Big views, a great location, and a proven rental history make this Estes Park home a rare find. The light-filled great room frames dramatic views of Longs Peak and the surrounding Continental Divide, and those views carry out to the deck and into the primary suite, where you wake up to the mountains from a king-sized bed. Even better, the sale includes a second, unbuildable lot that protects those views for the long haul. This 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers 2,091 square feet and comfortably sleeps eight. It has been nicely updated, and the kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and wood cabinetry. It opens to a dining area with mountain views. A cozy reading nook with built-in shelving adds a quiet place to unwind. An attached two-car garage and a storage shed give you room for vehicles, bikes, and mountain gear. The location is hard to beat. The home sits right next to the Fish Creek walking and biking trail, which connects to much of the Estes Valley. Lake Estes and the Estes Park golf course are close by. Downtown is about 5 minutes away, The Stanley Hotel about 7, and Rocky Mountain National Park roughly 20. For investors and second-home buyers, the home is sold furnished and comes with a transferable Town of Estes Park short-term rental license. That's a real advantage in a market where new licenses are limited. It has operated as a successful vacation rental with excellent guest reviews, so it's turnkey from day one. Use it yourself, rent it out, or do both. Whether you want a mountain retreat, an income property, or a mix of the two, Sunburst Cabin is ready to go.
