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. Combining generous living space, exceptional outdoor living areas, and access to some of Colorado's most sought-after recreation, this remarkable property offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and adventure.
