Beautiful large lot setting with Grimes Creek frontage on north end of Vallecito Lake. Enjoy peaceful afternoons on the large deck overlooking the creek under the towering evergreens with the rugged peaks of the San Juan Mountains in the background. A quiet neighborhood with direct access to the lake through a large park area, perfect for walking the dog! Enjoy the immense outdoor recreational opportunities that the San Juan National Forest offers including access to the Weminuche Wilderness, fishing, hunting, hiking and horseback trails. Vallecito is a bustling summer community but there are many year-round residents as well yet only minutes to historic Durango and Bayfield. The fishing is excellent with Rainbow and Brown trout, Kokanee Salmon, Northern Pike, Small Mouth bass and Walleye in the reservoir along with numerous trout streams in the area. In fact, the Kokanee run up the creek behind the house most every fall! This mountain contemporary home has been carefully maintained and is in excellent condition. The home has been upgraded including the addition of a new roof and nearly all new windows. It sits on 2 full size lots adding privacy and is very spacious with over 4500 SF in the main home.

Lots of storage including a 5-car garage, tack room & horse corrals and snowmobile shed. Owner works from home and has very good internet service.
