This property blends many features that rarely come in one package including a beautiful one story home placed in a park-like setting with mature trees and huge LaPlata mountain views, peaceful and totally private, fabulous water rights and sprinkler system, pond, landscaping, charmingly decorated organic garden. Thoughtfully designed and constructed home has been lovingly maintained, is filled with light and open spaces making everyday life elegant yet welcoming, and entertaining a breeze. Locals know that this neighborhood of the Florida Mesa is a particularly sought after area as the surrounding properties are on good sized acreage and have lovely homes. Outside living spaces equal the quality and comfort of the interior offering awesome views and mature landscaping. Two spacious patios beckon one to be outside at any time of day. We cannot mention enough the long pastoral views ----not another house in sight! Instead, many big trees and flowers, meadow and pond in the foreground, and the LaPlata Mountains as a backdrop! This is the scene that wedding picture dreams are made of! Organic vegetable garden has special character and creative design with special "room" to sit and sip your iced tea! Entire perimeter of exterior of house is landscaped with a a water system fed by abundant irrigation rights and ditch meandering through the property. This one story home was well designed to aesthetically last through the decades, an open floor plan with large, low-hung windows connecting the interior to the earth and sky outside. Hints of Southwest styling are seen in the wood flooring, wall textures and colors. Built in cabinetry and shelving, aspen wood 9 foot ceilings, and big kitchen island call to mind the farmhouse style of comforting "welcome to our home." Dining room is open to the kitchen and has large windows looking out to the front patio and playground for the neighborhood deer population. Built-in bookshelves here are perfect for your cookbook collection. A cozy family room connects to the dining area and it would be a convenient office too. Two Jotul wood stoves and large atrium windows compliment the understated, classic design of the living room-great room area. Laundry room is spacious with good closet storage and half bath, and is in entry coming in from the over-sized two car garage. Master bedroom suite and laundry room are located at north end of the home with remaining two bedrooms, office, and full bath to the south. Also in this wing is found the formal front entry of the home. If you visit this home, plan to stay for awhile because you will not want to leave! All the best things are found here---comfort, sunshine, mountain views, water, privacy, quiet, close to town. This is what people think of when they dream of the ideal Durango country home!
