Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the open and inviting living spaces are filled with natural light. Outside, the expansive hillside deck is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, evening sunsets, wildlife viewing, and spectacular scenery.
A private water well provides a reliable water source, while the detached two-car garage offers ample room for vehicles, outdoor equipment, and storage.
With Salida, Cañon City, and Florence all nearby, you'll enjoy mountain living with convenient access to employment, shopping, healthcare, and recreation. Outdoor recreation is just minutes away, including world-class rafting and Gold Medal fishing on the Arkansas River, skiing and snowboarding at Monarch Mountain, and relaxing soaks at Mount Princeton Hot Springs.
