Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the open and inviting living spaces are filled with natural light. Outside, the expansive hillside deck is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, wildlife viewing, and spectacular scenery.

A private water well provides a reliable water source, while the detached two-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, outdoor equipment, and storage.

Located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Salida, you'll enjoy easy access to historic downtown Salida, art galleries, boutique shopping, exceptional dining, world-class rafting and fishing on the Gold Medal waters of the Arkansas River, skiing and snowboarding at Monarch Mountain, and relaxing soaks at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort.

Combining generous living space, exceptional outdoor living areas, and access to some of Colorado's most sought-after recreation, this remarkable property offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and adventure.
