This is the custom in-town riverside home you’ve been looking for!
Nestled above the Arkansas River in one of Buena Vista’s premier neighborhoods, this home enjoys stunning views of the Arkansas River and the Collegiate Peaks. This premier property is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the River Run neighborhood, just downriver from South Main. The HOA maintains a private trail along the Arkansas River from the Beaver Falls Bridge (by Ramsour Rd) to the Cottonwood Creek confluence, then up to Arizona St; see the map below.
Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident throughout the home. The open floorplan seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas making for an exceptional space for entertaining, that opens to a spacious partially covered patio overlooking the river. The open kitchen is well planned and appointed including a dual fuel oven, granite countertops and enough room for the chef and a few helpers. A beautiful quartz island bar with seating for 3-4 makes for a great informal eating space, while a proper dining area is just off the living room with exceptional river views. The main floor owners’ suite has ample closet space, well placed windows, and a spacious bathroom with custom shower.
A bonus room at the top of the stairs could be used as an office, TV room, craft or workout studio. The two upstairs bedrooms are different sizes allowing for flexibility in use; the larger bedroom has vaulted ceilings and unobstructed views of Mt Princeton. All bedrooms have an abundance of closet space. The oversized upstairs full bathroom opens off the bonus space and has a private toilet room. At the bottom of the stairs a large mud room connects the laundry room, garage, and living area with ample room to keep all your jackets, shoes, and gear organized. The 2-car garage has an abundance of storage options, a workbench, and access to the side yard overflow gear storage area.
Attention to detail in the design of the home was carried over to the landscaping. The entire property is meticulously landscaped with low water native plants, and served by an in-ground drip irrigation system. The back patio is partially covered with open areas on either side creating private outdoor spaces all with stunning views of the river and the Sleeping Indian.

The River Run HOA
The HOA owns and maintains a trail and open space that runs approximately 1,000 ft along the Arkansas River from the Beaver Falls Bridge by Ramsour Rd, to the Cottonwood Creek confluence, then approximately 450 ft up Cottonwood Creek to the road. The neighbors organize two workdays per year to maintain and improve the common areas. There is a large flat, open, shaded area at the confluence that has been the site of several homeowner improvement workdays. Recent improvements include adding a picnic bench, horseshoe pit, and Adirondack chairs overlooking river/creek confluence. The trails and open space are part of what makes living in the River Run neighborhood special.
Privacy and proximity to South Main, Town, the Midland Hill trail network, the Arkansas River, and Cottonwood Creek are major benefits of the River Run neighborhood. There is no public river access or vehicular access to South Main through this neighborhood, which keeps the traffic at a minimum. There is a HOA trail connecting the northern cul-de-sac with Ramsour Rd, which leads directly to South Main and hundreds of miles of trails and roads on the Whipple Trail Network and in the BLM Four Mile Recreation Area. Living in the River Run it is incredibly convenient to bike, hike, fish, and boat from your home.
