Property Description
Eagle’s Nest Cabins is a rare and versatile mountain retreat located just north of Vallecito Reservoir, approximately 30 minutes from Durango and 20 minutes from Bayfield. This exceptional property includes a main lodge, three income-producing log cabins, and a caretaker’s studio cottage, all situated on just over three acres with an additional 0.80-acre vacant lot included in the sale. The property offers access to the National Forest just minutes away and provides endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. Together, the improvements total 5,449 square feet of living space and are ideally suited for use as a vacation rental business, bed-and-breakfast, wedding venue, corporate retreat, or private family compound. Current rental projections exceed $120,000 annually. The 2,137-square-foot main lodge, built in 1961, features four bedrooms and two baths with generous living areas, making it ideal for owner occupancy or guest accommodations. The three log cabins, each built in 1969, offer 1,024 square feet with three bedrooms, two baths, full kitchens, and wood-burning fireplaces. A caretaker’s cottage above the garage provides additional flexibility for management or guest space. The 0.80-acre vacant lot offers potential for RV parking, storage, or additional rental pads. Three private fishing ponds add to the charm of the setting, which is surrounded by mountain beauty and abundant wildlife. Year-round activities such as hiking, boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and snowshoeing are easily accessible, and the property’s convenient location places it within a short drive of both Bayfield and Durango. Eagle’s Nest Cabins presents a unique opportunity to own a turnkey income property or private mountain getaway in one of Southwest Colorado’s most scenic destinations.
