Property Description
Spacious Log Home + Furnished Rental Duplex | Offered Together for $1,620,000
1425 & 1415 N. Hwy 149 | Lake City, Colorado
Welcome to Rocky Top Vacation Rentals-a mountain home and established rental opportunity on 1.214 beautifully maintained acres just outside Lake City. The $1,620,000 asking price includes both the main residence at 1425 N. Highway 149 and the separate furnished duplex at 1415 N. Highway 149. Together, the two buildings contain three units totaling approximately 5,141 square feet, 7 bedrooms, and 7 bathrooms.
The two duplex units together have averaged approximately $78,000 in gross annual rental income, before operating expenses over the last 3 years. That income comes from the duplex alone; the main residence is currently owner-occupied and contributes no rental income to that figure.
Live in the main home while operating the rentals, create a mountain gathering place for extended family, or explore additional income by converting the main residence into a rental.
Positioned along Highway 149, the property offers excellent visibility and signage, no HOA, and minimal covenants. Guests enjoy convenient highway access while also being able to reach town and the Alpine Loop via backroads for ATVs and UTVs-a draw for adventure travelers.
The Setting & Opportunity
Surrounded by fourteeners and vast public lands, Lake City attracts hikers, off-roaders, anglers, hunters, ice climbers, and families. Nearby Lake San Cristobal and the surrounding San Juan Mountains provide recreation throughout the seasons, bringing visitors-and Rocky Top's repeat guests-back year after year.
The property offers several possibilities:
Continue operating as an owner-occupied residence with two furnished rental units.
Explore converting the main home into an additional rental for larger groups.
Create a multigenerational family vacation compound.
Explore event or wedding venue use.
Explore Jeep or side-by-side rental opportunities.
Potential additional uses are subject to applicable requirements. Projected additional gross annual rental income of $60,000 or more from the main residence is an estimate, separate from the duplex's existing income, and is not guaranteed.
