7550 W US Highway 50 | Salida, CO: Residential, Commercial, or Live-Work
This 1,215 sq ft ranch-style home sits on a quarter-acre lot with direct US Highway 50 frontage just west of Salida, one of the most traveled corridors in the Rockies. This property is equally suited as a primary residence, a commercial or professional office, or a live-work combination. The enclosed front porch would make the perfect reception area. This property also sits outside both the 100- and 500-year floodplains, an important insurance fact!
Inside, original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a three-sided sun room reflect the home’s early 1900s character. The floor plan includes a primary suite with walk-in closet, bath, additional room, mud room, laundry, kitchen with island and pantry, and a wood-burning stove. An oversized carport and mature-tree-lined lot complete the property.
Highway 50 frontage delivers daily traffic visibility most business operators pay a premium for. The dedicated office and sun room support clean separation between living and working spaces or full commercial conversion.

Highway 50 connects Salida to Monarch Pass, Gunnison, Pueblo, and Cañon City, putting this property directly in the path of that traffic every day. This property is Flexible. Visible. One of the few true live-work opportunities on the Highway 50 corridor and all for under 400k.
