Modern Mountain Living, Built Better at 10500 Willow Ave, Poncha Springs This 2022-built home in Poncha Meadows Subdivision was constructed indoors, in a climate-controlled facility, to the same IRC code as any site-built home in Chaffee County, then held to tighter tolerances than most stick-built construction ever sees. No weather delays during the build, no lumber warping on a job site, no shortcuts made to beat a Colorado winter. The result: a tighter building envelope, better energy efficiency, and a home that's been standing strong through several Rocky Mountain winters already. Set on a .10-acre corner lot only 20 minutes from Monarch Mountain, this Mountain Contemporary offers 2,048 finished square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms (3 full, 1 half) across two levels. The primary suite anchors the upper floor with its own full bath, joined by bedrooms two and three with one of the bedrooms also having its own en suite bath and third full bath upstairs, ideal for multigenerational living or hosting family who come for the mountains and stay a while. Inside: a living room fireplace for cold Salida nights, radiant electric heat, double-pane windows, and an in-unit laundry setup that just works. Step outside to a covered front porch, private patio, and balcony framed by mountain views, plus a partially fenced yard with great landscaping for pets or kids. A detached 2-car garage with 220V wiring and oversized bays covers gear storage for skis, bikes, or a shop project. Hot tub negotiable, so ask. Minutes from Monarch Mountain, downtown Salida, and the Arkansas River, this is a from-the-ground-up quality build in one of Poncha Springs' most established subdivisions.
