About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled within the inviting community of Falls Creek Ranch in Southwest Durango, Colorado, this exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of luxury and leisure. This three-bedroom, two and half bath sanctuary spans joust over 2,786 square feet, harmoniously blending modern comfort with rustic elegance. Stepping inside, the home welcomes you with the timeless allure of travertine tile and radiant floor heating that envelops you in warmth and comfort. Natural light cascades through the many windows including a windowed cupola as the crowning jewel at the roofline. You'll admire the exquisite alder wood doors, cabinets and trim that tastefully adorn the open concept downstairs. Alder wood accent walls in each room create a seamless connection with the surrounding natural beauty, inviting you to unwind and reconnect with the serene landscape. The heart of the home, the kitchen and full dining room, beckons with a moveable island and a layout designed for effortless gatherings and culinary delights. You'll also stay warm with the heat of the high-end wood stove on the crisp SW Colorado winter days. What sets this home apart is its magnificent surroundings and the exclusive amenities of the Falls Creek Ranch. This unique subdivision is structured in a way that each member owns a 1-acre parcel, with the remaining 840 acres as common property while being surrounded by National Forest for further enjoyment. This setup allows residents to enjoy a wealth of recreational opportunities right at their fingertips. Step outside, and you'll discover a private, 40-acre lake shimmering in the sunlight, inviting you to unwind and reconnect with nature. A tennis and pickleball court provide opportunities for friendly competition and social gatherings, while the private horse facilities offer equestrian enthusiasts a chance to explore the picturesque landscape on horseback. Miles of trails wind through the expansive common property offering endless possibilities for hiking, biking, and exploration. As you wander along these paths, you'll be treated to breathtaking views, wildlife and bird watching as a sense of tranquility sets in that can only be found in the idyllic setting. Experience the best of both worlds at Falls Creek Ranch - a secluded sanctuary that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle, yet conveniently located just a short drive (less than 20 minutes) from town. Embrace the open concept floor plan that encourages a sense of spaciousness and connection with nature, while the starlit sky above sets the stage for an evening filled with stargazing and relaxation. This home is not only a residence; it's a gateway to a lifestyle of peace, natural beauty and outdoor adventure that converge to create a truly exceptional living experience.
