Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Salida, Colorado
13400 Dry Gulch Rd, Salida, CO 81201
Perched at 8,442 feet in Mesa Antero Estates, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 4-bath mountain residence spans 74.53 acres and offers sweeping 360° views of the Continental Divide and surrounding 14,000-foot peaks. Impeccably maintained, the property includes a separately deeded, undeveloped 36.27-acre parcel, presenting excellent potential for future development or resale. The home has also recently received a brand-new septic system and leach field, providing added value and peace of mind.
The custom-built home reflects refined mountain craftsmanship with hardwood and tile flooring, exposed timber beams, handcrafted doors, and expansive windows framing the dramatic alpine landscape. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning stove, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The kitchen is designed with new quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless-steel appliances. The primary suite, upper bedroom, and living/dining areas are equipped with new LG mini-split heating and cooling systems, while remote-controlled solar-blocking blinds provide year-round comfort. High-speed Starlink internet equipment is included, offering reliable connectivity ideal for remote work.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, offering over 1,400 sq ft of deck space, six private patios, mature landscaping, and a year-round spring-fed creek. A standout amenity is the 32’ x 48’ insulated pole barn with an attached 12’ x 48’ covered lean-to, offering exceptional versatility. The pole barn provides vehicle and equipment storage, features a dedicated RV hookup, and doubles as a private indoor pickleball court for year-round recreation. The covered lean-to adds valuable RV parking, protecting vehicles from the elements. Additional features include an attached two-car garage and ample additional parking.
Rarely available, this property is ideal as a luxury mountain retreat, multi-generational compound, or an estate with future development potential.
