Immaculate, Telluride inspired home on 1.16 acre Ponderosa Pine covered  lot in a well-cared-for subdivision.  You have neighbors but it won't feel that way. This three level home has 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. It  features a vaulted, tongue and groove pine ceiling and plenty of natural light throughout the home. (Important North light, if you are an artist.)  Enjoy the fantastic views of the Pine River Valley from the deck, sunroom or spacious loft. The owners had numerous upgrades and special features installed that are typical in homes of much higher value; the wood windows with artistic grills; an elastomeric ice and water shield over the entire roof beneath the pro-panel; 4 zone in floor radiant heat powered with a high-efficiency boiler; completely paved driveway; wooden ceilings; a dual fuel Jenn-Air range; a 1000 gallon buried propane tank, to name just a few. Bayfield-Forest Lakes home for sale

MAIN LEVEL features a great room with a Napoleon wood burning stove that will easily keep you and yours warm on those cold winter nights. Access the Trex deck from the dining room and the sunroom. You will love to prepare meals in this magnificent kitchen that will be the center of attraction when all your friends come over to watch a game or play cards. Bar-B-Que on your gas fired Jenn-Air Dual-Fuel range and leave the clean-up to the Miss Jenn-Air dishwasher. The kids or grand kids can help make cookies at the eating bar made from Corian. Plenty of hickory cabinets and a large walk-in pantry. The master bedroom is also on the main floor with his and hers sinks and whirlpool tub in the en-suite. An enchanting sun room offers year around growing. The current owners even have a lemon tree in there currently. How would you like to grow your own tomatoes 12 months a year? Make sure you have a grill since there is propane/gas stub awaiting on the deck for all your many cookouts. There will be no eye-sore here with your buried 1000 gallon propane tank. All bathrooms in this home have brushed nickel fixtures, custom shower doors and water efficient toilets. TOP LEVEL Above the main floor awaits an over-sized loft large enough for a pool table, ping pong table or exercise room. There are hickory hardwood floors and slate tile throughout the entire house; wall to wall carpet has been used sparingly. This is a very spacious home with a large WALK-OUT LOWER LEVEL. There is plenty of room downstairs for all the kids or visitors with the large family room, full bathroom and two more sizable bedrooms. One of the downstairs bedrooms has a walk in closet and french doors opening onto the back patio area.  This home is extremely well built and made to last.  There is blown-in insulation in the walls increasing the R-Factor, Maxxon Therma Floor covering (Gypcrete) on main level and the lower-level slab is insulated to keep the in-floor heating in the home and not seeping into the ground. The Pro-Panel roof is completely covered underneath with ice and water shield. The outside of this home is built with vertical exterior cedar siding and corrugated metal. There is a new paved circular driveway for ease and convenience as well as a large concrete area outside the garage for RV parking.  This property has central water and an engineered septic has been installed. This home is a great opportunity for any one desiring a well built, custom home in a family neighborhood, with no HOA but a well functioning metro district that keeps the roads maintained year-round.  Even part of your property taxes will go back to the metro district for care of your community. It is also peace of mind to know there is a fire hydrant right across from this home. It is all here and ready for you.

34 years of successfully selling Durango Colorado real estate certainly qualifies me as having seen just about everything. There have been funny moments "What do you mean you're going to cash my earnest money check?" And there have been serious moments where we completed a short sale just hours before the foreclosure sale was to occur. My greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that we have the expertise and are able to help those people in what is usually the largest financial transaction of their life. One of our clients once said "We sure are glad that you were at the helm of the ship steering our transaction. A little gray hair behind the ears of the 'captain' sure made these passengers feel safer."
