About This Home

As of May 2025

18.5-Acre Horse Property with Home, Large Garage, 2,400 Sq. Ft. Barn/Workshop & More! This rural property, ideally located between Salida and Buena Vista, offers privacy, space, and endless potential. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is a true 1980s time capsule, featuring an avocado green stove, retro wallpaper, wood-burning fireplaces, and an expansive deck with breathtaking views. Whether you embrace its vintage charm or choose to remodel, this home provides a solid foundation for your vision. The property is well-equipped for various uses, including a large detached garage with a loft, a 2,400 sq. ft. metal barn/workshop, a loafing shed with a fenced corral, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop. With NO HOA and no close neighbors, there’s ample space for horses, livestock, 4-H projects, a rural retreat, or a home-based business. Zoned under Chaffee County’s new rural residential code, the property may allow for subdivision (buyer to verify). Secluded yet easily accessible year-round, this is a rare opportunity to own a spacious and versatile piece of the Arkansas River Valley. Just minutes from skiing, mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, and fishing, you can fully enjoy everything this incredible area has to offer!
