1117 Caliente Ln

Description

This is the kind of Colorado home people mean when they say "mountain living." Welcome to 1117 Caliente in Poncha Springs, where big skies, crisp air, and instant access to outdoor adventure come standard. Tucked at the gateway to the Arkansas Valley, this home sits right where Salida, Poncha Springs, Monarch Ski Area, and the Collegiate Peaks all collide. Little River Ranch is a community that maximizes this outdoor connection with its own private trail system and members only river/fishing access on the Little Ark. Mornings start with mountain views. Afternoons might mean skiing at Monarch Mountain (just minutes away), trail running or biking straight from your door, floating the Arkansas River, or wandering into downtown Salida for live music and a great meal. And evenings? Quiet, stars-for-days, and that "wow, we really live here" feeling. Inside, the home is warm, inviting, and designed for real life-whether that's hosting friends after a powder day, working remotely with a view, or simply enjoying a low-maintenance mountain base. Think comfortable spaces, smart layout, and just enough polish to feel special without feeling precious. Three bedrooms and two baths on the main level separated by an open concept living room and kitchen area flows out to a fully landscaped and fenced backyard with a covered patio and outdoor firepit area. Downstairs is a family room, office, workout area, and a full on game room with a bathroom. Outside, Poncha Springs delivers what so many buyers are searching for right now: room to breathe and quick access to everything that makes Colorado famous-skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, and wide-open public land in every direction. If you've been searching for: a mountain home in Colorado, a home near a ski area, a Salida or Poncha Springs property, or a place that balances adventure with everyday comfort, this might be it. 1117 Caliente isn't about pretending to live the Colorado lifestyle. It's about actually living it.
