River Run at Spanish Peaks is unique and special to the area. It offers spacious lots (.7 to 1.3 acres), many on the Cuchara River and all with access to the river on the reserved open space. Cuchara’s first new development in over 20 years, the area is features underground utilities in most areas and access to sewer and water services through the Cucharas Sanitation & Water District. Telecommunications are through Centurytel, who  offers voice, DSL (1.5 mbps) and Dish Network bundles.

Between the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and the West Spanish Peak, nestled high in the serenity of Cuchara River Valley, you’ll find River Run. A part of the unspoiled Colorado southern Front Range, we’re only about 30 minutes off I-25, with no mountain passes to cross. San Isabel National Forest is just a few minutes away and access to the Spanish Peaks Wilderness Area is just a 20 minute drive.

A large portion of River Run was part of the Spanish Peaks Campground & RV Park that hosted many families for decades beginning in the 1970s. Fond memories of those wonderful experiences at this destination property have been related by many folks.

The Cuchara area boasts a wildlife habitat that is home to deer, elk, black bear, bighorn sheep, turkey, bobcat, mountain lion, fox, coyote, ermine, lynx, beaver and other native species. Numerous trails lace throughout the mountainsides in the region and a 4-wheel drive road to the saddle of Trinchera Peak (elevation 13,517 ft.) takes you to an area where you can view bighorn sheep in summer and fall. The West Spanish Peak summit (elevation 13,626 ft.) may be reached by a trailhead at the Wilderness Area. At 9,150 feet, River Run at Spanish Peaks provides wonderful views of the moon, stars and even the Milky Way as there are dark skies and little light pollution.

River Run at Spanish Peaks has been developed by two Coloradoans who have been a part of Cuchara for decades. Their understanding of the area has inspired them to create something that is different and captures the best of Cuchara Valley and Colorado mountain dreams.
