Salida CO Homesites for Sale: Introducing Cleora at Salida East

If you've been searching for Salida, CO homesites for sale, there's a new opportunity worth knowing about. Cleora at Salida East is one of the most exciting master-planned communities to hit the Arkansas Valley in years, and homesites are now officially available.

Whether you've dreamed of building a custom mountain home, want more flexibility than a typical subdivision allows, or you're simply looking for land in Salida with infrastructure already in place, Cleora is designed to make that possible. Here's everything you need to know.

What Is Cleora at Salida East?

Cleora at Salida East is a new master-planned residential community located just minutes from downtown Salida. With community infrastructure already installed and construction underway on both 3D-printed and SIP-built homes, Cleora represents the next phase of opportunity in one of the region's newest developments.

What sets it apart is flexibility. Rather than locking buyers into a single builder or a handful of cookie-cutter floor plans, Cleora homesites give you options:

• Work with one of Cleora's approved builders

• Use professionally engineered home plans developed specifically for the community

• Design a fully custom home that aligns with Cleora's architectural standards

  
  

That kind of flexibility is rare in new residential developments, most master-planned communities require you to build within a narrow set of pre-approved designs. At Cleora, you can build a home that's actually yours, on a timeline that works for you.

Salida CO Homesites for Sale: What's Available Now

Homesites at Cleora are available now, giving buyers the chance to secure a lot today and build whenever they're ready. Each homesite offers:

• Proximity to downtown Salida  just minutes away, without sacrificing space or privacy

• 20+ acres of dedicated open space woven throughout the community

• Direct access to trails and public lands, including the Salida Mountain Trail System

• Nearby Arkansas River access for fishing, rafting, and riverside recreation

• Sweeping mountain views across the valley

• Community infrastructure already installed, including roads, utilities, and Chaffee County's first 3D-printed metro district

  
  

That last point matters more than it might seem. Buying land where infrastructure is already in place removes one of the biggest hurdles, and biggest unknowns, in building a custom home. You're not waiting on roads or utilities to catch up; the groundwork is already done.

Modern, Southwest-Inspired Design Meets Colorado Living

Architecturally, Cleora draws on modern Southwest-inspired design,  clean lines, natural materials, and forms that feel at home against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristo and Collegiate Peaks. Combined with the community's focus on trail access, river proximity, and open space, Cleora is built around a simple idea: everyday life should include the outdoors, not just a view of it.

A Community Backed by Real Progress

Cleora isn't just a concept on paper, it's actively under construction. The community's first home, built by True North, Cleora's dedicated 3D-printing general contractor, is currently underway, with the shell expected to be completed this fall. Two autonomous 3D-printing systems, developed in partnership with RIC Robotics, are already operating on site.

In fact, Cleora is being recognized nationally as one of the largest planned 3D-printed residential communities in the country, a 172-door neighborhood spanning 106 homesites, designed to prove that robotic construction technology can work at real community scale, not just as a one-off demonstration project. Mile High CRE recently covered the development, highlighting Cleora's partnership with Colorado Mountain College to train the next generation of construction professionals in robotics and 3D-printing technology.

For buyers, this matters: it means Cleora isn't a speculative development waiting on funding or approvals. Infrastructure is in, homes are being built, and momentum is real.
