What a spot for your primary residence or "chalet" get away. This spacious and bright 2 bedroom (used to be used as a 3 bedroom and could be 3 again- septic is currently permitted for a 3 bedroom), 3 bathroom home is nestled on 5.5 lush private acres with tall pines and aspens. It's a true Colorado mountain retreat. Enjoy thousands of acres of National Forest and Wilderness (San Juan/Weminuche) as well as streams, a reservoir and lake (Lemon/Vallecito) just minutes from your front door and still have a Durango address! It's the perfect location for outdoor adventurers of all kinds or seekers of peace and solitude. Wood Pella windows frame the tranquil setting. Hardwood floors and a large rock fireplace make the great room a perfect gathering space during all seasons. The fireplace is wood burning but has a recent electric insert. You can choose what you like best. The open kitchen/living area leads to an enormous trex deck with built in seating. It is perfect for entertaining and soaking in the surroundings. The bright master features vaulted ceilings and the full master bath has a jetted tub with separate shower. On top of all that, there is a family room/artist studio/office (could be the 3rd bedroom) with its own entrance as well as a cozy loft lounge. Every window looks upon nature with no neighbors to be seen. The owners have installed a service elevator that will hold 430lbs for added convenience. There is also a fenced and gated area for pets. A really nice 2017 shed for extra storage, the carport canopy tent and deck greenhouse will be included with an acceptable offer. A radon mitigation system and monitor has been installed. The septic has been inspected and is ready for transfer. Wilderness Lakes Mountain Estates is comprised of homes that show pride of ownership and has good year round access. This well constructed and lovingly maintained home is a fantastic value and rare find! This property is 30 or so minutes to Durango yet has quite a remote feel. Please note that CR 243 will be chip sealed to the cattle guard in the fall. The road from the cattle guard to Wilderness Lakes subdivision has areas that are washboard right now. It is on the county plans for grading.
