Salida, CO 81201

35+ Acres. Sweeping Views. Priced Below County Valuation. A rare chance to own 35+ private acres, a custom home, and stunning mountain views—at a price well below what similar land and homes are valued at in Chaffee County. Just 10 miles from downtown Salida, this hidden retreat invites you to embrace solitude, and dark skies. With no HOA and modest deed restrictions, you’ll find the freedom to live your mountain dream. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is nestled in the trees with two-story vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, a cozy wood stove, and a custom spiral staircase that adds a touch of whimsy. A southwest-facing sunroom brings in natural light and passive solar warmth. Do you grow your own herbs or vegetables? This is the perfect space for cultivating a year-round indoor garden. The primary bedroom offers panoramic mountain views and includes a walk-in closet. Enjoy a spacious laundry and pantry room, a generous attached garage, a newer roof, and the peace that comes with privacy and nature all around you. This property offers remarkable value. The land alone was recently assessed at over $497,000—yet the entire parcel, including home, is listed below the total 2025 county valuation. When the land holds this much inherent worth, the price deserves a second look. And then there’s Salida CO, a vibrant, artistic, adventure-filled town known for its friendly community and stunning natural surroundings. Spend your weekends floating the Arkansas River, soaking in local natural hot springs, or exploring a web of trails that wind through alpine forests and high-country meadows. With more than a dozen nearby Fourteeners, Monarch Mountain ski area just up the pass, and endless access to hiking, biking, and fishing, outdoor lovers will find endless ways to play. Salida’s historic downtown is alive with galleries, live music, farmers markets, and award-winning restaurants. Be sure & visit the property tour!
