Planning land you own in Chaffee County?

Community pad leases differ from owning a lot with a permitted backyard ADU. If you also own land (Florida addresses get an instant preview in buildability chat), start there before you commit to a park lease.

Pads & tenancy snapshot

Operator-owned and resident-owned park model tiny homes (~399 sq ft) on leased sites within a luxury RV resort. RV long-stay sites also available—BYO THOW policy not advertised; park model pathway is primary tiny housing offer.

Park model tiny homes available for purchase (~$115k–$200k+) with monthly lot rent ~$648/mo including water, sewer, trash, snow removal, and landscaping (2026 listings). Vacation rentals also offered—confirm long-term residency vs hospitality booking with office.

Stewardship disclosures

Luxury RV resort with park model tiny home neighborhood—distinct from the rejected Agastache Village proposal elsewhere in Salida. Confirm whether BYO THOW pad leases are offered vs park-model purchase/rental only before applying.

Operators update rules frequently. Confirm recorded covenants, county zoning, HOA restrictions, occupancy rules, and insurance requirements for your home type before you move.

Want to know what your parcel can support?

Community lots, backyard ADUs, and raw land each follow different rules. We run a parcel-specific review—zoning, setbacks, utilities, flood exposure, and the dwelling-vs-RV path—before you buy land or order a unit.
