Collegiate Peaks Ranch sits at an ideal 7,800± foot elevation, just minutes from restaurants and shopping in Salida, Buena Vista, and Poncha Springs, yet the ranch enjoys incredible privacy. Skiing at Monarch Mountain is a mere 25-minute drive, and world-class fishing on the famed Arkansas River is 10-15 minutes from your door. This section of the river is also a well-known kayaking and rafting destination. Mt. Princeton Hot Springs are just up the road, ready to soothe muscles sore from skiing or hiking. The 150-acre ranch is fully fenced. The primary residence, a 3,839-square-foot Mountain Contemporary, offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two stories, with Hardie Board and stone siding, a composite roof, radiant heat, four fireplaces, and casement windows. The main floor includes a great room with a gas fireplace and vaulted ceilings, plus a kitchen with high-end appliances. The upper-level has additional bedrooms, one with access to an upper-deck fireplace and valley views, and another with mountain views and a dedicated sitting room. The attached garage provides space for three vehicles. The “toy barn,” with a 1,040± square foot ADU, is unmatched in quality and function - no detail was missed. Four bays, including one with a Bendpak 4-post lift, plus laundry, propane heat, tool and storage cabinets, and a TV sitting area, make this a thing most only dream of. The property borders Colorado state land to the south and private land on the other sides. With several wonderful outdoor living spaces, coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening take on a whole new dimension. The property is unencumbered and enjoys a variety of wildlife, including visiting elk and mule deer - with the proper license and tag, it’s an easy property to hunt. Of course, the name of the ranch tells the real story. The views of the Collegiate Peaks, the Arkansas River Valley, and the surrounding mountains are stunning, visible from almost every window.

An 1870's restored barn on 1,000 feet of Arkansas River frontage. This unique real estate opportunity is a combined feature of architecture, luxury, & rustic mountain comfort. The gated property is a spacious 8.72 acres that drops you down to the home strategically built into the side of the hill. Traditional "banked barn" designs like this were classically 2 story structures utilized for efficient agriculture with entries on separate levels. Converting the historic lumber & frame into a high end residence worked perfectly with the layout of the lot & proximity to the river. When you walk into the front door, you immediately understand the craftsmanship & care that went into the original construction, then into the restoration onto this site. The beams & posts are beautifully aged dense oak, the entire floor is covered in wide plank Douglas Fir, & every inch is custom or salvaged. Most of the main living area is open with only a few posts for support. An impressive 33 foot tall stone fireplace is the star of the interior. There are large windows around the room & an entire wall of massive doors leading to the 600sqft cedar deck that overlooks the river. A bathroom on the main level has a walk in shower & double vanity. Another bath is located in the loft bedroom upstairs. It is a dreamy open concept space with a soaking claw foot tub & views of the surrounding mountains. Another private bedroom is downstairs by the attached oversized garage. Entertaining in this spot is easy. The kitchen includes GE Monogram appliances but is all low-profile to not disturb the atmosphere of the open room. This property is expandable into the adjacent 4.54 acres downstream. This parcel has beautiful access to a permitted boat ramp & hot springs that cascade into the river. An exceptional opportunity to own one of the finest homes in this part of Colorado away from crowds, but close to skiing, hiking, biking, dining & amenities.
