Located just a few minutes outside of downtown Salida, this 1.2-acre property blends the freedom of mountain acreage with comfortable single-level living. The home has been meticulously cared for by only one owner since it was built in 1998. Inside, the 2,226-square-foot layout feels instantly welcoming, combining the kitchen, dining, and living areas into a bright, open space filled with great natural light. The kitchen features a central island and generous cabinet space, while the front bonus room includes a wood-burning fireplace as a cozy, optional heat source. This flexible area works beautifully as a sunroom or a quiet reading space.

The primary suite offers a private retreat on its own side of the house, complete with a spacious walk-in closet and a full bathroom featuring a separate walk-in shower and walk-in tub setup. Nearby, a dedicated home office with built-in features provides a peaceful workspace.

Step outside onto the 240-square-foot covered wood deck to take in the clear, panoramic views of Mount Shavano, Antero and Princeton. The flat, fully fenced acreage has plenty of room for animals, large gardens, or outdoor activities. To protect your peace and quiet, the neighboring ranchland is secured under a recorded conservation easement, which helps ensure those expansive mountain views remain wide open for years to come.

For hobbies and gear, the property features an amazing detached setup. There is a 1,200-square-foot garage built in 1999 with its own optional heat source, a separate 450-square-foot workshop, and two extra storage sheds. The home is rounded out with efficient forced-air heating, a 60-gallon indirect hot water tank, and on-site propane. Nestled at the end of a long private drive, this property has easy access to Highway 291 giving you a quiet sense of space without sacrificing close proximity to Salida’s local restaurants, art galleries, and the Arkansas River.
