About this home
Live the True Colorado Mountain Life: Off-Grid on 40 Acres, just 13 miles outside of Salida! If end-of-the-road seclusion and off-grid living are what you are after, this mountain retreat may be exactly what you have been searching for. Nestled at the base of majestic Mount Shavano, this 40-acre forested property offers unmatched privacy, sweeping alpine views, and a chance to fully disconnect while living in tune with nature. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features 1,344 square feet on the main level, including a large living area, a practical kitchen, 3 comfortable bedrooms, and a full bath. A wood stove provides cozy heat through the winter months. Downstairs, the unfinished basement provides space to expand, with another full bathroom already in place. An attached 2-stall garage connects to the basement - ideal for vehicles or gear after a day of exploring. Built for self-sufficiency, the home runs on solar power with a backup generator, keeping your footprint light and your independence strong. A durable metal roof and brand-new stucco (installed in 2025) ensure long-term, low-maintenance living. This property isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s for the hardy, those drawn to the raw beauty of Colorado’s high country. Whether you're seeking a full-time homestead, seasonal getaway, or basecamp for outdoor adventures, this off-grid sanctuary offers the freedom, solitude, and lifestyle so many only dream about. Don’t just visit the mountains—live in them. Property's NW corner abuts National Forest. Well allows for an additional home, 1 acre lawn/garden, and domestic animals. Home is located along a private road in which you must be accompanied by a broker (sorry, no drive bys), home is occupied full time. Note: This is one of 3 adjacent properties being offered for sale, giving you an opportunity to purchase 120 acres with a total of 3 homes if desired.
