Outdoor lovers will appreciate quick access to the Arkansas River, Monarch Mountain, and Salida’s expansive singletrack biking and hiking trail system. Buena Vista and Mount Princeton Hot Springs are just a short drive away. With a home already in place and room to make it your own, the potential is endless. Come walk the land, sit on the deck, and feel the quiet. Sometimes the best way to know a place is to stand still in it.
