What's special

Lush park-like settingSeasonal ditchExpansive prep spacePrivate primary suiteCozy denMature landscapingLive-edge open shelving

Price reduced! Rarely does an in-town property offer this level of privacy, charm, versatility, and income potential all in one beautifully curated package. Nestled on a lush, park-like setting in the heart of Buena Vista, this highly sought-after property combines classic mountain-town living with exceptional flexibility, just moments from downtown shops, dining, trails, and the Arkansas River. Warm wood flooring, abundant natural light, and designer updates create an inviting atmosphere that feels both refined and comfortable. The stunning kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring leathered granite countertops, live-edge open shelving, custom cabinetry, updated fixtures, expansive prep space, and a generous eat-in dining area ideal for gathering and entertaining. The spacious floor plan offers multiple living spaces, including a welcoming living room, a cozy den, a private primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a full guest bath, and a dedicated laundry area. Every detail has been carefully updated, including new windows, doors, furnace, water heater, ceiling fans, and lighting fixtures, allowing for truly turnkey living. Adding tremendous value and opportunity is the 280-square-foot guest cottage — a private and stylish space currently producing approximately $19,000–$21,000 annually in income. Ideal as a short-term rental or guest retreat, this detached cottage enhances both the lifestyle and investment appeal of the property. A separate detached office space provides even more flexibility for remote work and creative pursuits. Outside, the grounds are equally enchanting. The fenced lot feels like a private oasis with mature landscaping, seasonal ditch, sprinkler system for flowerbeds and gardens, and multiple outdoor living spaces designed to enjoy Colorado’s stunning seasons. Quiet, secluded, and beautifully maintained, this is a rare opportunity to own an income-producing luxury property in one of Buena Vista’s most desirable in-town locations.
