Property Description

Discover a unique opportunity to own a spacious, turnkey mountain lodge nestled in the heart of Colorado's spectacular San Luis Valley. Offering 5,214 square feet of inviting log-style charm, this versatile property combines rustic mountain character, comfortable accommodations, and multiple income-producing opportunities, all surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The main lodge welcomes guests with a warm and inviting great room that flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating an ideal gathering space for families, groups, retreats, or hospitality operations. A beautiful open loft with log railings and a log staircase provides two queen beds, adding character and additional sleeping accommodations. The lodge features six bedrooms, including three with private bathrooms, while the remaining three share a centrally located guest bath and shower room. The building was engineered to maximize solar heat. The orientation of the building and the slope of the south roof were specifically designed to get maximum solar gain for the 27 large direct solar heat panels. The property offers additional accommodations and flexibility with two attached apartments: a two-bedroom, one-bath unit and a one-bedroom, one-bath unit, each with its own laundry facilities. Accessibility features include an ADA ramp to the main entrance and an accessible half bath. At the front of the property, a separate cedar-sided rental cabin offers three bedrooms and one bathroom, providing even more potential for guest lodging or rental income. A five-space RV parking area with electric and sewer hookups further expands the property's versatility and income potential. Nearby attractions include Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, Penitente Canyon, and Zapata Falls, as well as access to Wolf Creek and Monarch ski areas and the historic town of Creede, all within approximately an hour's drive.
