Home Off Market

C: , jerome, /: Have you been looking for a place to get away from it all? This may just be the escape you are looking for. Located on over half an acre in a meadow surrounded by some of the largest pine trees in Southern Colorado and less than a half mile from unrestricted San Juan National Forest access to trails for hiking, mountain biking, or ATV excursions. This custom home is located in Sierra Verde Estates, built in 2018. It offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open floorplan, an abundance of natural light, and more than 1600 square feet of living space. There is central heat and air conditioning, custom picture windows, extra tall cabinets, custom master bathroom and a custom, uniquely hidden, walk-in pantry. Enjoy the custom 9 foot ceilings, upgraded 8 inch walls with extra insulation throughout, and roof engineered for 125 lbs of snow load ensuring that this home is air tight and built to La Plata County's stringent building standards. Entertain and relax on the walk out back deck with the privacy and seclusion unique to the home's placement. You will experience daily forest visitors on the game trail behind the home including deer, elk, wild turkeys, hummingbirds, blue jays, ravens, red fox, racoons, and the occasional shy black bear. This property is a blank slate with the convenience of a complete turn-key ready home, including all appliances, but still has plenty of room for expansion to add a guest home, garage, sheds, livestock, or workshop. There are several places on the property where an RV can be stored and with additional 220 hook up for the RV, work equipment, emergency generator and the like. The home is less than one mile to Lemon Reservoir access at Miller Creek Campgrounds and a scenic 20 minute drive to Vallecito Lake. Durango is a short 14 mile drive and Bayfield equally close at 15 milese out and see this one. It is worth the drive.
