Ultimate Riverfront Legacy just 10 Minutes to Downtown Salida The Rare Opportunity: Experience exceptional river living on this shovel-ready 12-acre sanctuary. This is one of the valley's most unique offerings, featuring grandfathered land-use status that allows for a dream residence (min. 2,000 sq. ft.) to be built significantly closer to the water than modern setbacks permit. Shovel-Ready Build Site: Skip the infrastructure wait. Current owner has invested almost $100K to get the land ready. A high-performance well and electrical power are already active and delivered directly to the 2-acre building envelope. Natural Gas Advantage: Rare for rural acreage, Natural Gas is available, providing high-efficiency energy options over standard propane. Protected Waterfront: Over 100' of private Arkansas River frontage, professionally boulder-protected for permanent shoreline integrity and excellent fly-fishing access. Plus, the property also allows access to over 700' of shared shoreline in the development. Guaranteed Privacy: 10 acres are preserved under a ROSI designation, creating a permanent, private viewshed of the Collegiate Peak 14ers that can never be obstructed by future development. Secure & Exclusive: Accessed via a private gated entrance, offering total seclusion just a 10-minute drive from Salida's historic shops and dining. Stop dreaming and start building. This is the Arkansas Valley's most "well planned" and ready-to-break-ground riverfront estate.
