About This Home

As of April 2026

Rare North Valley estate with exceptional ADU and expansion potential. Set on 3.6 acres in one of Durango’s most sought-after locations, this meticulously designed property offers a rare opportunity for a future accessory dwelling unit, guest quarters, or multigenerational living—just 20 minutes from downtown Durango and 20 minutes from Purgatory Resort. With infrastructure, utilities, and planning already in place, this home is uniquely positioned for both immediate enjoyment and long-term flexibility. The main residence spans 3,725 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed for comfort and functionality. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets, radiant in-floor heating, a spa-inspired bathroom with steam room, custom tile work, soaking tub, bidet hookup, and timed floor warmers that pre-heat the bath and closets before you step inside. Ducted mini-split climate control ensures year-round comfort throughout the home. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is built for entertaining, offering granite countertops, soft-close custom cabinetry, KitchenAid appliances, a pot filler, beverage refrigerator, prep sink, bar seating with storage beneath, and seamless flow into the dining and living areas. The living space is anchored by a wood stove with propane and electric hookups, mantle outlets, stair lighting, and an open layout ideal for gatherings. Upstairs bedrooms feature individual heat control and access to an updated balcony for fresh mountain air. The lower level adds significant versatility, with ADU-ready space including handicap-accessible plumbing, hidden storage, wet bar plumbing, pellet stove, multiple heating options, and a dedicated pump system for future expansion—ideal for a separate living space, guest suite, or income-producing unit. This property has been extensively upgraded with modern systems and durable finishes, including a Genesis water softener, Prestige Solo hot water system, Starlink WiFi, new stucco, soffit, fascia, chimneys, and a two-year-old metal roof. A heated roof, gutter helmet, snow-melt system, and hydronic tubing plumbed into sidewalks (ready for future activation) reflect the home’s thoughtful, mountain-ready design. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The expansive deck features fire-resistant Tanzite tile and metal posts ready for a pergola or lighting. Gas, water, and electric hookups support a future outdoor kitchen, TV, and heater, while a hot tub, multiple exterior hydrants, portable wood shed, and newly installed sprinkler system tied to a 1,200-gallon cistern enhance functionality and comfort. Utilities are already in place for a future casita or garage, with concrete pillars poured for a carport and plans drawn for a large shop/garage with drive-in lower access—making this property truly future-ready. Blending mountain luxury with intentional design, this North Valley estate offers radiant in-floor heating, spa-level finishes, resilient exterior upgrades, and rare expansion opportunities. Whether entertaining on the deck, unwinding in the hot tub after a day on the slopes, or building out additional living space, this is a property designed to evolve with your lifestyle. More than a home—it’s a private retreat built for every season of life.
