13101 Highway 285, Salida, CO 81201

Custom Colorado mountain home on 35.64 acres in the heart of the Collegiate Peaks range.  2,805 square feet, 3 full bathrooms, 3 bedrooms plus a large bonus room currently furnished as a replica 1800's saloon.  The open floor plan with a high vaulted ceiling and large windows provides lots of natural light and incredible mountain and valley views in all directions.  Hot water in-floor heat and a large wood burning stove provide comfort and efficiency.  High-end finishes and trim work throughout.  Home is on grid power with a backup generator and the original solar panels and solar system are in place if you wish to connect them for additional backup power or savings.  Outside living space is enormous and inviting with multiple connected terraces offering sitting areas in the sunshine or in the shade of the mature trees.  The pictures don't do justice to the views from this ridge top building site.  You can literally see the entire valley and surrounding mountains from this location and the views are nothing short of breathtaking.  The property is 2.5 miles off of Hwy 285 on a gated road making it very quiet and secluded yet is only 10 miles to Salida or Poncha Springs for groceries, restaurants, medical care, and other amenities.  Access to public lands, the Arkansas River, Monarch Ski Area, Mt Princeton Hot Springs, and hundreds of miles of trails is all within minutes.
