Tucked just outside Salida, this rare legacy property includes two separate 35-acre parcels for a combined 70.14 acres of opportunity, history, and room to create something lasting.

The main house blends rustic charm with standout mid-century details. A moss rock fireplace anchors the living room, paired with a built-in indoor grill. Vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams add warmth and dimension, while the primary suite features a sunken hot tub surrounded by flagstone and a vintage flair.

It's a space you'll want to walk through to appreciate. A separate 425 square foot studio cabin with full bath is also located on the developed parcel. Currently tenant occupied, it offers built-in income or flexible guest space. The property is served by a well and septic system. The well permit allows for indoor use in up to three single-family dwellings, irrigation of up to one acre of gardens or lawn, fire protection, and watering of poultry, domestic animals, and livestock on a farm or ranch. Two adjudicated springs provide additional water resources. This property is more than land and structures. It's a canvas layered with history and full of potential. Whether you imagine a personal mountain sanctuary, a family retreat, or a place that brings people together again, this property offers the foundation to build something meaningful.
