Cliffside – A Mountain Retreat Above Chalk Creek Valley. Perched above the Chalk Creek Valley and tucked beneath the dramatic Chalk Cliffs, Cliffside is a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat designed in the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright, with intentional spaces that feel both functional and inviting. This three-level home features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and three fireplaces, and has been thoughtfully updated over the years with two major remodels (2005 and 2017) plus ongoing improvements through 2026 — including a new roof, main level windows, and new HVAC compressor. The standout primary suite, added in 2017, includes a spectacular bath, walk-in closet, private stairway, and a covered rear porch, with a wrought-iron balcony railing added in 2026. Expansive windows — including all-new sliding doors and windows — and a large west-facing deck (2017, engineered wood) capture unforgettable Colorado sunsets and flood the home with natural light. This property is currently operated as a short-term rental with a strong income history, offering excellent flexibility for an owner-user and/or investor. Mechanical systems have been proactively maintained, with replaced water heaters, furnace, gas line resealing, and septic servicing — giving buyers added confidence in the home's operating reliability. An added bonus is the detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above the garage, remodeled in 2021 with a larger kitchen, new wood flooring, plus a new roof and water heater in 2026. Featuring 1 bedroom and 1.5 baths, it's ideal as a long-term rental, guest quarters, or a private lock-off space depending on your needs. The oversized garage with two garage doors provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and all your Colorado toys. Enjoy parking for up to four vehicles, and an unbeatable location just down the road from Mount Princeton Hot Springs, with easy access to St. Elmo, the Colorado Trail, and the dining and shopping of Salida and Buena Vista (approx. 15–20 minutes).
