Brand new in 2025 and built by the owner, this thoughtfully constructed single level home offers the rare combination of quality, efficiency, and location that buyers are actively searching for near Vallecito Lake. Situated at 12316 CR 501, you are just 2 minutes from the lake, 15 minutes to Bayfield, and an easy 30 minute drive to Durango, all with excellent year round access. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1, 705 square feet of well designed open concept living space with 9 foot ceilings that create a bright and open feel. The oversized 2 car garage is a standout with 10 foot ceilings and a 9 foot door, ideal for trucks, boats, and all your Colorado gear. Inside, you will find solid knotty alder doors and matching window sills, high end Pella windows, and a clean, modern finish that still feels warm and inviting. This home was built with long term performance in mind. Construction upgrades include Zip System wall sheathing, LED lighting throughout, a roof engineered for 90 pound snow load with no roof penetrations, all gable venting, insulated stem wall crawl space with lighting and dehumidifier, and a full French drain system around the foundation, including a garage drain. Mechanical systems are top tier with a Trane propane furnace, all metal insulated ducting, PEX piping, and a brand new Kohler 14kw whole house generator with transfer switch and cold weather kit for peace of mind. (Just needs connected) The kitchen is equipped with matching GE stainless steel appliances, a propane range, and a 5 stage reverse osmosis system for top tier drinking water. The home is fully wired with CAT 6 cabling, Starlink internet, and pre mounted smart TVs in each room, making it completely move in ready for today’s lifestyle. Step outside and the setting truly shines.

The property offers much usable land with room for additional buildings, a fenced yard for pets, RV hookups for fresh and black water, multiple frost free spigots, and a propane connection on the back porch for grilling. All of the details were done right, including a custom swinging mailbox designed to handle winter snow plows and easy access off CR 501 during winter months. This is not a typical new build, it is a well planned, high quality home in one of the most desirable recreational areas in Southwest Colorado.
