Vallecito Lake/Bayfield, CO 81122
Description
Location, location, location! Overlooking Lake Vallecito, this mountain cabin offers an inviting opportunity to enjoy one of Southwest Colorado’s most scenic lake settings. Built in 1951, the home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 672 square feet, situated on .31 acres with beautiful lake views and convenient year-round access. The property is being sold as-is, yet remains functional and livable, offering the option for a buyer to move in and enjoy it now while completing cleaning, updates, or improvements over time. This makes it well suited for those seeking a manageable mountain retreat with potential, rather than a full renovation project. A large natural rock formation helps shield the property from highway noise and adds unique character, with the potential to become a beautiful rock garden or landscaped feature. The setting feels private while still offering easy access to nearby amenities. Vallecito Lake is a renowned recreation area offering boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and winter activities, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the San Juan Mountains. The home is located near outdoor access areas and hiking trails, ideal for daily walks and adventure, and benefits from easy winter access to the highway. Outside of real estate contracts the ATV and trailer are also for sale. According to the 2024 FEMA Floodplain map on the La Plata County GIS website this property is not in a floodplain.
