About this property
Bella Vista Salida awaits...Minutes from downtown Salida, 30 min to Monarch!
Come and play in the Arkansas River valley or ski at Monarch and stay at Bella Vista Salida, a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with breathtaking mountain views and only minutes from downtown Salida and less than 30 minutes to Monarch Mountain and just minutes away from some of the finest recreation on the planet.
Bella Vista Salida is expertly furnished in a contemporary southwestern style and has afully equipped gourmet kitchen, laundry/mud room with washer/dryer, front and rear outdoor patios with outdoor grill. Did we mention the stunning mountain views?
Skiing, biking, hiking, gold medal fly fishing, arts, dining, music, festivals, world class whitewater, hunting and more are all right here to enjoy. Or just sit and relax on the patio. We are just 7 minutes from downtown Salida, 25 minutes from fantastic skiing at Monarch Mountain, 13 minutes from the Arkansas River (Stone Bridge access), 26 minutes to Mt Princeton Hot Springs, 21 minutes to Brown's Canyon (Hecla Junction access). There is plenty of room for the raft/snow machine trailer so bring the toys (no livestock trailers please)!
Salida is a wonderful old mining town with a vibrant arts and music scene and a growing number of local craft breweries and distilleries. Home to FIBark, America's oldest and boldest whitewater festival, each June and numerous other festivals throughout the year, Salida is a great vacation destination. Did we mention the weather? The weather is awesome in Salida nearly all the time.
Bella Vista Salida is in Pinion Hills, just outside Salida. We are only 3 hours (167 miles) from Denver International Airport and 2:15 (109 miles) from the Colorado Springs Airport. You don't even have to drive over a high mountain pass to get here!
Bella Vista Salida's sleeping arrangements include: a spacious master suite with king bed and full bath with spa tub; a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with one full size bed and twin over full size futon bunkbed. There is a spacious second full bath off the hallway.
You will find a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with everything you will need but the food! Relax on the front patio with panoramic views of the Sawatch and Sangre de Cristo mountains. Complete with outdoor grill.
Indoor garage parking for one car is available and there is plenty of room in the driveway for up to 3 other vehicles and a couple of raft/snow machine trailers.
Bella Vista Salida was fully renovated in Sept 2017 with all new flooring, paint, door hardware, lighting, appliances, and all new furniture. This is a green, solar powered SMART home with quiet, comfortable hydronic baseboard heating.

About the host
Hosted by Don & Nanci Kinser
I am a retired engineer and avid outdoor adventurer. I lived in the Atlanta area since 1977 when I was a freshman at Georgia Tech. I remained in Atlanta after graduating from Georgia Tech and married, started an engineering business, and raised 3 children (and now I am a grandparent). While Georgia is still our legal residence, today Nanci and I split time between our new home in Salida, our home on the Chattooga River in SC and the family farm in WV.
My passions include whitewater kayaking, fly fishing, hunting, skiing and just about anything out of doors.
My passions include whitewater kayaking, fly fishing, hunting, skiing and just about anything out of doors.
Why they chose this property
I first entered the Arkansas Valley in 1997 on my first western kayaking trip from Georgia. I instantly fell in love with the Arkansas river and Colorado in general. I’ve visited there many times since and expanded my engineering business into Colorado in 2006. However, I did not return to the Arkansas Valley until 2013 when my engineering company was fortunate enough to work with the Salida School District on the new middle school. It took no longer than my first visit to Salida to reignite my love of the Arkansas and I immediately fell in love with Salida. Nanci, my wife joined me on one of my early visits to the area and she too fell in love. We had to become a part of the Salida community and the Arkansas River valley!
We began our search for that perfect Salida home. It took 4 years and we finally found it at Bella Vista Salida. Thank goodness for the patience of our realtor Maureen Shultz with Gore Range Group LLC. We toured a lot of homes in and around Salida until we found this one. We think it is perfect and we hope you do to. Enjoy!
Nanci and I have never had the chance to create a home starting with a clean palette so this was an exciting time for us. We can't thank Nicole Balaun at Su Casa Furniture & Sleep Shop in Salida enough for her wonderful design help and outstanding customer service making this house our new home!
