included building plans open the door to future expansion. Whether you’re looking for a personal retreat, income-producing property, or both—Cuchara River Retreat offers unmatched beauty, freedom, and opportunity in the heart of southern Colorado.

Here is recent review of the property as a rental by Cameron : Second stay. This is a magical place. Get away from the grind. River works wonders on the soul. Open the windows at night and sleep 8-9 hours. Room enough for two couples with kids. Everyone pretty much gathered in the kitchen and outdoor patio. Caught fish within minutes of arriving. Special place. We will be back to this property on an annual basis. Salud!
