Come live in the forest of the breathtaking San Juan Mountains! Perfect buildable one acre lot set amongst the towering pines. Gentle sloping that lends itself to a mountain home with a walk out basement. This lot has been fully fire mitigated, has a roughed in drive, and set near the end of a very quiet cul de sac with no thru traffic. The property is in the Forest Lakes community, with no HOA, but yet offers WATER connection, along with electric & gas. The metro district for the community also maintains roads year round, and the community has a private lake for fishing, paddle boarding, & canoeing, multiple hiking trails, and a park for the kids. This property is steps from the trail to the National Forest at the end of the cul de sac, which offers hiking and hunting to thousands of acres. Also unique to this lot is it backs up to open space that will never be built on! You are approximately 9 miles to the town of Bayfield, 12 miles to the beautiful Vallecito Reservoir with fantastic fishing, boating & water sports, 35 minutes to Durango and a commercial airport, 55 minutes to snow skiing at Purgatory, and 1 hour to Pagosa Springs- home of the healing waters of the deepest natural Hot Springs! Take advantage of the limitless outdoor activities that surround you, and the incredible nature & wildlife in your own yard! Deer, turkey, and chipmunks are your frequent guests.
