Mountain Living with Income Potential and a Dream Workshop on 3.18 Acres.

Wake up to sweeping mountain views, care for your horses in a functional stall system, and have all the shop space you need for business or play. This 3.18-acre property in Chaffee County delivers space, versatility, and opportunity just minutes from Salida.

The main home, built in 2001, is a comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bath modular with an open floor plan filled with natural light. Large windows and a wood stove create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the covered porch is perfect for year-round Colorado sunsets.

Adding to the appeal is a second residence with history and character. Originally a 1950 schoolhouse, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin can generate rental income, serve as guest quarters, or be converted into office space for a live/work setup.

For anyone who needs serious workspace, the 2,400 square foot heated shop is a standout. Designed with 16-foot sidewalls, a 14-foot tall by 12-foot wide overhead door, and a 15,000 lb lift, it is ready for big projects. A loft with office and storage, a sliding-door storage room, and attached hay and equipment storage add to its function. This is a shop built for mechanics, fabricators, or anyone who needs professional-grade space.

Horse owners will appreciate the five partially covered stalls, each designed with a Ritchie auto-watering system for reliable, low-maintenance care.

The property’s RR zoning provides flexibility, whether you want a private residence with room for animals, a multi-generational setup with two homes, or a base for a business with income potential, subject to county approval. All of it is set against the backdrop of mountain peaks and open skies.

Properties that combine this much utility with close-to-town convenience are rare in Chaffee County. This one is ready for the next owner who wants to live, work, and thrive in Colorado’s mountains.
