1548 County Road 45 | Salida, Colorado. 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.
