4 Bedroom House in Bayfield

Southwest Colorado Plain and Simple! This unique 2100 square foot home is nestled in a secluded mountain meadow, adorned with wildflowers, and surrounded by forests of Aspens and Spruce. The home sits on 11 acres directly bordering the San Juan National Forest and features a Private Fishing Pond, Hiking Trails, Mountain streams, and Mountain Views. With a proximal location to Vallecito Lake, it's a perfect place for a back to nature vacation where you can relax on a covered deck, paddle a canoe and fish on your own glassy pond, encounter a variety of wildlife, gaze into an endless starry night, and enjoy the crystal clear water and cool fresh air of Colorado mountain living.
The two-story house has 4 bedrooms/2.5 bathrooms, along with a comfortable living room with an incredible floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace with plenty of firewood.
