About This Home
$500,000 Price Reduction! Discover a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind ranchette in the heart of SW Colorado. Spanning over 54 acres across three separate legal parcels, this property offers endless potential—perfect for a family compound or an expansive retreat. Located just minutes off CR 250, the residence is perched on a hillside with unobstructed, panoramic views of the Animas Valley, Engineer Mountain, and the Needle Mountains. Meticulously crafted, this mountain oasis features tranquil ponds, water features, and hidden serene spots ideal for sipping your morning coffee, unwinding with a book, meditating, or enjoying an evening cocktail. And the views? Photo-worthy from every direction. Designed to embrace Colorado’s abundant sunshine, the home welcomes you with floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows that flood the interior with natural light. Offering 4,887 square feet of living space, the home includes 4 spacious bedrooms, an office, and 4 bathrooms—providing ample room for a growing family or visiting guests. The chef’s kitchen is a true standout, with stunning granite countertops, an island for food prep, a 6-burner JennAir range with a custom hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler, trash compactor, KitchenAid microwave, wall oven, and two separate pantries. As the heart of the home, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room and the expansive living room, which opens to the deck, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Adjacent to the living area is a bright "green room," where your green thumb will flourish—ideal for growing veggies, exotic plants, or simply bringing the outdoors in. The main level also includes a generous primary suite with a full bath, a mudroom/laundry room, and access to an oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, you'll find another large primary suite with a private bath, an office, two additional bedrooms, and two more bathrooms. The spacious den can easily serve as an office, workout area, or entertainment/game room. Every room in this custom home is thoughtfully designed with large windows to bring the natural beauty of the surroundings inside. For outdoor enthusiasts, Durango offers endless adventure, and this property is no exception. In addition to the attached two-car garage, there’s a detached garage ideal for storing bikes, skis, kayaks, paddleboards, ATVs, or ranch equipment. The property itself is equally impressive. A short drive or walk leads you to the valley below, where you can stock your pond with fish and enjoy the peaceful sounds of the nearby stream. The lush valley floor is perfect for grazing horses, while elk and other wildlife frequently roam the area. With every changing season, the landscape transforms—snow-capped peaks in winter, vibrant fall colors in the cottonwoods and aspens, bright green perennials, and blooming flowers in the summer. Quick access to the National Forest is right at your doorstep, via Missionary Ridge Road. This scenic route is perfect for ATVs, bicycles, motorcycles, jeeps, and horses, and it leads directly to Henderson Lake and the Weminuche Wilderness trailhead. This is a truly unique property that cannot be replicated. We’re honored to present it and encourage you to schedule your showing today!
