## Description

### Agent Description
Discover an exceptional mountain retreat on 12+ acres with over 1,500 feet of coveted South Arkansas River frontage. This rare property offers year-round access via a county-maintained road while providing the privacy and natural beauty that define Colorado mountain living.

Bordering National Forest and the renowned Colorado Trail, the property serves as a gateway to endless outdoor recreation. Enjoy direct access to hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, and wildlife viewing right from your doorstep. The nearby Fooses Creek Trailhead offers some of the area's most scenic alpine adventures.

The land features a beautiful blend of mature aspen groves, tall pine trees, and open mountain meadows, creating a diverse and picturesque setting and a level building site near the river. Listen to the river, enjoy stunning mountain views, and experience the tranquility of this remarkable alpine environment.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes from downtown Salida and only 10 minutes from Monarch Mountain, you'll enjoy easy access to world-class skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation while still feeling worlds away from it all.

Whether you're envisioning a private mountain estate, recreational getaway, or legacy property, opportunities like this—with extensive river frontage, National Forest boundary, and unbeatable access to Colorado's high country—are increasingly rare.
