A1-zoned condo approved for short-term rentals with the added advantage of self-management. Although it is not currently operated as a rental, a trusted manager overseeing a neighboring unit reports gross income of approximately $75,000 per year. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath end-unit condo is quietly set in the Bear Creek area and has been enjoyed as a true outdoor retreat, especially well suited for someone who loves spending time on the river. Located within an intimate six-unit riverfront community, the setting is framed by mature pines and the calming presence of flowing water, creating a peaceful and private atmosphere. Outdoor living shines here with a generous yard, an oversized deck, and a shared picnic space that invites morning coffee, post-fishing downtime, or relaxed evenings outdoors. Inside, the condo is well positioned to function as a personal mountain getaway or a high-performing investment property. Just a short walk to Wapiti Restaurant and downtown Estes Park, and only minutes from the Fall River Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, this property offers an easy blend of nature, convenience, and laid-back mountain living.
