Metro Denver Luxury Homes For Sale

Property Description

Unwind in your own piece of paradise – a uniquely beautiful and secluded 23.85-acre oasis nestled in the heart of the central Colorado mountains, just moments from Salida. This stunning property boasts mature woodlands, a charming seasonal pond, and the soothing sound of live water, offering unparalleled privacy and natural beauty. Picture yourself sipping coffee on the front porch, or sharing stories and s’mores around the fire pit on a crisp evening.
This isn’t just a home; it’s a lifestyle. Designed for those seeking security, sustainability, and self-reliance, this property is truly special. Cultivate your green thumb year-round in the four-season greenhouse or in the outdoor garden. 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.
