About This Home

As of July 2025

Perched in the breathtaking Lake Purgatory area of Durango, this timber frame log cabin seamlessly blends classic mountain charm with high-end finishes and modern upgrades. Surrounded by towering pines and stunning Hermosa Cliff views on just over an acre, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a peaceful escape just minutes from Purgatory Resort and year-round outdoor adventure. Stepping inside, a welcoming mudroom provides a convenient space to store outdoor gear before entering the heart of the home along with two built in wine fridges. The main floor features an open-concept kitchen and living area, where the warmth of Vermont slate flooring and an all-wood interior creates an inviting atmosphere. A stunning Telluride stone fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the living space, offering a cozy spot to unwind after a day in the mountains. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully designed with soapstone countertops, a Shaw farm sink, a restaurant-quality pot rack, and a vintage Chambers stove, blending functionality with rustic charm. Just off the main living space, a lofted area provides additional sleeping space, perfect for guests or a cozy reading nook. A private sauna offers the ultimate relaxation experience, adding to the home’s luxurious mountain retreat feel. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features its own private balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee while taking in breathtaking alpine views. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with an expansive Ipe wood deck offering a durable and elegant space for entertaining. A ski chair porch swing on the front porch adds the perfect apres-ski touch. The cedar shake, log, and Telluride stone exterior blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, capturing the essence of a true mountain getaway. With its rich history, premium finishes, and an unbeatable location, this cabin is the ultimate Durango mountain retreat. Whether you're looking for a private getaway, a vacation rental, or a full-time residence, this property delivers an unparalleled mix of charm, luxury, and adventure.
