Property Description

Modern log home built in 2021 with access to the South Arkansas River miles to Monarch Mountain. Discover a unique Colorado mountain property that blends modern construction with flexible use potential. Located just 4 miles from Monarch Mountain Ski Area and within easy reach of downtown Salida, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath log home offers a rare combination of location, zoning, and natural features. Accessible year-round via maintained county road. The road is maintained to the driveway. The home was completed in 2021, offering the benefits of newer construction with the character of a classic mountain chalet. Inside, vaulted ceilings and Andersen clerestory windows fill the home with natural light and frame the surrounding forest, while Douglas fir flooring, granite countertops, and an open floor plan create a warm, functional living space. The sale includes multiple parcels, creating a distinctive opportunity with approximately 0.62 acres plus an additional lower lot backing to the South Arkansas River. A detached deck near the river provides a dedicated space to relax and take in the surrounding setting, accessible by a short walk from the main home. The setting is quiet, wooded, and grounded in the natural landscape, offering privacy while remaining connected to nearby recreation. Mixed-Use Rural (MUR) zoning provides flexibility for residential, live/work, or other permitted uses within Chaffee County regulations. Public water and sewer provide added convenience not commonly found in mountain properties. Enjoy close proximity to Monarch Mountain skiing, hiking and biking trails, and Gold Medal fishing along the South Arkansas River, all while being a short drive to the restaurants, art, and culture of downtown Salida. Ideal as a primary residence, second home, or mountain retreat.
