Description
Rare Lakefront Opportunity with Breathtaking Mountain Views. Offered for the first time ever, this historic family home presents a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most exceptional properties in the San Juan Mountains. Nestled within the coveted Black Lake Estates, this rare lakefront retreat boasts unparalleled south-facing views of Black Lake, the surrounding mountain ranges, and the dramatic cliffs that rise across the valley to the east. Designed to capture the beauty of its surroundings, the home features a warm and inviting cabin atmosphere with expansive windows that frame spectacular lake and mountain vistas. Offering 3 bedrooms, a separate dining area, a stone fireplace in the living room, a partially finished basement, and a 2-car garage, the home is being offered partially furnished for immediate enjoyment. Gather with family and friends around the stunning stone fireplace or relax on the sun-drenched south-facing deck during the summer months. Whether you're watching the sunrise over the mountains or taking in the vibrant evening colors reflected across the lake, the views from both inside and outside the home are simply unforgettable. Black Lake Estates is an exclusive 70-acre mountain community comprised of just ten one-acre homesites surrounding a pristine 15-acre spring-fed private lake. Reserved exclusively for homeowners and their guests, the lake and extensive common areas are not open to public access, ensuring exceptional privacy and tranquility. Each property includes a one-tenth ownership interest in the community's shared amenities and open spaces. Residents and their guests enjoy private access to swimming, non-motorized boating, dock facilities, and a picturesque lakeside meadow perfect for picnics and outdoor gatherings. As one of the few true lakefront properties on Colorado's Western Slope, this home offers an extraordinary combination of natural beauty, privacy, and serenity. More than just a home, it is a mountain sanctuary—a place to relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories for generations to come.
