Find Out What Your Home Is Really Worth!

A rare opportunity to acquire a proven, high-performing lakefront short-term rental in Terra Lago--positioned for the investor who understands that the best STR acquisitions combine documented revenue, differentiated amenities, a strong depreciation basis, and the ability to perform from day one.This fully established 3-bedroom, 3-bath, 2,157-square-foot lakefront retreat generated $131,000 in verified gross rental revenue in 2025 and is currently on pace to exceed that performance in 2026. Unlike a speculative STR purchase where the buyer must renovate, furnish, build reviews and establish a rental history, this property already has the amenities and proven performance guests are looking for.The outdoor space is the centerpiece: a private saltwater pool and spa, expansive lake and mountain views, commercial-grade misters, lakeside fire pit, built-in BBQ, covered outdoor TV lounge and multiple entertaining areas create a true resort-style guest experience.

For the hybrid buyer, it offers something equally compelling: a lakefront desert residence that can be personally enjoyed while producing meaningful rental income when not in use. And for an investor looking to enter the STR market, the property provides a documented
