Two 2-car garages, one attached, one detached, offer real room for vehicles, gear, workshop space, and winter storage. The wooded lot screens the home and still leaves room to roam, garden, or simply sit outside and take in the peaks. Minutes from downtown Buena Vista, the Arkansas River, trailheads, and the Collegiate Peaks Scenic Byway, this is a practical mountain base with the views people move here for.

67 acres at 8,800 feet - completely private, with no neighboring structures, and reliable ingress/egress to Highway 24 via County Road 305. Bordering National Forest and public lands, with a stream and panoramic mountain and meadow views. The residence is sold strictly as-is; given its age and condition, buyers should budget for a substantial rebuild/teardown and are encouraged to complete their own inspections and due diligence to determine renovation versus reconstruction feasibility. There is also a 1,500 sf two-story barn, not permitted for occupancy. A separate 1,344 sf building - formerly a small poultry operation, now a workshop - is completely off-grid and ready to use. What carries the real value here: a permitted well (5 GPM, 120'), two solar arrays - both with inverters and battery storage, engineered with redundancy for full off-grid operation - plus a multi-fuel backup generator in the garage, and genuine subdivision upside. The property may qualify for an administrative lot split under Chaffee County Land Use Code Sec. 5.2.6.6 (buyer to verify with County Planning) - conceptually a 20-acre compound plus a 47-acre view parcel, supported by existing internal road cuts. Dirt, county-maintained County Road 305 frontage, with a paved driveway section. Sold as-is; cash or hard-money preferred, though a financing contingency may be considered depending on the offer - no seller financing. For a developer, builder, or land buyer who wants water, power, and access already secured, this is a rare, private, off-grid-capable opportunity to make it your own.
