ABOUT

At River Springs Ranch, more than 1,100 feet of South Arkansas River frontage defines this rare sanctuary.

Where the banks are lined with Cottonwood and Pine trees, right outside your door. From every patio, deck and window, enjoy the sights and sounds of sparkling waters—ideal for fly fishing or simply relaxing. This 22-acre property includes an impressive riverfront home with an indoor-outdoor recreation room and separate one-bed/one-bath guest apartment, a detached workshop with RV parking, an equipment barn, an expansive spring-fed meadow, and a separate 2-acre parcel offering spectacular views of Mount Shavano & Mount Ouray—all just 10 min. from downtown Salida and 25 min. from Monarch Ski Area. 

Completed in 2024 and designed to mirror the river’s flowing contours, the sprawling mountain-contemporary home blends seamlessly with the landscape. The great room features 16-foot vaulted ceilings, a wood pellet stove, and a sliding door that opens to a riverfront patio. The spacious, well-appointed kitchen is built for cooking and entertaining. In the primary suite, wood floors, unique lighting, and panoramic mountain views create a retreat, complete with a clawfoot tub, large marble shower, and generous closet space. The indoor-outdoor recreation room adds hosting flexibility, with front-and-back glass garage doors that open fully to the outdoors, finished with corrugated steel accents and custom lighting. 

Above the attached 3-car garage, a fully equipped apartment offers space for guests, family, or rental income. A detached workshop and equipment barn provide all the storage you could need, including room to stow your RV or other large gear. A second parcel includes two RV hookups with water and sewer access. A large portion of the land is protected by a Colorado Conservancy Easement, ensuring the property’s pristine beauty remains untouched. Come experience unmatched Colorado tranquility, where river & mountain lifestyles converge
