About This Property
Rare opportunity to own a beautiful 1.03-acre homesite bordering public land at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac in the desirable Forest Lakes community. With public land directly adjoining the property, you can step from your future mountain home into miles of Southwest Colorado recreation while enjoying added privacy and a peaceful wooded setting. The lot offers year-round access and is not excessively steep, making it a great option for building compared with many mountain properties. A load of gravel is already on site to help get you started with driveway preparation.

Residents enjoy access to private Lake Simpatico for fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding, along with convenient access to National Forest for hiking, mountain biking, exploring and endless outdoor recreation. The location offers a great balance of mountain living and convenience.
Vallecito Lake is nearby for boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and other water recreation, while Lemon Reservoir provides another incredible destination for fishing, paddling, camping and exploring the San Juan National Forest. Vallecito Reservoir Lemon Reservoir Downtown Bayfield is within an easy drive for everyday amenities, while Durango provides additional shopping, dining, entertainment and year-round recreation. Whether you're looking to build a full-time residence or a Colorado mountain getaway, 20 Elk Dr offers a hard-to-find combination of BLM frontage, cul-de-sac privacy, year-round access, community water and immediate access to the outdoors.
