A central Gathering Room with bar seating, bathroom, and streaming TV creates a natural space for groups, retreats, or shared experiences. Additional features include a shared laundry room, owner’s lock-off storage, a children’s playhouse with electricity, and a large heated metal barn/workshop offering ample space for equipment, storage, or future possibilities. River Place Retreat is a unique opportunity to own a meaningful stretch of Colorado riverfront—ideal for those seeking a property that blends lifestyle, flexibility, and long-term legacy.
