Property Description
Discover this amazing mountain home tucked away on a quiet road and situated on a rare two acre lot in Forest Lakes. The spacious main level features vaulted T&G walls and ceilings with exposed wood beams, laminate wood floors, and a Grizzly wood stove. Big picture windows let in lots of natural light and frame the panoramic views, which are also accessible from the large wrap around covered deck. Cooking will be a breeze with ample counter space and cabinetry with bar top seating and additional dining space just steps away. The primary suite is located on the main level for convenience and includes a private, updated bathroom with granite countertops and walk-in shower. Downstairs provides a large living area with a walk-out patio, one large bedroom, large office, a full bath, and a laundry room with a utility sink. Above the oversized two car garage (heated & electric outlets), a one bed/one bath apartment is ideal for guests, a mother-in-law suite, flexible workspace, or short term rental. It has a separate entrance, kitchenette, and woodstove. Outside, there's a fenced dog run, hot tub pad (hot tub excluded from sale), and landscaping that doubles as fire mitigation. The paved driveway offers plenty of extra parking as well as access to a storage shed. This home is equipped with propane forced air heat, electric heat, central water, and a septic system. Forest Lakes is a well-run metro district (no HOA) minutes from downtown Bayfield, Vallecito Reservoir, Lemon Reservoir, backs to National Forest and BLM land, and has its own private Lake Simpatico for residents and guests to use. The metro district provides superior road maintenance, snow plowing, and central water. Ready for full-time residence, a vacation home, or as an investment opportunity - don't miss out on this custom mountain retreat!
