Welcome home! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, energy-efficient home has custom finishes, and is in the desirable Little River Ranch subdivision of Poncha Springs. This home feels brand new and has an open concept floor plan with split bedrooms, a gorgeous kitchen and a large primary suite. The over 3/4-acre lot feels much larger with public land and unbuilt private land on the south, plus HOA open space on the west. Privacy is not an issue given the lot size, landscaping and over 50 native pinon trees. The topography, landscaping and native trees offer you gorgeous mountain views and ample space to sit and enjoy them. Landscaping includes xeriscape immediately around the home, with drip-irrigated perennial flower gardens, shrubs and trees arranged further away and on all 4 sides. In the back you will find a covered patio, impressive sandstone and boulder terraces that showcase multiple layers of beautiful flowers, new trees for more privacy, and a 3- zone drip system to minimize the upkeep. The outdoors staircase to the west will lead you into a lovely park-like area that has a fire pit and majestic views of the 14ers along the Continental Divide. For your vehicles and toys, there is an oversize 3 car garage; outside vehicle parking is allowed on graveled pads. Little River Ranch has over 2 miles of HOA-maintained trails, many that allow you to stroll or fish right along the Little Arkansas River; the HOA also has several acres of open space for you to explore. Little River Ranch is within the town limits of Poncha Springs, which is a friendly community located just minutes from Salida. Salida offers many amenities, (including health care, shopping, eateries, bicycling, river sports and historic downtown). The Chaffee County area has many outdoor adventure opportunities to enjoy (that include camping, hiking, biking, hunting, fishing and skiing). Make your small-town living dream come true!
