About This Home
**Mountain Sanctuary with Stunning Views – No HOA!** Welcome to your Colorado retreat! Nestled among aspen and pine on just over an acre at the base of the Hermosa Cliffs, this stunning 4-bedroom, 3.25-bath plus den home offers breathtaking views of Haviland Lake and Missionary Ridge through massive floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows. Enjoy passive solar warmth in the winter and cool, comfortable summers thanks to smart architectural design. Built in 1983, the home has been rebuilt from the inside out and is ready for your finishing touches. The main level features a spacious great room with a new, EPA-certified Pacific Energy wood stove. The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s dream with a large eat-in island, knotty walnut cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, a farmhouse sink, and a high-end double-oven propane range. Three bedrooms are located on the main level, including one ensuite with a fully renovated bath, while the other two share a beautifully updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Both baths include tiled showers, energy-efficient Comfort Cove heaters, and custom closet systems. The newly renovated mudroom, laundry, and powder room include a large linen closet, LG ThinQ washer/dryer unit, a whole-house water softener, and a propane on-demand water heater. Ascend the spiral staircase to the loft, where you’ll find panoramic mountain views and a serene primary suite. The bedroom and bath include a charming clawfoot tub/shower and custom built-ins. New flooring has been installed in all bedrooms, den, the loft, and the mud/powder/laundry rooms. For year-round comfort, a whole-house Mitsubishi ductless hyper-heat mini-split system provides both heating and air conditioning, operating efficiently at elevation. Step outside onto the expansive deck, perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the fresh mountain air. A private hot tub awaits—offering the ultimate relaxation spot under a canopy of stars and the Milky Way. Outside, the natural landscape bursts into bloom during the summer, with perennial flowers and vibrant late-season hollyhocks. The property is easy to maintain and offers privacy without restrictive covenants or HOA regulations—making it an ideal full-time home, vacation retreat, or short-term rental investment. The septic system is updated and ready to transfer. Enjoy affordable and accessible homeowners insurance thanks to the home's proximity to the Electra Lake Fire Station and its favorable elevation. Located just 1.5 miles north of Haviland Lake and 5 miles south of Purgatory Ski Resort, enjoy endless outdoor recreation while being only 20 minutes from Durango. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this breathtaking mountain sanctuary—schedule your showing today!
