Set on a private 1.69-acre parcel in desirable Ute Heights, 6475 County Road 178 E is a single-level contemporary home that pairs comfortable everyday living with sweeping mountain and valley views. At 2,156 finished square feet the home provides four bedrooms and two full baths in a straightforward, functional plan that reads well for families, weekend retreats, or remote workers seeking quiet and easy access to Salida’s amenities.
The interior is arranged for flow and livability: a primary gathering area opens to the kitchen and dining space while bedrooms are placed for privacy. Large picture windows and multiple outdoor access points frame views and give the home a strong indoor-outdoor connection. The attached two-car garage and long drive add practical convenience for storing toys, gear and vehicles. Built in 1995 and well maintained, the house presents an opportunity to personalize finishes to your taste while benefitting from a sound, move-in-ready shell.
Outside, the nearly 1.7-acre lot affords room for a garden, additional outbuildings (subject to county rules), and plenty of space to spread out without losing the sense of being within minutes of town. The property sits above Salida with sightlines toward the Arkansas River corridor and surrounding foothills — an asset for buyers seeking views without the maintenance of larger ranch holdings.
Location is a standout: a short drive delivers you to downtown Salida’s restaurants, galleries, and services, while river access, trailheads, mountain biking routes and hot springs are all within easy reach. If you’re looking for a comfortably scaled home with acreage, privacy, and direct access to Colorado’s river-and-mountain lifestyle, this Ute Heights property is worth a tour.
