Property Description

The privacy of acreage. The simplicity of Forest Lakes. This single-level home is uniquely positioned on a one-acre lot surrounded by buffer parcels, creating a rare sense of space, privacy, and quiet that lives more like six acres—without the maintenance or added cost. Combined with central water (a meaningful advantage in this area), this is a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking both value and livability in Forest Lakes. Inside, the layout is simple, functional, and filled with natural light. The open-concept great room features a cathedral ceiling and a wood stove that adds warmth and character, while the kitchen offers generous storage, granite countertops, and an easy connection to the main living and dining areas—designed for everyday use as much as entertaining. The primary suite is set apart for privacy, with a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, and en suite bath with dual sinks and a tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the opposite side of the home, creating a comfortable separation of space for guests or work-from-home needs. A true mudroom/laundry area connects directly to the attached two-car garage—ideal for Durango-area living and all the gear that comes with it. Outside, the fully fenced backyard and deck provide space to relax, entertain, or accommodate pets. The southwest-facing driveway helps with snow melt in winter—one of those small but meaningful daily advantages. Forest Lakes residents enjoy access to Lake Simpatico for fishing and non-motorized recreation, along with maintained roads, snow removal, water, and community amenities—all included through the metro district. Short-term rental potential (subject to county guidelines) adds flexibility for owners looking to offset costs or generate income, making this not just a place to live—but a property that can work for you. Located just a short drive to Vallecito Reservoir, Lemon Reservoir, and surrounding public lands, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, usability, and access to everything Southwest Colorado has to offer.
