Commanding views of the Collegiate Peaks set the stage for this exceptional 42.24 acre parcel in Mesa Antero Estates. Open meadows transition into rolling hillsides, mature ponderosa forest, pockets of aspens, and a beautiful wooded valley, creating a landscape that feels expansive, private, and distinctly Colorado. The varied terrain offers both wide open mountain vistas and quiet, sheltered settings among the trees.
The property offers multiple possibilities for creating a Colorado mountain retreat, whether the vision is an elevated homesite oriented toward the dramatic mountain views or a more secluded setting tucked into the natural landscape. Existing roads and trails provide access through portions of the acreage, making it easier to explore the property and appreciate its size and diversity.
Located in desirable Mesa Antero Estates between Salida and Buena Vista, the property is surrounded by some of the Upper Arkansas Valley's most impressive scenery. The Collegiate Peaks dominate the western horizon, while the surrounding forest and varied terrain provide a true mountain setting with abundant space and privacy. Nearby recreation includes hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, hot springs, skiing, and extensive public lands, with the Arkansas River, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, Monarch Mountain, and numerous trail systems all within easy reach.
With more than 42 acres, spectacular mountain views, diverse terrain, mature forest, and open space, this is an exceptional opportunity to create a private Colorado retreat in one of Chaffee County's most beautiful settings.
