Property Description
Welcome to your private slice of Colorado country living. This 3 bed, 2 bath home plus office (or potential 4th bedroom) sits on 9 acres with approximately 400 feet of private Arkansas River frontage—an increasingly rare opportunity to own land, water, and freedom in one remarkable property. Designed for both comfort and functionality, the home features an updated kitchen and refreshed bathrooms, complemented by durable tile flooring throughout. Large windows invite in natural light and frame peaceful views of open pasture, the flowing river, and the stunning Sangre de Cristo Mountains beyond. Public BLM and National Forest lands are less than a mile away, offering additional river access, extensive trail systems, jeep roads, and vast acreage for hiking, hunting, and outdoor recreation. Enjoy wide-open views in every direction. The property is free of HOA, covenants, and conservation easements. The land is ideally suited for a true farm-and-ranch lifestyle, with ample space for horses, cows, chickens, and other farm animals. A detached 3-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, equipment, and storage, along with dedicated RV parking. A charming old log cabin currently used as a storage shed could easily be converted into a bunkhouse. Whether you’re riding, fishing from your own riverbank, or watching livestock graze at sunset, this property offers a rare blend of productivity and peace. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Salida and 45 minutes from Cañon City, this property is ideal as a full-time residence, hobby farm, or recreational retreat—where river frontage, mountain views, and Western living come together.
