$999,900 | 731 Bellflower Road, Bayfield, CO 81122
3 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 4,650 Sq Ft | 13.48 Acres | 4-Car Detached Garage

Set on 13.48 acres in the Bellflower area of La Plata County, 731 Bellflower Road offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, and convenience in Southwest Colorado. Located off County Road 502 between Bayfield and Durango, this extensively updated home provides the privacy and breathing room of an acreage property while remaining within easy reach of two communities.

With 4,650 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a walkout lower level, oversized detached four-car garage, covered RV parking, and multiple areas for trailers and equipment, the property is designed for a lifestyle that extends well beyond the walls of the home.

A Southwest Colorado Home With Room to Spread Out

Acreage properties in the Bayfield and Durango areas can offer an appealing balance between rural surroundings and everyday accessibility. At 731 Bellflower Road, the 13.48-acre setting provides plenty of room for outdoor recreation, vehicles, equipment, gardening, and future personalization.

The property's Live/Work and Residential Single Family zoning provides the existing residential setting, while the expansive acreage creates flexibility for the next owner to make the property their own, subject to applicable county requirements and approvals.

The home itself has been extensively updated while retaining features that add warmth and character. Hardwood flooring, granite countertops, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and thoughtful storage solutions create a comfortable environment throughout the two-story layout.

Open-Concept Main-Level Living

The main level is centered around an open-concept floor plan that creates an inviting connection between the kitchen, dining, and living areas.

Natural light fills the space, while the surrounding wraparound deck and porch extend the living area outdoors. These spaces provide several options for morning coffee, entertaining friends, relaxing after a day outside, or simply enjoying the views and quiet surroundings.

A wood-burning stove adds a cozy focal point for colder months, while the outdoor areas provide an ideal place to enjoy Southwest Colorado's night skies.

The kitchen combines functionality with custom details, including:

• Real hardwood flooring
• Granite countertops
• Gas range
• Abundant cabinetry
• Walk-in pantry concealed behind a barn door
• Dedicated breakfast nook
• Coffee-prep area
• Generous storage

A full bathroom with a double vanity on the main level adds convenience and functionality to the home's layout.

A Private Primary Suite

Upstairs, the home's design becomes even more spacious.

Dramatic tongue-and-groove ceilings add architectural character while emphasizing the scale of the upper level. The primary suite occupies its own wing, providing a private retreat within the home.

The bedroom is large enough to incorporate a sitting area or additional private living space, creating flexibility beyond a traditional bedroom layout.

The oversized walk-in closet provides substantial storage, including extensive hanging space and an entire wall dedicated to shoes.

Additional guest bedrooms are generously sized and benefit from views enjoyed throughout the home.

Walkout Lower Level With Flexible Space

The walkout lower level adds another dimension to the property.

With concrete flooring, abundant storage, a built-in bar, hidden storage areas, and direct access to the hot tub area, the lower level can accommodate a variety of uses.

It could serve as a recreation space, hobby area, gathering room, home gym, storage area, or simply additional living space depending on the needs of the next owner.

The walkout design also makes moving between the indoor and outdoor spaces convenient.

Four-Car Garage and Exceptional Vehicle Storage

One of the property's standout features is the oversized detached four-car garage.

For homeowners who need more than a standard two-car garage, this space provides considerable flexibility for vehicles, equipment, workshops, recreational toys, or storage.

The garage has enough ceiling height to accommodate a vehicle lift and has previously been used as a home gym.

Additional covered RV parking provides dedicated protection for recreational vehicles, while the property has been thoughtfully configured for trailers and larger equipment.

A level pad at the bottom of the property offers another location for trailers, vehicles, or a guest camper. Near the home, a large turnaround makes it easier to maneuver and back trailers, recreational vehicles, or equipment.

For buyers searching for Bayfield Colorado acreage with RV parking, a large garage, and room for equipment, this setup is particularly noteworthy.

Outdoor Living on 13.48 Acres

The acreage surrounding 731 Bellflower Road provides space to enjoy the outdoors without requiring extensive landscape maintenance.

Much of the property is xeriscaped, reducing the amount of traditional landscaping required while maintaining attractive outdoor spaces around the home.

Raised garden beds provide space for gardening, while mature fruit and berry plantings add another layer of functionality to the property.

Existing plantings include:

• Pear trees
• Plum tree
• Blackberry bush
• Raspberry bush
• Raised garden beds
• Additional planting areas

The wraparound deck and porch create natural gathering areas, while the hot tub area provides another way to enjoy the property throughout the year.

For someone looking for Colorado acreage without an extensive landscaping commitment, the property's combination of usable outdoor areas and low-maintenance landscaping is an important advantage.

A Property Designed for an Active Colorado Lifestyle

Southwest Colorado attracts homeowners who want access to mountains, trails, lakes, rivers, forests, and open space. Having adequate storage and parking for the equipment that goes along with that lifestyle can be just as important as the home itself.

At 731 Bellflower Road, there is room for recreational vehicles, trailers, equipment, vehicles, and other outdoor gear.

The acreage also offers room to explore, relax, garden, and create outdoor spaces tailored to the owner's lifestyle.

Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a second home, or simply more space than an in-town property can provide, this property offers a different approach to Colorado living.

Living Between Bayfield and Durango, Colorado

One of the property's biggest advantages is its location.

731 Bellflower Road is situated in the Bellflower area between Bayfield and Durango, offering access to the amenities of both communities while maintaining an acreage setting.

Durango, located farther west, offers a larger collection of restaurants, shopping, entertainment, cultural attractions, professional services, and recreational opportunities. Historic downtown Durango is known for its walkable streets, locally owned businesses, restaurants, galleries, and connection to the Animas River.

Living between the two communities gives homeowners the opportunity to enjoy a quieter acreage setting without giving up convenient access to town.

Recreation Throughout Southwest Colorado

From the Bellflower area, residents have access to some of the region's most popular outdoor destinations.

Vallecito Lake is a well-known destination for boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and enjoying the surrounding San Juan Mountains. The broader area provides abundant opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, fishing, hunting, camping, and winter recreation.

The San Juan National Forest adds even more opportunities for outdoor exploration, while the mountains surrounding Durango and Bayfield provide year-round recreation.

For those who enjoy spending weekends outdoors, having a home base with substantial acreage, vehicle storage, RV parking, and room for equipment can make it easier to take advantage of everything Southwest Colorado has to offer.

Why 731 Bellflower Road Stands Out

There are several qualities that distinguish this property from a typical residential listing in the Bayfield area.

13.48 acres provides substantially more land than a conventional neighborhood property.

4,650 square feet offers generous living space across multiple levels.

Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provide a practical configuration for full-time living or hosting guests.

A four-car detached garage provides exceptional storage and workspace flexibility.

Covered RV parking and additional trailer/vehicle areas accommodate an active lifestyle.

A walkout lower level creates additional flexible space.

Extensive updates mean the home is ready for its next owner while still offering opportunities for personalization.

Low-maintenance landscaping allows more time to enjoy the property rather than maintaining extensive traditional lawns.

And perhaps most importantly, the property combines acreage privacy with a location between Bayfield and Durango.
