About this home
Step into a rare piece of Buena Vista’s architectural heritage at The Isabella House, a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully reimagined 1899 Victorian residence. Named in tribute to Isabella Bird - the pioneering 19th-century explorer whose writings captured the spirit of the Rocky Mountains. The Isabella House embodies that same sense of adventure, inviting owners and guests to live boldly in the heart of the Rockies she loved.
Spanning 3,425 square feet with five bedrooms and four bathrooms, this home balances timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Original double walled Salida brick exterior walls, original hardwood floors, artisanal hand-painted concrete floors, arched windows, built-ins, and elegant openings honor its turn-of-the-century construction, while updates such as in-floor radiant heat, Andersen windows, and modern renovations ensure everyday livability. The newly constructed 2023 attached apartment offers fully independent living with a private kitchen, bath, and entrance.
Set on a generous 0.16-acre corner lot, mature established trees - including a peach, cherry, and olive tree - along with thriving grapevines and vibrant perennial gardens, add layers of natural beauty, seasonal color, and a touch of old-world charm that complements the home’s Victorian heritage. Multiple porches and flexible gathering areas make outdoor living an effortless extension of the home’s warm, adventurous character.
The Isabella House places you in the heart of Buena Vista - just steps from historic Main Street and South Main. Adventure is always nearby: float, fish, or surf the Arkansas River just half a mile away, explore trails, play pickleball, soccer, or skate at the nearby skate park. From hunting and skiing to climbing 14ers, this is the perfect launchpad for everything Buena Vista has to offer.
A home of this size and historical significance - so meticulously maintained, thoughtfully updated, and ideally located - is a truly rare opportunity....
