Rare waterfront real estate meets single-level living on the banks of the Dolores River. Tucked away on a quiet, paved, low-traffic cul-de-sac on the desirable north end of Dolores, this home offers direct riverfront living with HOA green belt across the river. With approximately 60 feet of river, this property provides an immersive natural setting paired with the convenience of living right in town. Designed to really capitalize on the setting, the home features a thoughtful floor plan that brings the river into almost every view. All the main living spaces, including the kitchen, dining area, the living room, and the primary suite enjoy expansive windows oriented directly toward the flowing water and cottonwood canopy. Nicely finished with comfortable quality throughout, the home has an easy flow, accessibility, and is super functional. The primary, which opens to the deck and river, has dual vanities and a nice walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms have extra large closets and are the perfect accommodation for family, visitors, or dedicated home office spaces. The outdoor living areas are designed to maximize Southwest Colorado’s four seasons. A broad covered front porch offers a welcoming entrance, while the expansive back porch sits just steps from the river’s edge. Whether hosting summer barbecues, dining alfresco, or listening to the soothing sounds of the Dolores River after a day on the trails, the outdoor areas serve as a natural extension of the home’s interior layout. For outdoor enthusiasts, storage is often as critical as living space. This property features an oversized two-car garage equipped with a high-clearance garage door, tailored to accommodate high-profile vehicles, camper vans, or trailered gear. Additional interior garage space provides room for workbench setups, river rafts, kayaks, or mountain bikes. The Town of Dolores sits at the epicenter of Southwest Colorado’s premier outdoor recreation corridors. Step out your back door to launch a paddleboard, cast a line for trout, or relax by the water. Within minutes, access the iconic Boggy Draw trail system for endless cross-country mountain biking and hiking, or head south to the technical singletrack at Phil’s World. Explore the dramatic red-rock canyons of Sand Canyon and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, or take a short scenic drive to Hovenweep and Mesa Verde National Park. When winter arrives, world-class skiing and snowboarding in Telluride are just an hour away. In addition to its appeal as a primary residence or mountain getaway, the property possesses a proven track record as a highly successful short-term rental. Buyers interested in having a short-term rental must complete the standard approval process with the Town of Dolores to secure an STR permit. Home shown by appointment.
