Build your mountain paradise on this amazing, secluded lot in the heart of Colorado’s playground. 5 minutes to Poncha Springs, 10 minutes to Salida, 15 minutes to Monarch Mountain. There is pin drop silence, except for the whispering rush of the river. Your lot sits high in the trees, surrounded by a horseshoe of river. If you long for quiet and seclusion, build your home here. There is a filtered view of Mount Shavano’s snow capped peak. If you build a second story, you will have a stunning view. 

What you can put on the lot:

  • Log Cabin

  • House

  • Tiny house (if you take it off the wheels)

  • Yurt

  • Mobile Home

  • No covenants, so you can build anything you want as long as it is “site built” (aka no wheels left on it) and you install a septic.

Salida is hot, with homesites sprouting up all around. This land is going to increase in value. And yet, this is even better than a tract lot, because almost the entire lot is buildable and flat, you are SECLUDED instead of in an area of tract homes, and you’re surrounded by nature, views of mountains and nestled in the horseshoe of the river. Talk about private! You can’t even see the neighboring homes.

You can’t see your neighbors' homes from your lot. Bordered by private land to the west and south that’s too steep to build on. In other words, your sacred retreat will remain private forever.

  • Almost the entire lot is flat

  • Located high up between a horseshoe of river below it and a wall of mountain behind it for maximum privacy and seclusion

  • Paved road

  • Plowed regularly

  • You can put in a well

  • There is a 30 foot access/easement in the deed history but it may need a refresh.

  • We’re verifying if you can put in a septic system. You may purchase the land with this as a contingency. 

  • 8800 feet elevation, approx.

  • Assessed value of $48,000. Priced to sell!

  • View video of the river in front of the land here.

  • Video of the low area between the river and building pad.

  • Video of building pad, sweeping from south to west to north. Mount Shavano is behind a cloud in the video but you can see it a little better in the photo.
