This is a very rare opportunity to build a custom home on acreage this close to town! Uniquely situated 2.4 acres of beautiful, treed, south-facing ridgeline with stunning views of the Sawatch Range, Sangre de Cristos, and the Upper Arkansas Valley. This secluded and private lot borders BLM land with easy access to Salida's hiking and mountain biking trails including North Backbone and Cottonwood. A graded driveway goes all the way to the build site, power and phone are in place, the well has been dug, and soil engineering for the septic is complete. The well has an Augmentation Certificate allowing for 1400 square feet of lawn and garden. It's a short 2.5 miles (<5 minutes) to downtown by road, or 3.5 miles by trail (N. Backbone to Frontside). This lot comes with approved/permitted plans for a 3,200 square foot, 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, ultra-high efficiency custom home of steel and glass, complete with outdoor living space, office, gear room, secret garden, and a 1,250 square foot shop/studio. Or build your own dream home on one of the last south-facing, treed lots in Salida. Contact your broker for more information or to tour this one-of-a-kind property, and imagine the possibilities! *NOTE* This portion of Ute Trail is NOT a seasonal road; it is a paved road up to this point and is open year round.
