Single Family Residence In Salida

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an exceptional riverfront property along the South Arkansas River in beautiful Salida, Colorado. This remarkable setting offers breathtaking views, the soothing sounds of the river, and a location that is truly irreplaceable. Directly across the river is a State-designated fishing area, helping preserve the natural scenery and preventing future residential development on the opposite bank, allowing you to enjoy protected views and an unparalleled sense of privacy. The home does require updating and repairs, but it presents endless possibilities to remodel, expand, or create the custom riverfront retreat you’ve always envisioned. Beyond the property, Salida is one of Colorado’s premier year-round recreation destinations. Enjoy world-class whitewater rafting and kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, ATV trails, camping, snowmobiling, and nearby skiing at Monarch Mountain. Downtown Salida is celebrated for its vibrant arts district, locally owned shops, galleries, breweries, restaurants, live music, and year-round festivals, creating the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and small-town charm. Properties offering this combination of river frontage, protected views, recreation, and unlimited potential rarely become available. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a seasonal getaway, or a family retreat to cherish for generations, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Salida’s truly special riverfront properties. Bring your vision and create a legacy that your family will treasure for years to come. Recent improvements include a newer well and well pump (producing an impressive 20 GPM), and newer tankless water heater. The main level features in-floor radiant heat and electric baseboard upstairs, while the primary suite offers a cozy gas fireplace. Enjoy soaring 16-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms, an oversized 2-car garage, and a charming log cabin for additional storage. Your river retreat awaits!!
