Big skies. Boundless potential. Tucked into 32.12 wooded acres in the peaceful Hidden Hills subdivision just outside Salida, Colorado, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat is a rare blend of seclusion, creativity, and connection to nature. Surrounded by towering trees and native landscape, it offers a private sanctuary where you can live intentionally and breathe deeply. Crafted with originality and artistic flair, the home features two-story vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, a custom spiral staircase, a cozy wood stove for cool winter nights, and built-in bookshelves that add warmth and personality throughout. The spacious primary bedroom offers tranquil mountain views and a walk-in closet. A generous laundry area with pantry storage adds everyday convenience. The southwest-facing sunroom captures natural light and passive solar warmth-an ideal space for year-round gardening or simply grounding yourself in nature. Step out onto the covered back deck and listen-the quiet is part of the charm. This isn't about panoramic vistas; it's about stillness, trees, wildlife, and a deep connection to the land. While the home retains its original charm, it invites your vision and care. Some exterior upkeep and thoughtful updates will go a long way in transforming this into a truly personalized mountain retreat. Located just 10 miles from the heart of Salida-a creative, energetic mountain town known for its vibrant art scene, live music, thriving local shops, and welcoming sense of community-this location is both remote and accessible. You're also just minutes from the Arkansas River, Monarch Mountain Ski Area, Buena Vista, and Mount Princeton Hot Springs. Create your own story here. The Colorado lifestyle is calling.
