About This Home

As of July 2025

Mountain Serenity Meets Modern Sustainability at Lemon Reservoir. Tucked into 2.15 acres of pure Colorado beauty, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat is your chance to live in harmony with nature—without sacrificing comfort or design. Located just minutes from the pristine waters of Lemon Reservoir and surrounded by towering pines and alpine serenity, this property is a rare find that offers privacy, efficiency, and breathtaking views in every direction. Thoughtfully crafted with green living in mind, the 3-bedroom, 1.75-bath home spans 2,595 square feet and includes two separately deeded parcels. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the home’s warm, modern aesthetic—complete with color-integral concrete floors, 12-foot tongue-and-groove ceilings with exposed beams, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area designed for connection and comfort. Step onto one of the spacious decks and take in views of Lemon Reservoir and the surrounding mountains, or head upstairs to the private primary suite—your personal sanctuary featuring a cozy fireplace, skylights, a private sitting area, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite with steam shower. This all-electric home is built for sustainable living, with south-facing, energy-efficient windows, a remote-controlled Wi-Fi thermostat system, and an electric boiler that powers the in-floor radiant heat during off-peak hours. A photovoltaic solar system offers backup power during outages, ensuring peace of mind in any season. The oversized, detached two-car garage includes a south-facing greenhouse, a spacious upstairs bonus room, and a deck wired for a hot tub—perfect for relaxation after a day spent exploring. Water is supplied by a community well, with an 1,800-gallon cistern for added convenience. Fire mitigation has been completed, and the exterior has been updated with fire-resistant siding, making this home as practical as it is beautiful. Whether you're hiking, fishing, paddleboarding, mountain biking, or simply soaking in the stillness, adventure begins just outside your door. Located an easy 30-minute drive from both Durango and Bayfield, this is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Don’t miss your chance to own this remarkable slice of Colorado paradise.
