20 Forrest Groves Ln, Durango, CO 81301

Log Cabin on the Florida River - (Sale Pending). A rare opportunity to have direct river frontage (on an active part of the river) and an alpine setting for less than $500,000. A unique log cabin on the active part of the Florida River ideally located between Durango (8 miles) and both the Vallecito and Lemon Reservoirs (4 and 10 miles, respectively). The nearly half acre lot is amazing with a river running through the backyard, mountain views and large flat front yard. This cabin blends an alpine setting with the spirit of rustic construction (but with recent updates). A wood stove in the living room is ideal to take the chill off a cool night. Sleeping accommodations include a king size bed in the main cabin bedroom, as well as a separate guest quarters with two twin beds and a half bathroom. The property is available fully furnished. The river releases from Lemon Lake (just 8 minutes from the cabin) toward Durango. During spring and summer, the Florida River runs high due to snow melt. During fall and winter the release is slowed (see pictures). Each season is beautiful. The location within the Forrest Groves HOA gives you city amenities (water, trash, sewer service and "Treasure Island", a private HOA park) but with a remote location feel. You don't have to worry about wells, septic, individual trash contracts or snow removal to get that mountain living feel. All these amenities make for an easy "lock and leave" lifestyle. The property sits at an elevation of nearly 7800'. Fishing along the river is allowed or you can make a short drive to Lemon Lake (8 minutes) or Vallecito Lake (15 minutes) for other water activities. With paved roads (CR 240) all the way to the subdivision, the cabin provides for year-round living. The property is currently set up as a successful vacation rental to provide additional income when not in use by the owners. Whether sitting out on the deck just feet from the river or in the cabin, enjoy the fantastically relaxing sounds of the river and the serene views of the mountains and pines.
