Experience refined mountain living in this elegant single-level custom home, ideally located just minutes from downtown Salida. Showcasing distinctive Southwestern architecture, this residence captures breathtaking 360-degree mountain views from nearly every window and French door-creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and Colorado's natural beauty. Set on a 2.88-acre, peaceful and private parcel, the property offers an exceptional sense of space and serenity. From the west side of the home and expansive patio, enjoy unobstructed views of majestic Mt. Shavano-an ever-changing backdrop that defines the Salida lifestyle. The thoughtfully designed open-concept floor plan provides both flow and privacy, with bedroom wings on either side of the home and a spacious, double-door office, perfectly positioned for productivity or a quiet retreat. The primary suite is generously sized, featuring a luxurious five-piece bath and walk-in closet. Comfort meets craftsmanship throughout, with in-floor radiant heat warming rich rustic wood floors and stained concrete surfaces. Artistic architectural details elevate the home, including a striking 15-foot Spanish-style boveda ceiling at the entry, exposed wood beams, and hand-selected Talavera tile accents. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with low-maintenance, fully enclosed front and back yards designed in classic Southwestern style-complete with stucco walls, wood gates, slate patios, mature perennials, and a newer hot tub for year-round enjoyment. The property is supported by approximately 500 feet of irrigation lines, and a charming casita offers flexible space for potting, hobbies, or additional storage. A spacious three-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, gear, and all the essentials for mountain living. If you've been searching for a home that blends architectural character, privacy, and proximity to Salida's vibrant downtown, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly special Colorado retreat.
