Listing Expires Soon. Living by a lake can't be fully explained, but if you love photography, birds & more birds, sunrises/sets, the ability to walk in nature & find joy and peace each day...definitely explore this option! You'll wanna take off your shoes & run thru the grass in this park-like setting with amazing lake and mountain views. Conveniently located between Fort Collins and Loveland where life is just a bit more relaxed. Yard maintenance included, other than snow shoveling (there are no public sidewalks) and patio cleaning. Nearly step-free comfortable home includes a kitchen that a cook will love, soak tub (aahh, bubble baths), plus windows that bring in the incredible outdoor light and ever-changing beauty. Open common areas to gather and 3 private bedrooms to rest well. 2-car garage with storage. Tree-shadded back patio, paths through the property, garden opportunity, sparkles from the lake (private) and so much more that simply can't be written. Photos don't do it justice. You'll wanna see it, so apply quickly. Also... Easy access to hospitals, restaurants, local airport, grocery, shopping, towns, walk/bike paths, and the highway is even close enough for commuting, but far enough from the house (5mi?). A rare opportunity and truly special place to call home! Available by Nov 1. A secondary unit on the property might be another option if this one seems like it's just too much. You won't want to leave, but let's start with a year. Utilities are reasonable in this well-insulated ranch-style home. Owner maintains yard.
