Some homes you buy. This one, you inherit a piece of Estes Park set on 3.68 acres of Lake Estes shoreline, the former Mall family residence has been part of this valley’s story for decades – and it’s ready for its next chapter. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and direct lake frontage, in a setting that almost never comes to market. Drink your coffee on the deck while the elk graze the shoreline. Watch the peaks turn pink at sunrise and the lake catch fire at sunset. Step out your door to the Lake Estes Trail. Just minutes to downtown for dinner, or to the gates of Rocky Mountain National Park. This is the kind of place people slow down for and wonder who lives there. The home sits on well water with city sewer, and the regional water treatment facility is being relocated further from the property – a meaningful upgrade for any future owner and then there’s the upside. With 3.68 acres on the lake, the canvas here is bigger than most. The seller has begun exploring a potential lot division with an engineering firm, and a preliminary concept has been prepared for review with Larimer County. A hosted vacation-home permit application has also been submitted, and the property is on the waitlist for a non-hosted short-term rental permit. Nothing is approved or guaranteed – but for the right buyer, the possibilities are real and worth exploring. All future-use questions to be independently verified with Larimer County.
