This special home is located just north of Vallecito Lake. If you are looking for that one-of-a-kind property with live water, mature trees, privacy and San Juan National Forest access right around the corner this is the place for you! This custom log home is fronting on East Grimes Creek in the Pine River Valley just off of CR 501. The home was built in 2006 and offers a large open floor plan with an exceptional great room featuring a two story rock fireplace and custom woodwork throughout. The main level primary suite is inviting with room for a private siting area in addition to a king size bedroom set. The ensuite bathroom has dual vanities, a walk-in tile shower and a large cedar lined walk-in closet. A separate powder room with washer and dryer round out the main level. Upstairs features two large guest bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms in each and a bonus room that could be a 4th bedroom, den or office. The interior of the home is finished out very nicely: granite counters in the kitchen, custom cabinetry, GE Cafe Stainless Appliances, dual fuel gas range and oven, hardwood flooring in the main living area, and custom woodwork throughout the home provide the ultimate mountain feel. Other upgrades include a whole house water filtration system, water softener, Hunter Douglas window treatments and is being offered turn key with all furniture. The home lives like your very own private park: two separately platted lots combine to make up the 2/3 acre property. Grimes Creek flows along the west side of the property and large spruce and aspen trees provide great shade for warm afternoons. Professional landscaping with full yard sprinkler and drip irrigation system to the flowerbeds make maintenance a breeze. There are two water wells that service the property for additional water! Stone walkways flow throughout the yard leading to two flagstone patios (one with built in firepit) make great outside living areas. The detached 2 car garage is not to be overlooked and features 2nd story storage, workshop with Husky built-in cabinetry and plumbing in place to add another bathroom if desired. Some additional features include full RV Hookups with 50 Amp service, gas piped to back porch for a BBQ grill, 20 KW standby generator, sealed crawlspace, privacy fence on two sides and central sewer. Access to the San Jaun National Forest via a short walk makes this a great basecamp for hunting GMU 751 where bull elk tags are issued over the counter and mule deer buck tags usually only take 2 to 3 preference points depending on the season. The home is located less than 3 miles from the Vallecito Marina and a short 30-minute drive to Durango. No HOA means short term rentals are allowed or you can make this your private year-round residence - either way you won't be disappointed in this property.
