6074 County Road 243 Durango CO Real Estate

Own a piece of Lemon Lake history with this delightful cabin in the woods. Built in the 1950's to serve as the sales office for the Wilderness Lakes subdivision, this 613 square foot rustic cabin is privately situated on 5 acres of beautiful forest land with tall Ponderosa Pine and Aspen trees. The cozy cabin features two bedrooms, one downstairs and the other in the large loft. Many recent updates include a complete releveling of the foundation, new Quadra Fire fireplace insert, new tongue and groove aspen ceilings throughout, new picture window that perfectly frames the Colorado outdoors, upgraded electrical system, new exterior steel doors and a fantastic covered porch. The property does not currently have a source of water, but a new owner could drill a well and the property is served by an outhouse. There is a large shed and plenty of cut firewood for immediate enjoyment of this wonderful back to basics cabin in the woods. With easy year round access and Lemon Reservoir, the Florida River and over 1.8 million acres of San Juan National Forest right out your door, you can fish, paddle board, swim, kayak, hike, backpack, snowmobile or cross country ski right out your front door! All this and only a 30 minute drive to Historic Downtown Durango makes this the perfect location to take advantage of all the best Southwest Colorado has to offer.
