Riverfront home awaits you! This stunning new Colorado dream home, fully furnished and ready for short term rentals, sits on the beautiful Dolores River in the midst of the San Juan National Forest. This incredible retreat is less than an hour away from Telluride, where you can enjoy world-class skiing, hiking, and fishing, or just stay at home and relax in your own private retreat. The 32 expansive windows and sliding doors frame the incredible water and mountain views everywhere you turn and allow natural light to brighten every corner. The house is angled to maximize southern exposure, providing plenty of passive solar heat during the winter, yet stays wonderfully cool during the summer, in part to the poured concrete floors, numerous ceiling fans, and those 266 feet of wonderful river frontage. The upstairs is equipped with a mini-split unit for additional cooling. Soaring vaulted ceilings abound in every area except in the great room which showcases beautiful tongue and groove woodwork. this area is heated not just with radiant floor heating, but a top of the line thermostatically controlled wood-burning fireplace. In the kitchen, new stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinetry with numerous pull-outs, quartz countertops, apron-front dual sink with motion sensor faucet, and an enormous 4x8 center island will make any cook happy, especially with the river flowing right in front of you! Entertain in style on the oversized patio accessed by double sliding doors and steps away from a 384 square foot deck located directly on the banks. A guest bedroom downstairs has its own outdoor access and is steps away from the river. A media room also on the main level could easily be converted into a bedroom by adding a closet. The entire upstairs is a retreat unto itself, complete with office, exercise or sitting room (or perhaps a nursery), walk-in closet, dual vanities and ample closet space, walk in gorgeous stone shower with dual heads and a luxurious free standing soaking tub. The bedroom opens to a 20x12 balcony facing the river and the mountains. Let the sound of the river lull you to sleep as the constellations pass by the huge picture and transom windows. Without HOA constraints, this rare combination of riverfront property and new construction would certainly command high rates as a vacation rental and is now available and in use as a short-term rental. Don't let this opportunity pass you by to own your Colorado Dream Home!!
