Set on two scenic acres in the private Meadowlark Estates community, this thoughtfully upgraded home offers a rare blend of comfort, efficiency, 360 degree mountain views and Salida lifestyle. Just under two miles from downtown, residents enjoy quick access to local shops, dining, events, and the Arkansas River, while still benefiting from the quiet, open feel of a small subdivision with great neighbors and a strong sense of community. A bike path at the entrance makes it easy to explore the town and nearby trails.
Inside, the home features brand new stainless appliances, fresh interior and exterior paint, custom window treatments, new carpet, hardwood and LVP flooring, and three large skylights that fill the space with natural light. The open concept living room flowing into the sunroom showcases in floor heat, pine paneling and exquisite views of the Saguache Mountain Range to the north and the dry mountains, including S Mountain, to the east, creating a perfect setting for sunrise coffee or sunset gatherings. Energy efficiency stands out with solar power (power bill is $10/mon.), heavy insulation, a new hot water heater, a Scaleblaster water conditioner, a reverse osmosis water purifier and natural gas heating, keeping monthly utility costs remarkably low.
Outdoors, mature fruit trees include crabapple, pear, peach and apple, perennials, and established tomato and raspberry garden beds supported by a drip and gated irrigation system powered by Murray Ditch w/ water rights. A private courtyard with lighting and an in-ground fire pit offers an inviting space for entertaining or relaxing. Multiple outbuildings include two storage sheds and a larger, insulated personal retreat with wood stove, power and loft storage, ideal for hobbies, creative space, or additional storage. With a paved driveway, ample parking, well-maintained systems, and 360 view of the mountains, this property delivers space, privacy, and the best of Salida living in one exceptional setting.
