Our story

Two Lifties and a Long Dream

John Porter and Meaghan Richmond met working the lifts in Breckenridge during their first winter in Colorado in 2008. Over the last decade, they've built a business partnership on top of what matters most: they are best friends.

In 2016 they purchased this land outside Salida with the intention to subdivide it. In 2022 they formed Archery Lane LLC, which owns and is developing Divided Sky Estates. Ten years later, they are excited to be finalizing one of their dreams and opening the gate to the neighbors who will build here with them next.

The town

About Salida

Salida sits in a wide, sunny bend of the Arkansas River in the heart of the Rockies. Locals call this stretch of the valley the banana belt for its mild, sun-heavy climate, and the views run straight up into the Collegiate Peaks of the Sawatch Range.

View from the deck on Lot 8 across the neighborhood to the Collegiate Peaks under a blue sky — The neighborhood on a bluebird day: Salida's fourteeners, peaks over 14,000 feet, and the Collegiate Peaks, seen from the deck on Lot 8.

Trails Out the Door

Methodist Mountain rises right behind the neighborhood, with more than twenty miles of trails you can ride or hike straight from your house. No trailhead drive, no parking lot, just out the door and climbing.

Historic Downtown

Downtown Salida is one of Colorado's largest National Historic Districts, block after block of brick storefronts filled with galleries, restaurants, and shops. It has earned its reputation as an arts town.

The Arkansas River

The river runs right through town, with a whitewater park downtown for kayaking, surfing, and tubing, and gold-medal fishing water up and down the valley.

Skiing and S Mountain

Monarch Mountain is a short drive up the pass for deep, uncrowded skiing. In town, S Mountain rises straight from the river with trails you can ride or hike from downtown.

Hot Springs

Soak options run deep here: the Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center in town, Mount Princeton Hot Springs near Buena Vista, and Cottonwood Hot Springs up Cottonwood Pass road.

Buena Vista

Salida's neighbor up the valley is about 25 minutes north, with its own river park, restaurants, and trailheads into the Collegiate Peaks.

Getting Here

Denver is roughly two and a half to three hours away, close enough for a city run, far enough that the night sky still gets properly dark.
