Rare opportunity to own true lakefront property in coveted Sylvan Lakes! Nestled in the heart of Colorado's mountain paradise, this charming and beautifully maintained home sits right on the water, which is increasingly difficult to find in Lake County.
Freshly painted throughout, the home welcomes you with a warm mountain feel, vaulted ceilings, wood floors, granite countertops, and an inviting living area designed to capture the incredible waterfront scenery. Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the lake, spend afternoons casting a line from your backyard, and unwind each evening surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Rockies. The property features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,042 square feet of living space on a wooded 0.62-acre lot.
Waterfront homes like this are truly rare in Lake County. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being just minutes from Ski Cooper and Turquoise Lake; walking distance to the Colorado Trail, Slide Lake, and Holy Cross Wilderness Area; as well as having access to endless year-round mountain recreation. Despite the serene setting, you're only a short drive from downtown Leadville's dining, shopping, entertainment, and community events.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, mountain retreat, or investment opportunity, this special lakefront property offers the perfect combination of privacy, recreation, and Rocky Mountain living.
