About This Home

As of March 2025

This lovely farmhouse just east of Bayfield has that "peaceful, easy feeling" and is a welcoming place to call home. Located on 5 acres adjoining San Juan National Forest to the south, this property overlooks the Sauls Creek trail system and provides open space and recreational opportunities close by. The home was built in 1998 and has an open, liveable floorplan, with vaulted ceilings, many windows bringing in light, cozy gas fireplace and hardwood floors which look great and are practical too. The kitchen is spacious and has gorgeous leathered granite countertops and a brand new Cafe style refrigerator. The dining area is open to the kitchen and living room and the space is generously sized. Down the hall on the main level you will find a large laundry room with built-in storage, a full bath, and two stylish bedrooms. Heading upstairs on the beautiful wood staircase there is a large loft with room for office, fitness, and entertainment needs as well as extra guest space and attic storage. The upper level also has the private primary bedroom suite, with vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet and full bathroom. Outside there are multiple outdoor spaces to enjoy around the home - including a covered front porch, back patio with pergola, and is beautifully landscaped with perennial flowerbeds and gravel pathways. There is plenty of room for hobbies, storage and activities in the two car attached garage, the 3 car carport, and utility shed. Details include cedar siding, propanel roof, well-maintained gravel driveway, partial fence and gate. With no HOA or covenants other than county requirements, there is lots of flexibility on this property. Great location, National Forest access, and a warm, well-cared for home make this property an attractive option for those considering purchasing a rural home in La Plata County.
