Front row seats to the Continental Divide and its towering 14,000 foot peaks, usable acreage, and true single level living minutes from downtown Buena Vista. Set on 10.62 gently rolling, tree dotted acres along the Cottonwood Pass corridor, this well cared for ranch home offers 1,956 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an easy, open flow between kitchen, dining, and living areas. A separate family room and a dedicated office add flexible space for gathering, guests, or working from home, all with spectacular mountain views. A wood stove keeps things cozy through mountain winters while big windows frame Mt. Princeton and a skyline of snowcapped fourteeners. Two covered decks totaling over 540 square feet invite morning coffee with sunrise light and evening meals under legendary Colorado sunsets. The attached garage, oversized 528 square foot carport, and open parking handle vehicles, trailers, and toys, and with no HOA and no covenants there is room to add the shop, garden, or animal setup you have been dreaming about. Built in 2001 and lovingly maintained, the home sits well off the county road for genuine quiet, served by its own well and septic. A durable metal roof, forced air heat, and a no stairs layout make it easy to own year round or lock and leave. Seller financing is available, a rare chance to skip the bank and buy on flexible terms. The location is the real prize: 4 miles to Buena Vista's shops, restaurants, and whitewater park, minutes to Cottonwood Lake, the hot springs, and endless San Isabel National Forest trails, plus Gold Medal fishing on the Arkansas River. Wildlife wanders through daily, the night skies are unforgettable, and the privacy is real, yet town is a 7 minute drive. Whether you are after a full time residence, a mountain getaway, or a smart hold, unrestricted 10 plus acre parcels with views like these rarely come available this close to town. Come walk the land and see why the Upper Arkansas Valley keeps calling people home.
