8.9 acres along the Arkansas River - a once in a lifetime opportunity! This extraordinary offering combines unmatched waterfront, development potential, and an unbeatable location. Wake up to unobstructed views across the river to a State Wildlife Area, instead of neighboring homes. Step outside to fish from your own shoreline, launch your raft/kayak, bike into town or head straight to Tenderfoot Mountain for hiking and biking adventures. Ownership spans to the center of the Arkansas River. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or simply seeking a private riverfront retreat, this property delivers. With no HOA and no covenants, you have incredible freedom to design your dream lifestyle. For developers and investors, the possibilities are equally compelling. Residential Suburban zoning allows up to four units per acre, creating exceptional development potential. Filling the existing pond could further expand the buildable area. Envision a river-centered community with private fishing access, a private boat launch, or a thoughtfully designed neighborhood that embraces the river. Chaffee County's Land Use Code allows a wide range of potential uses, including agritourism (ie, farm to table restaurant), wholesale greenhouse operations, single-family and multifamily residences, tiny home developments, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, and more (subject to county approval). Bring your ideas! Irrigation water is provided through the Williams and Hamm Ditch Company, one of the area's oldest (decreed June 19, 1890, incorporated April 16, 1936), keeping the property productive and well-suited for a hobby farm, horses, cattle, alpacas, or other livestock. Whether you're creating a legacy riverfront estate, developing an exceptional residential community, or investing in one of Salida's most coveted locations, this is an opportunity that may never come again. Go for the dream. Livestock is present - DO NOT TRESPASS - all showings must be accompanied by listing agent.
