Property Description
Furnished, STR-friendly waterfront home represents a rare opportunity to own a slice of alpine paradise in Vallecito. Stylish home on the quiet back side of Vallecito Lake with rare water-front Vallecito Creek frontage and no HOA. This well-lit three-bed, two-bath retreat offers both comfort and versatility, with a layout that works beautifully as a primary residence, vacation home, or income-producing property. The lock-off loft, complete with a pool table, and private entrance, has a history as a short-term rentals, and the tiny home near the creek is ideal for guests or additional income. An insulated shed provides a perfect hobby space, gym or overflow storage, and three additional outbuildings offer room for tools, gear, and outdoor vehicles such as ATVs. Large windows on the lower level fill the home with natural light, while the expansive deck features a concealed hot tub for relaxing evenings under the pines. Follow the steps down to a riverfront fire pit for peaceful mornings or summer nights by the water. Importantly, the property is NOT located in a designated FEMA flood zone, offering peace of mind rarely found with waterfront homes. The property is just 0.5 miles from the 19.5-mile Vallecito Trail, which leads directly into the Weminuche Wilderness and offers exceptional access to hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation. This unique property blends mountain charm with practical flexibility. Photos taken in 2023 and June 2026.
