Property Description

Sunrises and sunsets demand attention, and the quiet is broken only by coyotes, nighthawks, and meadowlarks. Pronghorn graze outside, deer meander through the property, and bluebirds and tree swallows make their home in the yard. Located near Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado's most sought after hot springs, and all the offerings of Salida, this property offers endless adventure. Perfect for families or individuals seeking a peaceful retreat.
