561 Ellington Ln, Bayfield, CO 81122

One of the most exceptional log accented homes in La Plata County! This home was custom built for the owners 17 years ago and the only reason they are selling is because their children all live on the East Coast now. The home looks and operates as if it is virtually new as it has been meticulously maintained. The views of Vallecito Lake from this very private and almost secret location are phenomenal. Views from the living area, kitchen, every bedroom and the spacious covered deck area are wonderful. Looking at the peaks in the Weminuche wilderness, the long views of the lake itself, and the privacy of the healthy forest that surrounds the home makes this home the ideal get away. There is a detached oversized two car garage with an upstairs loft providing excellent storage. Reclaimed antique heartwood pine floors enhance the homes warmth. The river rock fireplace and Vermont Castings woodstove in the kitchen provide ambience as well as a fine source of heat. Nice natural landscaping also enhances the entry to the fine home with a custom entry door. This home is ideal for a family vacation retreat or possibly multiple family ownership. With over 3,320 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and a large family room that can accommodate even more guests, there is plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor recreationalist will enjoy the proximity to lake to enjoy watersports such as fishing and sailing along with the wonderful hiking trails, mushroom hunting, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and more. The gated entry adds to the privacy and security and there is an alarm system as well.
