"Historic Riverfront Estate—5 min to Salida, 20 to Monarch, Raft In/Out Beach!" | House in Salida
6 Bedroom House in Salida
NO pets | KIDS OVER 13 WELCOME
Peaceful and serene, this private riverfront estate sleeps 12! The Poor Farm is a newly renovated, historic farmhouse perched on a bluff along the Arkansas River.
The home features 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, mini arcade, library, cedar sauna, and a private beach with access to Gold Medal Fishing Waters. The large Victorian-style rooms with vaulted ceilings offer plenty of space for friends and families to spread out. The beach is just a 50-second walk down the hill. Located 5 minutes from downtown Salida and 22 minutes from Monarch Ski Resort.
We're only 2 miles from downtown Salida, which is bikeable and walkable in the summer via a riverside path that leads into town. Taxi services are also available if needed.
Hosts live in a separate adjacent home and keep to themselves.
All bedrooms are on the second floor, accessible by a staircase with 22 steps. Each room has a private bathroom and individual A/C units in the summer. Organic detergents and cleaners are used for a healthy, minimally scented environment.
The spacious kitchen includes everything you need for cooking, with a 6-burner stovetop, 2 ovens, dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, water filter, pellet ice maker, and a large fridge/freezer. We also provide organic coffee and tea.
This beautiful, peaceful location on the river is a perfect home base for your adventures in the Arkansas Valley. Rent rafts locally and use our private beach for rafting in or out. Enjoy a picnic by the river, bike to town, or relax in the outdoor seating area with a glass of wine and a crackling fire. The sunsets are breathtaking, and the dark, quiet nights offer stunning views of the stars. If you're an early riser, watch the sunrise from our cedar sauna.
The outdoor space features a large seating area with a wood-burning Chiminea fire pit, and a seating area on the river beach.
The Poor Farm was built in 1892 by Chaffee County as a home for the destitute, who worked the land in exchange for room and board. It originally covered over 100 acres, much of which is now the Mt. Ouray State Wildlife Area. Listed on the National Historic Register, it’s a cherished piece of Chaffee County history. Hosts spent three years lovingly renovating this property and are excited to share it with you for lasting memories.
A note to the nit-picky: As a riverfront property in the country, minimal encounters with bugs in the summer are normal. If that bothers you, this may not be the right booking for you. Across and down the river is a rarely-used, 100% non-toxic sand and gravel company, often mistaken for an active mine. It’s located near the historic Salida Smelter Tower, which has been inactive since 1920 and is open for public visits.
Important: Your reservation is only for the number of guests booked. No additional guests or visitors are allowed on the property. The exterior of the property is under surveillance for your safety and ours.
