Salida, CO 81201 16820 County Road 240d

Tucked among mature ponderosas and shimmering aspens on a 1.01-acre corner lot, this handsome log-sided retreat checks every box for the Colorado mountain lifestyle - without sacrificing the convenience of a vibrant town nearby. Step inside and the home opens into a generous dual living area - a living room and family room anchored by a commanding rock fireplace that rises seamlessly into a soaring tongue-and-groove vaulted ceiling. It's the kind of space that invites long winter evenings just as easily as it hosts a crowd. The kitchen flows naturally into a bright eating area, where granite countertops meet a bay window perfectly framing the silhouette of Mt. Shavano, With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for the whole crew - whether that's family, friends, or a rotating cast of ski buddies who never seem to want to leave. The detached 3+ car garage and workshop is a dream for the hobbyist, overlander, or anyone who needs serious storage for skis, bikes, ATVs, and adventure gear. Within minutes you can be skiing at Monarch, summiting a 14er, fishing a gold-medal stretch of river, hunting, riding ATV trails - or strolling F Street for great food, art, and that unmistakable Salida energy.
