Wildlife is abundant with frequent sightings of bighorn sheep and other animals roaming the cliffsides. Beautifully landscaped grounds feature horseshoe pits, ample parking, and endless outdoor gathering spaces. The property includes multiple garages, including a detached 650-square-foot garage, a partially insulated 3-car garage with electricity, a single-bay dirt-floor garage attached to the home, and RV parking with electric hookup. Situated on approximately 1.5 acres along the river plus an additional 4-acre parcel across the highway, this is a rare opportunity for those seeking privacy, recreation, stunning scenery, and Colorado mountain living. Fish, raft, hike, climb, relax, or simply soak in the incredible setting!
