Why buy here.
Drive around the Rocky Mountain states. You will see ski towns, fishing destinations and remote mountain hamlets. But we don’t think you will find anywhere like Salida and the Arkansas Valley for the fullness of it’s appeal.
Beauty and
Views: Unsurpassed in every
direction, with more fourteen thousand foot peaks than anywhere else
in the lower forty eight states. 
Accessibility: Colorado Springs is 2 hours away, Denver 2.5, and Santa Fe less than 4.
Size: Salida feels small-town, but boasts the largest registered historic district in the state, located well away from the main highway. This gives you the option of fine in-town residences, and a variety of mountain and valley settings offering privacy, majestic views and a sense of country life.
Amenities: Salida offers an enviable mix of more urban amenities such as fine restaurants and shopping, schools, churches, cultural events, parks, golf course, public hot springs, walking and biking trails, fishing and access to some of the most beautiful mountains and backcountry in the west.
Skiing: The laid back Monarch Ski
and Snowboard Area, only 20 minutes from Salida, offers over 1000 acres
of family friendly terrain and some of the most acclaimed back country
skiing in the state. Monarch also boasts the second highest average snow
fall of any resort in Colorado.
Healthcare: A strong medical community is supported by a brand new, state of the art hospital, currently under construction.
Community Life: This is a diverse community of townspeople, ranchers, telecommuters, recreation enthusiasts and an involved population of retirees and second home owners planning to retire here. New residents find a variety of community organizations, arts groups, churches and causes that benefit from their vital energies.
