Tucked among the trees in the sought-after Forrest Groves Estates community, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level log home offers 1,440 sq ft of true Colorado character with the ease of everyday living. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with sweeping mountain and valley views, accompanied by the gentle sound of the Florida River below. Inside, tongue-and-groove ceilings and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchor the open living, dining, and kitchen space, designed for both quiet mornings and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features solid stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous farmhouse sink, with a spacious laundry area, half bath, and utilities tucked conveniently behind. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines. The Trex deck and hot tub create an ideal space to relax or gather while taking in the surrounding views and river soundscape. The fully fenced yard is thoughtfully landscaped and bursting with perennial flowers all summer long (seasonal photo included to illustrate peak bloom), complemented by mature privacy trees and a storage shed. A large driveway provides level parking near the road with ample room for an RV, boat, or mountain gear, along with a detached two-car garage for added flexibility. Ownership includes Florida River access and fishing rights, with Lemon Reservoir, Vallecito Lake, and Durango just a short drive away. HOA covers water, sewer, trash, and snow removal, supporting a low-maintenance lifestyle. Quality construction. Thoughtfully maintained. The mountain home you've been looking for.
