Property Description

Perched on approximately one acre overlooking beautiful Vallecito Reservoir, this inviting mountain retreat captures breathtaking panoramic views of Vallecito Reservoir and the surrounding mountains while offering the Colorado lifestyle buyers dream about. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or an investment property with excellent short-term rental potential, this fully furnished cabin (excluding the outdoor patio furniture) is ready to enjoy from day one. Offering over 1,700 square feet of comfortable living space, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with a thoughtfully designed floor plan. The main level includes a spacious living room centered around a cozy wood-burning stove, an adjoining kitchen with abundant cabinetry, tile countertops, a center island, and an open connection to the dining area, along with a bedroom and full bathroom for convenient main-level living. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a versatile loft area that is perfect for a reading nook, home office, or additional sleeping space. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing beautiful views of Vallecito Reservoir and the surrounding mountains. The spacious deck extends the living space outdoors, providing the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining family and friends, or simply relaxing while enjoying the peaceful mountain setting. Unlike many properties surrounding Vallecito Reservoir, the approximately one-acre parcel is predominantly flat and usable, providing room for outdoor recreation, gardening, or future improvements. The lower level features a two-car garage with abundant storage space, making it ideal for mountain bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear, ATVs, snowmobiles, tools, or a workshop. With year-round access, no HOA, a durable metal roof, and ample parking, this property offers both flexibility and convenience for full-time living or weekend escapes. Located just 0.4 miles from lakeside dining and the Rocky Mountain General Store and only 2.8 miles from Vallecito Marina, you'll enjoy quick access to boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, swimming, and endless days on the water. The surrounding San Juan National Forest offers miles of hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, ATV adventures, and exceptional hunting opportunities. Just down the road, multiple trailheads provide access to the Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado's largest designated wilderness area encompassing nearly 500,000 acres of pristine alpine lakes, rugged peaks, forests, and endless hiking and backpacking trails. During the winter months, the area transforms into a playground for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and peaceful mountain escapes. Frequent sightings of deer, elk, wild turkeys, black bears, and bald eagles further enhance the experience of mountain living. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, a peaceful retreat, or a place to create lasting memories with family and friends, this exceptional property offers an affordable opportunity to own a piece of one of Southwest Colorado's premier recreational destinations, all just approximately 35 minutes from historic downtown Durango.
