Rarely does a piece of raw land offer this combination of privacy, scenery, and access. This vacant parcel sits directly on the Arkansas River, tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, and holds the distinction of being the northernmost private riverfront lot in the neighborhood. Mature, old-growth trees already on the property add character and shade that many riverfront lots simply do not offer.
Ownership here extends to the center of the Arkansas River, giving you a genuine stake in one of Colorado's premier waterways. The river along this stretch is gold medal water, prized by anglers, and it's equally popular with rafters and kayakers looking to put in nearby. Mt. Princeton Hot Springs is just minutes away for anyone who wants to trade a day on the water for a soak in natural mineral pools with mountain views.
Outdoor access doesn't stop at the river. The surrounding area is well known for good hunting, and several ski resorts are within reach for a day trip, making this a true four-season basecamp rather than a one-activity property.
Buena Vista and Salida are both only a short drive away, offering small-town amenities - local restaurants, shops, and a tight-knit community - without sacrificing the seclusion of this setting.
Whatever you're picturing - a mountain home, a river cabin, or simply holding onto an untouched piece of Colorado - this lot gives you the canvas. A private cul-de-sac location, the northernmost spot on the river in the neighborhood, established trees, direct river frontage, nearby skiing and hunting, and one of the state's most recognizable peaks as your backdrop. Come see it for yourself and imagine what's possible.
