Property Description

Extraordinary Arkansas River estate offering a rare combination of privacy on 7.44 acres, 280 +/- feet of river frontage, views of the Collegiate Peaks, less than 5 miles from downtown Salida, and direct access to one of Colorado's most sought-after recreational corridors. The 3,300-square-foot custom home built in 2020 blends modern efficiency with timeless mountain living. Thoughtfully positioned living spaces maximize comfort while framing spectacular views of the river and surrounding peaks. Custom woodwork, expansive windows, and open living spaces create a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with natural light and stunning river and mountain views. The chef's kitchen features quartzite countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, and a butcher block baking station. The dining & kitchen area flows into the great room, which features a stunning stone fireplace and views of the Arkansas River. The home offers three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and two spacious offices/flex rooms, including a main-level primary suite with river views, an ensuite bath, and an oversized walk-in closet. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A covered concrete patio overlooks the meadow, a lower patio offers river views, and beautifully landscaped grounds nourished by a natural spring and drip irrigation. Over 200 trees have been thoughtfully planted throughout the property, along with flower beds, orchard, & fenced raised garden, creating a natural oasis. The lower meadow provides easy access to the Arkansas River for world-class fly fishing & boating. Additional improvements include an oversized two-car garage and a detached 432-square-foot workshop with concrete floors and a wood-burning stove. An adjoining 2-acre parcel preserves the property's breathtaking views while providing the opportunity for a future homesite. The adjacent Colorado Parks and Wildlife fishing easements provide access to over two miles of public fishing along the Arkansas River immediately upstream.
