$1550 / 2.5br - Overlooks Lake Vallecito Near Durango / Bayfield (Lake Vallecito, Colorado) This redwood cabin is a 2.5 bedroom 1.5bath with 1/2 basement on one acre overlooking Lake Vallecito with good winter access. The 1/2 bedroom is partitioned off from the upstairs bedroom but doesn't have a door. It's perfect for the new mom with baby just behind that partition (see photos). Water is on a gravity spring fed community system. It's redwood tongue and groove with a large deck. Pet MAY BE acceptable and is negotiable depending on age, obedience, temperament and breed. The Hill Cabin has a wood burning fireplace stove insert that keeps the place real cozy, propane forced air heat if you prefer, and wall to wall carpeting except entry way, kitchen and downstairs full bath. The kitchen has an electric stove and self cleaning oven, refrigerator and dishwasher. The 1/2 basement has washer/dryer hookups and a workshop. The property is on one acre. It is nestled in the trees not far from Freeman Park and wilderness. There is an easy walk to the Lake down Ho-Hum and across CR 501. It is about 27 miles to Durango taking the Florida Rd cutoff and it is in the Bayfield School District. Bayfield is about 18 miles. Roads to town are maintained as the school buses are on them through the winter. Rent is approximately $1550 per month depending upon how many occupants, pets and your ability and desire to maintain the property. If you are handy it is a real plus and I can often find you a few hours of work around one of my rentals to help a little more with the rent. If you are not interested in mowing, watering, raking cones, weeding, shoveling snow from the deck, etc etc the rent is $1850. The deposit is dependent upon several factors including pets ages and breed, and employment. But with nearly new beige carpet we will see how much your trust your 4 legged friend. There is no smoking within the home or the basement/shop. There is no garage. Water is not metered and is $650 per year. If you want to see some beautiful country do a drive by of the Hill Home. The address is 17455 CR 501 or as some people call it 17455 Ho-hum Dr. Go to the north end of Lake Vallecito BEFORE the fork with CR 500 on County Road 501. Turn LEFT on Ho-hum Dr which is just BEFORE the Rocky Mountain Store and Resort on the right side of CR 501. Go up about ~200 yards and turn left again taking the upper driveway. The home has a red metal roof as shown in the photo. Please do not disturb the existing tenants. Someday this amazing setting may be yours and I am sure you would appreciate the same level of privacy. If you'd like to see the inside or have more questions, send an email to set up a time. IF YOU ARE REALLY INTERESTED in leasing please include your preferred move in date, if you will be commuting, and some information on yourself such as are you handy, employment, make and type of vehicle, if you prefer to get firewood or throw the switch, time in the area or lived in the mountains elsewhere, hobbies, number of people and pets with breed, number and ages. If you have any questions or concerns I have missed here please include those as well. Tenant pays unmetered water of $650 per year
