About This Home

Quaint and cozy log cabin set along the banks of the Arkansas River in Cotopaxi, Colorado, a true Colorado paradise where adventure and serenity meet. With approximately 267 feet of private river frontage, this rare offering invites you to raft directly from your backyard, cast a line for Gold Medal trout fishing, or relax on your own private river beach. Step outside and you’re instantly transported, whether it’s enjoying a quiet morning in the hammock with a book, watching a family of ducks drift by, or spotting bighorn sheep grazing on the cliffs above the property. In the winter months, witness mule deer frequent the land and bald eagles soaring along the river, all while benefiting from Cotopaxi’s unique “banana belt” climate offering milder winters. The well-maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath log cabin is designed for easy living, featuring an updated kitchen, central A/C for summer comfort, low utility costs, and a brand new roof (March 2026). This home was built for you to spend time enjoying the outdoors. The property includes approximately 267 feet of river frontage, a rare find! Plenty of parking makes it easy to host guests for weekends filled with rafting, fishing, and exploring. Ideally located along the Hwy 50 corridor, with a beautiful 25 minute drive to Salida, 35 minutes to Cañon City, or 30 minutes to Westcliffe, while being just minutes from world-class recreation in Bighorn Sheep Canyon. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, an adventure basecamp, or a one-of-a-kind riverfront getaway—this property delivers an unmatched Colorado lifestyle.
