Custom built in mountain style and on live water (!).... this beautiful log sided home provides everything you need for year-round or seasonal Colorado living.

The living room, with a cathedral ceiling and tall windows highlighting the recently refinished Hickory hardwood floor, focuses around the large river-rock stone fireplace with an economical wood-burning insert. This area flows into the open kitchen showcasing new quartz countertops and island seating. There is also an adjacent dining area plus a slider to the enclosed sunporch, with a separate gas heater for al fresco style dining, to enjoy the view of the spring fed natural pond and access out to the flagstone patio and Boletus Creek. ~ ~ ~ The spacious primary suite is also on the main level with full height ceilings, its own gas fireplace and a large, ensuite full bath with jetted tub and walk-in closet. Another bedroom is on the upper level, via a staircase where the great room ceiling vaults up into a family room/office space which overlooks the living room. The separate second bedroom, with pond side views, and full bath are also on this level. New carpet in both bedrooms and family room ~ ~ ~ The third bedroom is accessed through the utility room and above the oversized, insulated, two car attached garage/shop.

The perfect spot for family or guests, they might never leave! ~ ~ ~ The home is on central water and sewer and has been meticulously maintained with a new high efficiency propane furnace in 2023 for the forced air heat and other updates including the conversion to a Navien on-demand water heater. The grounds around the home are attractively but naturally landscaped amongst the towering blue spruce trees, and there is a flagstone back patio and garden beds surrounding the pond. From the covered entry deck on the front of the home you can relax and enjoy distant mountain views to the north. With Vallecito Lake only minutes away in either direction and being surrounded by the San Juan National Forest and the Weminuche Wilderness area there are more trail and year-round recreation options than can be listed.
