This exceptional 3-acre lot offers more than just land-it offers a unique mountain lifestyle. Build your dream home on a gentle hill with a natural flat spot for your circular driveway and level entry. A gradual slope toward the back of the property invites a walk-out basement design that frames the mountains like a living mural of Colorado's most iconic peaks. A rare mix of sun-drenched meadow and scattered evergreens creates the perfect balance of open space and seclusion. Directly bordering the 650-acre Centerville Ranch Conservation Easement, you'll enjoy a permanent buffer of protected land and the seasonal magic of elk and wildlife passing by-no neighbors, just nature. Positioned in the heart of the banana belt, you'll experience a milder four-season climate and unbeatable access to the best of Chaffee County. Between Salida's vibrant arts and dining scene and Buena Vista's outdoor charm, you're minutes from hiking trails, gold medal fly fishing in the Arkansas River, rafting the renowned Class III and IV rapids of Browns Canyon, soaking at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, and countless adventures on bike, horseback, kayak, or 4-wheel drive. Whether you're building a private mountain retreat or a savvy investment property, this is your gateway to the Colorado dream. Short- and long-term rentals are permitted with county approval.
