Properties like this are exceptionally rare. Set on 2.28 acres, this extraordinary property extends to the centerline of the South Arkansas River, offering privacy, natural beauty, and tranquility rarely found within town limits. Towering cottonwoods, a peaceful pond, open meadow, abundant wildlife, and private South Arkansas River frontage create a setting that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from downtown Salida. With no HOA, no covenants, natural gas, public sewer, a private well, this is a truly uncommon opportunity. The 2,514 square foot home offers a spacious floor plan with multiple living areas, large windows, and abundant natural light. The kitchen features an island with gas cooktop, double ovens, skylights, and generous cabinetry, while the living room, lower level family room, dedicated office, and sunroom provide excellent spaces for everyday living. Upstairs, the private primary suite includes a walk in closet, ensuite bath, and balcony overlooking the meadow and river corridor. The generous layout offers outstanding potential while preserving the property's remarkable setting. The setting is what truly sets this property apart. Stroll beneath mature cottonwoods, relax beside the pond, cast a line into your privately owned stretch of the South Arkansas River, or simply enjoy the peaceful sounds of the river and abundant wildlife. A heated three car detached garage offers plenty of room for vehicles and projects, while the rustic cabin with electricity and a wood stove makes an ideal studio, hobby room, guest retreat, or quiet getaway. Legacy properties like this rarely become available. Combining 2.28 acres of riverfront property, ownership to the centerline of the South Arkansas River, in town utilities, remarkable privacy, and unlimited potential, this is a once in a generation opportunity to create an extraordinary Colorado retreat.
