About This Home

This 4,088 square foot log home offers true Colorado living on 1.64 level acres in the quiet Acres of Ireland neighborhood. With no HOA or covenants, the property delivers privacy, space, and flexibility just 15 minutes from Salida.

Built in 1982, the home blends classic log character with thoughtful updates and a layout designed for both everyday living and hosting. The main level features two bedrooms and two baths, including a spacious primary suite. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, creating a warm mountain lodge feel. A well-appointed kitchen with wood cabinetry and adjoining dining area keeps the floor plan functional and inviting.

A standout feature is the additional living space on the main floor. Complete with its own kitchen, bath, and private entry separated by a large laundry room, it works well as an in-law suite, guest quarters, or private retreat. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a full bath, as well as a studio also provide comfortable accommodations for family or visitors.

Lifestyle amenities include a wood stove, a built-in sauna, and large windows that frame mountain views. Flooring throughout is a mix of wood, tile, and carpet, offering durability with rustic warmth. The 1.64-acre lot is open and usable with partial fencing, mature trees, and room to add a garage or shop. A private well and septic system are in place, keeping utilities simple.

The Arkansas River is minutes away for rafting and fishing, and the surrounding public lands provide endless options for hiking, riding, and hunting. Howard offers small-town tranquility while Salida’s restaurants, shops, and services are a short drive down the highway.

Large log homes of this size and setting rarely become available in the valley. This property is ideal for buyers seeking space, flexibility, and a genuine mountain lifestyle close to town. Schedule your showing and see the possibilities for yourself.
