This is the definition of an affordable Colorado basecamp, a rare double-lot opportunity (Units 223 and 224) in Chateau Chaparral, a riverfront community tucked into the Arkansas Valley and surrounded by beautiful peaks, many rising over 14,000 ft. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape, a seasonal retreat, or a low-maintenance home base near world-class recreation, this property delivers unmatched value for the location, including private access to the Arkansas River and a footbridge into Brown’s Canyon National Monument (over 21,000 acres of protected public land with miles of trails, wildlife habitat, and iconic canyon scenery). Lot 223 has the added benefit of winter water, making it especially appealing for extended seasonal use. Lot 223 can be purchased separately for $95,000, and the clean, well-kept Keystone Montana 2955RL 5th wheel may convey or be removed depending on the buyer’s preference. The 5th wheel features the Arctic Insulation Package, Total Surround Aluminum Structure, and A/C for warm summer days. A propane tank is already in place, creating a convenient and comfortable setup for enjoyment year-round. Lot 224 has seasonal water (which could be upgraded to yearlong) and includes valuable additional improvements, including a private storage shed for tools and gear, plus a dog kennel that may convey or be removed depending on your plans. Lot 224 can be purchased separately for $80,000 or combined with Lot 223 as a rare double-lot package. Chateau Chaparral offers excellent amenities including a community clubhouse and activity center, fitness and game areas, showers and restrooms, coin laundry, WiFi, a commercial kitchen, and well-maintained roads and common areas. HOA services also include water, sewer, and trash, making ownership simple and convenient. Located between Salida and Buena Vista, you’re minutes from rafting, fishing, hiking, biking, hot springs, and skiing, including Mt. Princeton Hot Springs and Monarch Mountain.
