Private Mountain Home with Expansive Views, Detached Garage, and Nearby Trail Access Tucked into the trees just minutes from downtown Salida, this mountain property offers space, privacy, and front-row views of the Collegiate Peaks. Set on over two acres, it sits directly across the street from approximately 3700 acres of BLM land. Trailheads for the Methodist Mountain trail system are just a short drive or ride down the road, making access to hiking, biking, and exploring easy without giving up the quiet of a private setting. The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open main level filled with natural light. The living room has hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and large windows that frame the views. The kitchen includes natural wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and plenty of counter space for cooking and entertaining. The primary suite is on the main level and includes a walk-in closet and private bath. A full walkout basement is roughed in for a bathroom and ready for the new owner to finish as needed. It is ideal for additional bedrooms, a rec room, guest space, or a workshop. The oversized 32 by 28 foot detached garage includes built-in storage and owned solar panels. There is room for vehicles, tools, and everything that comes with the mountain lifestyle. The walkout lower level opens to a flagstone patio with a fire pit, surrounded by natural landscaping and a peaceful treed setting. Just steps away, a built-in horseshoe pit adds a fun and casual touch, perfect for laid-back afternoons and gatherings with friends. The front yard includes a low-maintenance rock garden with a small water feature that adds curb appeal and character. The covered deck off the main level takes full advantage of the setting. It is an ideal spot to relax, dine, or watch the sunset over the peaks. Whether you are looking for a full-time home or a weekend escape, this one checks all the boxes with views, access, privacy, and room to grow.
