About This Home

Cuchara River Retreat – One-of-a-Kind Riverfront Getaway with Income Potential. Welcome to Cuchara River Retreat, an extraordinary mountain sanctuary and successful short-term rental generating approximately $35,000 annually. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers over 1,700 sq ft of inviting living space on .67 unrestricted acres, with no covenants, no HOA, and endless potential. What truly sets this property apart is the Cuchara River, which winds through the land, offering multiple access points to your very own waterfront—an incredibly rare feature in Colorado at this price point. Just steps from an ATV/hiking trail and less than a mile from charming Cuchara Village, guests and owners alike can enjoy outdoor adventures, shopping, dining, and the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Inside, the spacious great room centers around a stunning stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxing or entertaining. The commercial-grade kitchen, complete with a walk-in cooler, is perfect for chefs, event hosts, or even a small business venture. Outside, a large stone patio sits beside the river, ideal for summer barbecues, evening stargazing, or simply soaking in the sounds of nature. A generous parking lot accommodates guests or RVs, and included building plans open the door to future expansion. Whether you’re looking for a personal retreat, income-producing property, or both—Cuchara River Retreat offers unmatched beauty, freedom, and opportunity in the heart of southern Colorado.

Here is recent review of the property as a rental by Cameron : "Second stay. This is a magical place. Get away from the grind. River works wonders on the soul. Open the windows at night and sleep 8-9 hours. Room enough for two couples with kids. Everyone pretty much gathered in the kitchen and outdoor patio. Caught fish within minutes of arriving. Special place. We will be back to this property on an annual basis. Salud!"
