Nestled between historic St. Elmo Ghost Town and Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort, this one-owner retreat is offered fully furnished-all household contents included-for a truly turn-key move. The home features a wrap-around deck and durable metal roof, blending character with function: two wood-burning stoves-an ingeniously crafted cement-mixer unit in the kitchen and another in the living room-a classic claw-foot tub, a finished walk-out basement stubbed for an additional bath, and a low-ceiling loft that's a cozy reading nook and hideaway. Flexible layout: three bedrooms plus an office (or convert to four bedrooms), 1.5 baths. Outside, a shed and a two-car garage provide ample storage and a workshop, and the wallpapered outhouse is a charming conversation piece. The setting stays cool under mature pines, with rock outcroppings and frequent visits from local wildlife and songbirds. Quiet, pristine location with quick access to off-road trails, hiking, fishing, and the Arkansas River, and conveniently situated between Salida and Buena Vista in Chaffee County for dining, shops, festivals, and galleries.
