Freedom, Function, and Fresh Upgrades on Nearly 3 Acres in Salida
Tucked just minutes from downtown but far from the rules of an HOA, this 2.98-acre property offers a rare mix of independence, utility, and comfort. The home has been fully renovated from the inside out: new kitchen, furnace, drywall, plumbing, electrical, and septic, so you can skip the projects and settle right in.
Step inside to find a light-filled, single-level layout with hickory kitchen cabinets, updated appliances, and a comfortable flow between the living and dining spaces. A wood stove adds warmth and mountain character to the home, while wide windows bring the outside in. The main living area opens directly to a concrete back patio with an iron pergola, ideal for outdoor dining, lounging, or fireside evenings. A walkway leads to a private pad with hot tub hookups already in place. Three bedrooms and two baths give you room to spread out, including a primary suite with panoramic mountain views, double vanity, and a beautifully done walk-in shower. A flex space connects the suite to the laundry area, perfect for a nursery, office, or dressing room.
One of the standout features of this property is the massive 1,548 square foot detached garage and shop, measuring 42 by 36 feet with 16-foot ceilings. The oversized 14x16-foot overhead door makes it ideal for RVs, trailers, or large equipment. Fully insulated and ready for your preferred heat source, the space also includes a 220V welding outlet. Whether you need room for a home-based business, serious projects, or gear storage, this kind of utility space is incredibly rare and tough to replace.
The land is open and usable with room for animals, gardens, or just breathing room. With a private well and no covenants to restrict your use, this property gives you the freedom to live how you want.
If you've been waiting for a move-in ready home on acreage near Salida that offers room to grow and no red tape, this one deserves a look.
