" Aspen Mountain Lookout " is a very unique property as it's just filled with thousands Aspen trees in every direction you can see, the fall colors are something that has to been seen to get the full effect of mountain living and the land just explodes with all the  fall colors that only Aspen trees really can offer.  This 40 +/-  acre piece  over looks  Vallecito Lake and Freeman Creek with views that literally will take your breath away and does not matter in what direction you are looking in, your surrounded by endless views. There are 2 foundations in place to choose from or build on both, the foundations were inspected recently and are ready to build with of course the views in mind.  The location is just 18 miles to Durango, CO which offers a state of the art hospital, a great airport that is currently expanding with direct flights from even more cities now, 12 miles to Bayfield and its great restaurants. For the outdoor enthusiast one very cool feature of this property is the "The Endlich Mesa" trail literally can be directly accessed from several points of the property, the trail is 21 +/- miles and will take you deep into the mountains to one of the most beautiful meadows you can ever dream of walking through, you will pass many streams, lakes everywhere, granite slopes and lush green grass, hike it, mountain bike it, snow shoe it, take the dog and you may not even see a single soul the entire trip. For the skiers you have Purgatory Ski Mountain in Durango, Wolf Creek with its well known deep snow in Pagosa Springs, both great mountains to ski.  Aspen Mountain Lookout offers the perfect base for all you year round activities you can think of.  Vallecito Lake for the fishermen has had 30lb pike caught in it and just huge Rainbows, Browns, and Germans trout and some of the best fly fishing in CO on the Pine River. Vallecito Lake has a fantastic marina so bring the boat or just rent one for the day. For the hunters the property also  boarders thousands of acres of National Forest and the Weminche Wilderness area located in BGU 75 and CO offers OTC Elk tags for 2nd and 3rd rifle, you can hike into endless forest and hunt directly from your own property.  The location of Aspen Mountain with its views, access to the forest, proximity to the the lake and river would be very hard to find again, its ready to make someones mountain home  living come true. Enjoy the views !!
