Collegiate Peaks Ranch sits at an ideal 7,800± foot elevation, just minutes from restaurants and shopping in Salida, Buena Vista, and Poncha Springs, yet the ranch enjoys incredible privacy. Skiing at Monarch Mountain is a mere 25-minute drive, and world-class fishing on the famed Arkansas River is 10-15 minutes from your door. This section of the river is also a well-known kayaking and rafting destination. Mt. Princeton Hot Springs are just up the road, ready to soothe muscles sore from skiing or hiking. The 150-acre ranch is fully fenced. The primary residence, a 3,839-square-foot Mountain Contemporary, offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms across two stories, with Hardie Board and stone siding, a composite roof, radiant heat, four fireplaces, and casement windows. The main floor includes a great room with a gas fireplace and vaulted ceilings, plus a kitchen with high-end appliances. The upper-level has additional bedrooms, one with access to an upper-deck fireplace and valley views, and another with mountain views and a dedicated sitting room. The attached garage provides space for three vehicles. The “toy barn,” with a 1,040± square foot ADU, is unmatched in quality and function - no detail was missed. Four bays, including one with a Bendpak 4-post lift, plus laundry, propane heat, tool and storage cabinets, and a TV sitting area, make this a thing most only dream of. The property borders Colorado state land to the south and private land on the other sides. With several wonderful outdoor living spaces, coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening take on a whole new dimension. The property is unencumbered and enjoys a variety of wildlife, including visiting elk and mule deer - with the proper license and tag, it’s an easy property to hunt. Of course, the name of the ranch tells the real story. The views of the Collegiate Peaks, the Arkansas River Valley, and the surrounding mountains are stunning, visible from almost every window.
