About This Home

Mountain Retreat – Home on 70 Acres Surrounded by National Forest. Family compound, hunter’s retreat, artist’s getaway, mechanic’s haven, or secluded meditation spot—this one-of-a-kind property offers endless possibilities, just 30 minutes from downtown Salida. Accessed via a forest service road, the 70-acre parcel is private, bordered by National Forest and BLM land. Live comfortably off-grid with an extensive solar system, generator, propane, well and spring water rights —all designed to power the home, workshop, and more without relying on the grid. The property features a historic log cabin that blends rustic charm with modern upgrades, including expansive decks to take in the stunning 360-degree views. A 1,760 sq ft steel building (built in 2019) serves as a fully-equipped workshop with power, heat, water, and a car lift—ideal for mechanics or hobbyists. Adding to the property's character is a vintage 1,872 sq ft Kentucky barn, along with a greenhouse, carport, and utility shed for additional flexibility. A spring-fed water right provides irrigation potential. Whether you plan to build an additional residence or simply enjoy the untouched landscape, this off-grid sanctuary offers rare versatility of modern conveniences with thousands of acres national forest out your door step. Schedule a private tour and discover the peace, beauty of the surrounding nature, and the future possibilities of this extraordinary retreat.
