Mountain Living with Salida & Monarch Mountain Close By Built in 2022 and exceptionally well maintained, this 1,800-square-foot home offers the appeal of newer construction with a comfortable, thoughtfully designed floor plan. With 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, the home features an open main-level living area that makes everyday living and entertaining easy. Step outside onto the upstairs deck and take in the surrounding mountain views, or enjoy the backyard, which borders green space and creates a feeling of openness and privacy rarely found in a newer neighborhood. Sidewalks and walkable streets add to the welcoming residential feel of this Poncha Springs community. Location is one of this home's greatest advantages. Just a short 10-minute drive puts you in Salida, or leave the car at home and take a 20-minute bike ride into Salida via the paved multi-use path connecting the two towns. Completely separate from the road, the path offers convenient access for biking, walking, and running, as well as access to local Poncha Springs amenities, including a grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants, and breweries. Nearby Salida is one of Colorado's most beloved mountain towns. Explore its extensive historic district, browse local art galleries, enjoy its eclectic restaurants and cafes, or head to the Arkansas River for kayaking, rafting and exceptional fly fishing. For winter recreation, Monarch Mountain is approximately 15 minutes west, making it easy to enjoy a morning on the slopes and still be home for lunch. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a mountain getaway, or a place to enjoy the best of the Upper Arkansas Valley, this newer Poncha Springs home puts you close to it all.
