The property includes multiple garages, including a detached 650-square-foot garage, a partially insulated 3-car garage with electricity, a single-bay dirt-floor garage attached to the home, and RV parking with electric hookup. Situated on approximately 1.5 acres along the river plus an additional 4-acre parcel across the highway, this is a rare opportunity for those seeking privacy, recreation, stunning scenery, and Colorado mountain living. Fish, raft, hike, climb, relax, or simply soak in the incredible setting!
