Property Description
Ahhh...welcome to your contemporary cabin in the woods and a breath of fresh mountain air! This lovely well maintained 1,660 square foot contemporary cabin set among the tall Pines and sparkling Aspen on 5 forested acres is the Durango retreat you've been looking for. Welcome to Wilderness Lake Mountain Estates east of Durango, CO and surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest and San Juan/ Weminuche Wilderness! Conveniently located 30 minutes to Durango, 30 minutes to Bayfield and close to Lemon Reservoir, Vallecito Lake and other area streams. A spacious covered deck greets you and guides you to the entry. Stepping into the great room you immediately take in the vaulted tongue and groove Pine ceiling, big windows and wash of natural light. A cozy river rock wood burning stove warms the space and welcomes. On the main level are two guest bedrooms with newer luxury vinyl "wood" floors, full bath, laundry, kitchen, dining area, living space and a wrap around deck. The kitchen features include 2 Lazy Susans, pull out pantry drawers, Whirlpool refrigerator with ice and water in the door, Whirlpool dishwasher, Kenmore range/oven and hood. Upstairs includes a loft / flex space and the primary suite with vaulted ceiling and beautiful views. Enjoy the outdoors with 456 square feet of covered deck and a 380 square foot open deck great for dining and entertaining. A generous portion (appx 1 acre) of the yard is fully fenced and ideal for doggies. Just beyond the east fence line you'll find chokecherries and raspberries! In addition to the attached 2 car garage, there is also a 576 square foot outbuilding perfect for additional storage for firewood, equipment and those mountain toys. Refrigerator, dishwasher, electric water heater and water softener are new in 2023/2024. Sellers have been diligent about annual fire mitigation measures. There is Hi Speed Starlink internet and a radon mitigation system in place. The septic was inspected Oct. 8, 2024. The subdivision is bounded to the North and East by U.S. Forest Service lands. Recreation on public lands in the area plays a large role in the community: fishing, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, hunting, camping, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling and star gazing! A slice of heaven in the San Juans!
