    Beautiful creekside mountain retreat just minutes from Vallecito Reservoir, where the soothing sounds of Grimes Creek create a truly serene setting. Nestled on a lush and usable 1.1-acre parcel, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the ideal blend of privacy, comfort, and Colorado lifestyle. The home and detached two-car garage are both finished with beautiful log siding, enhancing the classic mountain aesthetic and blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The spacious primary suite is a standout feature, measuring approximately 27’ x 17’, with private patio access, a large en-suite bath, and dual walk-in closets. The secondary bedroom is conveniently located near the main living area with access to a full Jack-and-Jill style bath, while the third bedroom is privately situated upstairs with southern-facing views. Designed to embrace the outdoors, a fully covered wraparound porch invites year-round enjoyment of fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings. The property features a charming pond with an island and antique tractor centerpiece, framed by scenic mountain ridgelines—creating a one-of-a-kind setting. The upgraded kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring granite countertops, a premium Sub-Zero glass-door refrigerator, an Ivation wine refrigerator, a Frigidaire Gallery range/oven, and a stainless Frigidaire dishwasher. A sliding glass door off the kitchen leads to outdoor dining along the creek, with a privately positioned hot tub and nearby firepit seating area—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the open-concept living area is anchored by a warm and inviting fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering space with easy access to the front porch. Additional highlights include new LVP flooring, a detached 2-car garage, fenced areas for animals, and ample parking for RVs, boats, and recreational vehicles. With short-term rental potential (per La Plata County guidelines), this property presents a compelling opportunity as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing mountain getaway. A rare opportunity to own a classic Colorado retreat in a highly desirable Vallecito location—schedule your private showing today.
