Situated on a private 2.22-acre lot, this home captures some of the finest scenery in the Arkansas River Valley. Expansive windows frame spectacular 360-degree views, while the home's incredible hillside deck provides a front-row seat to the Arkansas River winding through the valley below and an unforgettable backdrop of Colorado's iconic mountain ranges.

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, Canon 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. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or mountain getaway, this is a rare opportunity to own a special piece of the Arkansas River Valley.
