Sitting behind the gate of the coveted River Ranch subdivision is this masterpiece of a home that seamlessly blends with the grassy meadows, Ponderosa Pines, majestic Cottonwood trees, plus spruce and Aspen trees. As soon as you pull up to the home you immediately notice the private 2.3 acre lot is covered with streams and trout ponds that hold water year round. As you stroll the Boardwalk/path around the home the immaculate landscaping of the grounds and gardens pull you into your own private retreat. It is not uncommon for an abundance of wildlife to pass through. As you enter the home there is a profusion of natural light flowing into the main living area through the floor to ceiling windows that overlook the meticulously maintained grounds. The vaulted ceilings, hickory hardwood floors and large river rock fireplace make this a great area to entertain or close the electric automatic blinds for a quite evening in. Off of the main living area is a large private deck with views of the wonderful property and beyond. The kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including a gas Frigidaire Professional 5 burner stove top and dual KitchenAid ovens. The cornerstone of the kitchen is the custom birdseye maple breakfast bar. The main level master bedroom features another fireplace and built in TV. Accessible from both the master suite and the kitchen, is an enclosed sun room perfect for your morning coffee and paper or a nice post-dinner glass of wine. The en-suite master bath features a walk in shower with custom glass insert, a large jetted Swirl-Way tub, and dual vanity with plenty of extra counter space. Rounding out the main floor is another bedroom and full bathroom as well as access to the oversized attached 2 car garage. The second floor includes another bedroom and full bathroom. Also upstairs are two areas overlooking the main floor that could be used as office/flex space, and a very large storage area. Besides the fireplaces, the home also has forced air heat and central air-conditioning. A detached barn/workshop sits next to the home. The lower level shop is a dream come true for the do-it-yourselfer with plenty of storage and work space. The upstairs is currently being used as a workout area but this barn has many possible uses as the roughly 1000 SqFt of usable space is both heated and cooled. The lower level could also be used as an additional garage bay. The owners like to brag on the fact that there is "tons "of easy to get at storage throughout the home. THE SUBDIVISION INCLUDES ABOUT 20 ACRES OF COMMON AREA INCLUDING A 16 ACRE ISLAND FOR HIKING, PICNICKING AND FISHING IN THE SEVERAL PONDS ON THE ISLAND. There are fishing holes on both sides of the island. The ponds on the island are stocked with fish yearly. Ownership in the subdivision also entitles you to private fishing rights on both sides of approximately 1.5 of the Pine River. Extensive reworking of the Pine River and the ponds to increase fish habitat was completed just a bit over a year ago. Every fish has its own “rock pillow” on which to rest it’s head every night! Only 10 minutes away from Vallecito Lake’s world class fishing. Lake Vallecito has close-by restaurants with frequent musical entertainment. The area also provides other amenities and incredible hiking/biking trails that connect to nearly 3,000,000 acres of the San Juan National Forest. Do you like four-wheeling? How about Snowmobiling? Try your hand at cross-country skiing. Miles and miles of roads for you to explore both summer and winter. About 10 minutes to Bayfield which has its own grocery store and an excellent school system and probably 20-25 minutes to Durango with all of its numerous amenities. Don’t let this beautiful retreat fool you, the home is less than 15 minutes from Bayfield, less than a half hour to Durango, and less than one hour from Purgatory Ski Resort.
