Property Description

River Place Retreat is a rare, fully furnished riverfront property set along the Arkansas River in Howard, just downriver from Salida. With over 250 feet of private frontage, it offers direct access to Gold Medal fly fishing and renowned rafting, creating an exceptional setting that is increasingly hard to find.

Designed for flexibility, the property includes five villas accommodating up to 32 guests, making it well-suited for a variety of uses—whether as a private family compound, a legacy retreat, or an income-producing property with strong short-term rental potential. An owner can comfortably live onsite while maintaining privacy and utilizing the remaining units as desired.

The setting is the true highlight—peaceful, scenic, and grounded in nature, with the sound of the river, expansive mountain views, and easy access to nearby Salida. Each unit is fully furnished with kitchens, linens, and essentials, allowing for immediate enjoyment or a seamless transition for future use.

A central Gathering Room with bar seating, bathroom, and streaming TV creates a natural space for groups, retreats, or shared experiences. Additional features include a shared laundry room, owner’s lock-off storage, a children’s playhouse with electricity, and a large heated metal barn/workshop offering ample space for equipment, storage, or future possibilities.

River Place Retreat is a unique opportunity to own a meaningful stretch of Colorado riverfront—ideal for those seeking a property that blends lifestyle, flexibility, and long-term legacy.
