About This Home

As of April 2026

Leave behind the ordinary and discover a magical, secluded homestead nestled in the heart of the central Rockies, just moments from the charm of Salida. This property is not merely a house, but an invitation to embrace a healthy rural lifestyle on 23.85 enchanting acres. For those who crave more than a home in town, this is an immersive experience where brilliant stars, abundant wildlife, live water, and mature woodlands await. With a large garden and greenhouse, this is a place to cultivate your dreams and create a lifetime of cherished memories.
A 2,400 sq. ft. metal outbuilding provides space for a workshop, storing all your toys, vehicles, or simply extra storage. An additional site (leveled, with water, electricity, and a dedicated septic system) offers the perfect spot for another outbuilding or a convenient RV hookup for guests.
The attached garage houses a wood-burning boiler for emergency heat, while a classic Vermont Castings wood stove in the great room adds warmth and ambiance. Step inside the cozy ranch-style log home, where a vaulted ceiling in the great room creates an open and inviting atmosphere. The primary bedroom has a 3/4 bath and walk-in closet. A guest bedroom on the main floor features a Jack and Jill full bath. A large laundry/mud room transitions from the attached 2-car garage. Downstairs, the fully finished basement has 9-foot ceilings, two additional bedrooms, a versatile bonus room ideal for an office or hobby space, a full bathroom, and a spacious living area.
If your heart is yearning for a harmonious blend of rustic charm, modern preparedness, and a connection to nature, this extraordinary Salida-area property is calling you home. MLS sq. ft. price is incorrect. It adds acreage into sq. ft. price.
