About this property

On Vallecito Lake in beautiful San Juan County at 7700 ft altidude

You're only 20 feet from the shoreline! It just doesn't get any better. This ideal four season getaway is an easy walk to the marina and boat launch. The new outer deck has been finished after a complete renovation of the kitchen. The large granite tabletop seats 6. If you'd rather do your cooking outdoors there is a Blackstone griddle and Weber BBQ under a covered portion of the deck. Both bedrooms are beautifully furnished with queen bed in master, bunk bed in second bedroom and sofa bed in front of the fireplace. Lots of seating in the Great Room. Bring your boat for marina mooring or rent your favorite watercraft at the marina. Thanks to our home being built partially underground, no air conditioner is necessary, as the property naturally maintains a very comfortable temperature from the lake breezes. Please note: Vallecito Lake is an alpine lake fed by the spring run off from snow pack in our local mountains. We often see the lake fill to capacity in the spring and in summer water levels will vary with irrigation use in the lower valleys and summer showers. Summer water temperatures are in the high sixties and ice fishing is very popular in the winter months. Hiking and cross country skiing is popular all around the lake area and nearby streams.
Our property is vacant for much of the off season and we use three security cameras to monitor activity. One camera is above the basement door and guests do not have access to this maintenance area; a camera also covers the rear carport area where the owner's boat is stored; A third post mounted camera is on the front deck with views of patio door and side main entrance. There are no interior cameras and the motion activated exterior cameras are for the guest and host's protection. New for 2024 is a 43" flat screen TV in the master bedroom, a new front porch and a new metal roof.

Great Views
We had such a great time on the deck and on the lake. The view of the lake and mountains are spectacular day and night! Location is close to plenty of day excursions. Caught trout right in front of the house.

Beautiful views
Clean and comfortable. Kitchen is freshly remodeled, beautiful and fully stocked. Blackstone is a nice touch. House decor is a bit dated but it didn’t matter. The view from the deck makes up for it. Owner/manager is very helpful and detailed in his explanation of everything. We had a great time exploring the area.

Retired and loving life. Just having a good time fixing up a place and sharing it with vacationers.

Why they chose this property

Love the water and serenity of this lake. We camped across the lake many times before buying a pontoon boat and a home on this lake. The lake is still quite serene and the barn swallows come every spring to roost under the eaves of the house. Osprey glide in the sky around us looking for that next meal on the water surface and nest high in the trees around us.

What makes this property unique

We get to stay here when you're not here and always looking ahead to the next improvement. Cooking outside is great here.
