About This Home
If Durango, Colorado is one of your favorite places, then the stunning Animas River Valley framed by its red cliffs is surely forefront in your memories of this famous mountain town among its many awe-inspiring and breathtaking views. The Animas River and its glacial valley are notable for both the serene dramatic setting of meandering glassy waters framed by lush foliage and mountainous red cliffs, and in their capacity to transition your senses from the high-desert of the southwest to the cool high-alpine and rugged peaks of the San Juan Mountains. For many, this river valley has come to symbolize the totality of feeling and spirit that make up “life in the mountains.” This is where you’ll find the finest legacy estate properties in the region, where the meandering river valley frames one of the most opulent landscapes in all of the West. This beloved, remodeled 4-bedroom White Water Ranch has hosted many memories over the years from generational family gatherings to current vacation rentals, nestled on what feels like a private island retreat, ideally located between downtown Durango and Purgatory Ski Resort, at the end of a quiet, private drive. As you approach, you'll cross a charming bridge over the Animas Irrigation canal, where the soothing sound of water cascading over boulders creates a serene ambiance. Your park-like backyard setting opens towards the Animas River, offering a truly special outdoor experience. Enjoy recreational amenities including a full-size basketball court (which could also be utilized for pickleball), a spacious deck with a hot tub, a lush green lawn with a firepit by the riverbank, and a sizable outbuilding perfect for storing all of your outdoor adventure gear from snowmobiles and ATVs to kayaks and mountain bikes. Upon entering the home, you'll be greeted by soaring ceilings and a wall of glass that floods the space with natural light and stunning mountain views. The main level features a generous living room that flows into an open kitchen and dining area, equipped with top-of-the-line GE Profile double convection wall ovens, a 5-burner cooktop, an LG refrigerator and dishwasher, two wine coolers, and a walk-in pantry. This level also includes a large laundry room, a powder room, and access to the outdoor deck. Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom complete with its own expansive deck, a luxurious newly remodeled 5-piece bath, and his and hers walk-in closets, which also lead to a spacious attic loft storage area. The upper level further features a cozy family room with a fireplace, additional bedrooms, an office, library, and two more bathrooms. The lower level is a fully finished basement with two separate rooms, perfect for a family room, game room, home theater, fitness area, or whatever your imagination conjures. There is also a separate lock-off storage room / owner's closet for ski gear and more! This home is the epitome of a vibrant Durango lifestyle and offered with furnishings negotiable, allowing you to seamlessly move in right away to enjoy all it has to offer, including the ability to enjoy revenue with its solid rental history.
