8720 County Road 175

8.9 acres along the Arkansas River - a once in a lifetime opportunity! This extraordinary offering combines unmatched waterfront, development potential, and an unbeatable location. Wake up to views across the river to a State Wildlife Area, instead of neighboring homes. Step outside to fish, launch your raft/kayak, bike into town or head straight to Tenderfoot Mountain for hiking / biking adventures. Ownership spans to the center of the Arkansas River. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or seeking a private riverfront retreat, this property delivers. With no HOA and no covenants, you have incredible freedom to design your dream lifestyle. For developers and investors, the possibilities are equally compelling. RS zoning allows up to 4 units per acre, creating exceptional development potential. Filling the existing pond could further expand the buildable area. Envision a river-centered community with private fishing access, a private boat launch, or a thoughtfully designed neighborhood that embraces the river. The Land Use Code allows a range of potential uses, including agritourism (ie, farm to table restaurant), wholesale greenhouse operations, single-family and multifamily residences, restaurants, and more. Bring your ideas! Irrigation water provided through the Williams and Hamm Ditch Co., one of the area's oldest (decreed June 19, 1890, incorp. April 16, 1936), keeping the property productive and well-suited for a hobby farm, horses, cattle, alpacas, or other livestock. Whether you are creating a legacy riverfront estate, developing an exceptional residential community, or investing in one of Salida's most coveted locations, this is a rare opportunity. 1 of 3 adjacent parcels available (approx 128 total acres).
