Property Description

RARE RIVERFRONT ACREAGE in an Exclusive Mountain Setting! Exceptional 6.48-acre riverfront property nestled among mature aspens along the South Arkansas River in Monarch River Estates - an intimate mountain subdivision designed around privacy, natural beauty, and land stewardship. Each ownership in Monarch River Estates encompasses two distinct lots—a buildable parcel paired with a conservation parcel—creating an uncommon sense of space and privacy. This contiguous 6.48-acre property includes a 2-acre buildable lot and a 4.48-acre conservation lot, preserving the natural landscape and providing a generous buffer around your future mountain home. Approximately 600 feet of South Arkansas River frontage skirt the build site, offering the rare opportunity to build alongside one of the valley's cherished waterways. Building envelope is notably flat and sunny, and has been mitigated in cooperation with local fire officials. A mountain meadow setting surrounded by river sounds, local wildlife, mountain views, and protected open space, this is a property where privacy doesn't require isolation and luxury doesn't require excess. Build your mountain retreat, step outside, and let the river become part of everyday life. Located 15 minutes from Monarch Mountain Ski Are and 20 minutes from the riverfront town of Salida is one extraordinary opportunity to create something truly your own.
