Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Salida, Colorado

Ultimate Riverfront Legacy just 10 Minutes to Downtown Salida. This shovel-ready sanctuary features grandfathered land-use status, allowing for a dream residence (min. 2,000 sq. ft.) to be built significantly closer to the water than modern setbacks permit.

Natural Gas Advantage: Rare for rural acreage, Natural Gas is available, providing high-efficiency energy options over standard propane. 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.
