Learn more about this land: At River Side you will have an overlook of the Colorado River with river access. You will wake up to a breathtaking view of the river winding west towards the Anvil Points and Roan Plateau. The property is an easy 7 minute drive from old town New Castle where you can find a grocery store, gas and basic amenities. The town of New Castle is up and coming with several restaurants and a new local's favorite, Colorado Drifters Coffee and Fly shop. You can rent paddle boards, and book guided fishing trips on the river right there. A 20 minute drive from New Castle you can find a popular lake called Harvey Gap. The lake is great for paddle boarding and fishing. Ten minutes away from Harvey Gap is another beautiful area called Rifle Falls which is truly a hidden gem. Climbing and rafting are also available up Canyon. There are many great hikes around the area. Our favorite is Rifle Arch which is about 25 minutes away right outside of the town of Rifle. New Castle has mountain biking trails everywhere and is home to some of the best mountain biking trails in the Roaring Fork Valley. Glenwood Springs is 11 miles away and is the home of the famous hot springs. Aspen is about an hour from our property.  Please note our home is located on this property as well. You will have an OPEN (no trees) grassy flat spot to the right of our home that overlooks the river with a view. Just realize you also have a view of our backyard to your west.  Due to very high fire danger on the Western Slope we kindly ask you to refrain from using a fire while staying on our property. Please clean up after yourselves, your dogs, and be respectful of noise.  Campers or self contained bathrooms are best. We ask that you come prepared and bring your own bathroom at this time.  Please message or call when you arrive at our property. We are happy to answer any of your questions.

The view of the mountains and river is great. The host gave us space even though we were close to the house. This location put us 30 minutes from two bucket list hiking locations and 10 minutes from a hot spring! The site put us in the perfect place to quickly reach what we wanted. Walking down to the river was also very nice!

Joe was communicative and accommodating. Beautiful view over the CO River and 5 minutes off I-70. Would recommend this place as a stopover!
