This updated mountain escape is ideally on a private 1.2-acre double lot, recombined to ensure only one POA fee, with expansive lake frontage, wooded privacy and calming sound of a nearby stream. Enjoy every season from the covered porch overlooking scenic Trout Lake or cast a line off your deck before warming up by the fire pit. With fiber internet and central air, the home offers modern comfort in a rustic setting—ideal for full-time living, a seasonal getaway or an investment as a short- or long-term rental. The main-level design includes three bedrooms and two baths, including a lakeside primary suite with en-suite bath and direct porch access. The kitchen features updated appliances and a breakfast bar that opens into a dining area with lake views. A stone fireplace—fitted with gas log inserts but easily returned to wood-burning—anchors the spacious living room, which also includes space for a game table or reading nook. Recent improvements include new carpet in the bedrooms, water heater, washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, microwave, central air, heat pump, PEX plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel and high-speed fiber internet. The ample driveway ensures easy access and guest parking. Within the gates of Powder Horn Mountain, enjoy amenities including a renovated clubhouse, fitness center, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, trout fishing, hiking trails, chapel and campground. The gated entry is monitored. Though lakeside, the property is not in a floodplain and has no history of flood damage, according to the owner. Peaceful, well-appointed and ready to enjoy, this rare offering combines nature, comfort and investment potential in one of the High Country’s charming and amenitized communities.
