Animas Valley living for under $1M and vacation rentals allowed!! This pre-inspected, updated 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom single level home is in the exclusive Estancia Subdivision. This home is perfectly situated between Durango and Purgatory ski resort and would be a wonderful 2nd home, full time residence or vacation rental! Updated in 2024, this home has new kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, tiled backsplash, light fixtures and stainless appliances. Both baths have been updated including adding a full body shower in the master suite and vessel tub. Fresh paint, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new doors, lighting and hardware. Expansive covered front porch and back patio with a .22 acre fully landscaped and fenced-in yard. This home is on one of the largest lots in the subdivision and adjacent to a greenbelt so it enjoys unobstructed views of the Hermosa Cliffs and Missionary Ridge. Included in the Estancia community is a private, 20-acre mountainside park called Pinecrest Preserve. The park has a nice half-mile trail that winds upward more than 250 feet through a groomed Ponderosa pine forest to a beautiful scenic overlook. Atop the overlook is a gazebo, a small cabin with a wood stove, a BBQ grill and an old-fashioned outhouse. Lovely for a quick morning run, a family picnic, private parties, or other mountain get-togethers. The park also offers access to hiking trails through the adjacent San Juan National Forest. Estancia DOES allow short term rentals and this would make a superb vacation rental to help offset ownership costs. Projected gross income for part time vacation renting is $57/annually.
