1 Acre of Residential Land for Sale in Bayfield, Colorado

Ellen Golden, Keller Williams Realty Southwest Associates, LLC, C:,,: A little more elbow room, a little more mountain air, and still close to home. This 1.05-acre Forest Lakes lot offers a manageable way to own a wooded piece of Colorado, whether you are considering a future homesite or simply planning for what comes next. Mature ponderosa pines create a beautiful natural setting, and the property borders an approximately 37-acre BLM parcel, extending the sense of open space well beyond the lot itself. Much of the early work has already been started, with a driveway, a cleared building area, flagged corners, and a fire hydrant at the street along the north property line. The property is tucked near the end of E Valley View Drive, approximately 18 minutes from Bayfield, 23 minutes from Vallecito Lake, and under 40 minutes from Durango. From here, some of Southwest Colorado's best-loved outdoor destinations are close at hand. Vallecito Lake, the San Juan National Forest, and miles of area trails offer abundant opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, fishing, boating, camping, and exploring. A Forest Lakes Metro District water tap is available but has not been paid for or installed, and a septic system will be required. Forest Lakes does not have an HOA; rather, the Forest Lakes Metro District (FLMD) is a Title 32 Special District with taxing authority responsible for providing Road Maintenance, Snow Removal, Trash, Mail Kiosk Maintenance, Water, Parks and Recreation. Seller represents that the amount of the regular metro district fee is currently payable at approximately $46.50 per month. Adjoining BLM land is not included in the sale.
