Colorado Dream Home in Salida! This spacious single level home has everything you could want in a Colorado home and is available practically fully furnished! Located on a west facing bluff overlooking the Arkansas River, this peaceful 5-acre property has over 400 feet of river frontage and 360-degree unobstructed mountain views as well as three quarters of a mile deeded private fishing access. The house has been expanded to over 3500 sq. ft. after major remodels in 2017 and 2021 when energy efficiencies were added including solar. Also included was the addition of extensive landscaping and hardscaping, irrigation and a fully fenced yard. The well augmentation allows for the watering of the 3100 sq. ft. of gardens surrounding the home as well as up to two horses. This tranquil property is situated at the end of the road which borders BLM land frequented by deer and antelope, and it's not unusual to spot a bald eagle fishing along the river too. The county-maintained road is paved, and it takes only 10 minutes to reach historic downtown Salida, and 30 to Monarch Mountain Ski Area. Whether you desire Gold Medal Waters fishing, world class paddling, biking, skiing, horseback riding, golfing, wildlife viewing, patronizing the charming boutiques and bistros in Salida, this property provides you with the home base to enjoy it all and from a private secluded setting. Many more photos of this magical property can be found on two virtual tour links attached to this listing.
