Property Description
4.54 Acres | Arkansas River Frontage | Two Warm Springs | Permitted Boat Ramp.
Set on 4.54 acres along the Arkansas River, this rare riverfront parcel delivers everything that makes the Bighorn Sheep Canyon corridor so sought after. The property includes approximately one thousand feet of private river frontage with ownership extending to the center of the Arkansas River, offering true access to one of Colorado's most iconic waterways.
Two defined building envelopes allow for a large primary home and a secondary dwelling unit, both positioned near the river's edge, an exceptional privilege in this canyon. Interior roads already in place provide easy access throughout the property and simplify future site planning.
This stretch of the Arkansas is designated Gold Medal water, known for outstanding trout habitat and consistent production of large brown and rainbow trout. The year round fishery draws anglers from across the state who value the clarity, oxygenated flow, and cold water stability of this reach. Here you can cast a line or launch a drift boat directly from your own riverbank.
Adding to the uniqueness of the site are two natural warm water springs that flow year round, cascading into the river and creating a natural aesthetic rarely found in private parcels. A permitted and improved boat ramp is already in place, providing effortless access for fishing, kayaking, rafting, or simply launching a float to enjoy the river.
Usable terrain, mature vegetation, and views of the canyon walls and surrounding mountains complete the setting. The combination of direct river ownership, warm springs, multiple building sites, and a private boat ramp make this one of the most distinctive parcels in the Salida area.
This is an exceptional opportunity to create a riverfront residence or recreational getaway where Colorado's natural beauty and Gold Medal water converge in one remarkable location.

With more than 20 years in Douglas County, I bring both local knowledge and a personal understanding of how our housing needs change through different seasons of life. As an empty nester who has also experienced multi-generational living firsthand, I especially enjoy helping clients think through what they need from a home today—and what will serve them well in the years ahead.
My approach to real estate is shaped by a diverse professional background. I earned a law degree and spent years in senior corporate leadership, including leading a business division responsible for product acquisition and development, sales, marketing, and overall performance. Today, alongside our real estate business, we own a residential remodeling and handyman company. That combination brings business leadership, strategic negotiation, marketing expertise, legal education, and hands-on knowledge of homes to every transaction.
For sellers, I help determine what’s worth doing—and what isn’t—to prepare and position a home for the best possible result. When updates make sense, our pay-at-close renovation option can help coordinate practical improvements without requiring upfront payment. For buyers, I bring the same thoughtful approach to evaluating a home’s condition, potential, functionality, and long-term value.
Above all, I’m a calm, strategic, and hands-on partner who believes great representation is personal. Whether I’m developing a pricing strategy, negotiating on your behalf, coordinating contractors and staging, or hanging curtains before photos, I treat your move with the same care I would my own.
