Perched at 8,200 feet on 6.19 private acres surrounded by towering ponderosa pines, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat offers breathtaking views, peaceful privacy, and comfortable one-level living just minutes from downtown Durango. With no HOA, cool summer evenings, abundant wildlife, and National Forest access less than a mile away, this is Colorado living at its finest. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive windows fill the open-concept living space with natural light while framing spectacular mountain vistas. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchors the living room, creating a warm gathering place in every season. The kitchen features rich cherry cabinetry, an island with prep sink, generous workspace, and flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The thoughtfully designed main level offers two bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite tucked into its own private wing. Wake to sunrise views from bed beneath the tongue-and-groove ceiling, then enjoy a spa-inspired bath with heated travertine floors, a walk-in closet, and oversized windows that bring the outdoors in. A second bedroom and nearby 3/4 bath provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. A dedicated office with custom built-ins and a pellet stove offers an inspiring work-from-home space, while the adjacent bonus room with its own ensuite bath and private patio provides exceptional flexibility as a den, guest retreat, hobby room, or media space. The oversized attached two-car garage offers built-in shelving for all your gear and a workbench for your projects. Step outside to the expansive covered deck and soak in panoramic views stretching all the way to New Mexico. Listen to the seasonal creek below while hawks soar overhead and deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional bear wander through the property. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or grilling with friends, every day feels like vacation. A separate walk-out studio ADU with its own entrance, deck, parking area, and pellet stove adds tremendous versatility for guests, multigenerational living, rental income, or creative space. Two additional covered carports provide excellent storage for an RV, camper, or outdoor toys. Practical features include a high-producing well with a new well pump, French drains, and a road maintenance agreement providing seasonal grading and winter snow removal. The current owners have thoughtfully updated the home with new wood flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, new appliances (excluding the range), a new water heater, a stunning stacked stone fireplace, custom office built-ins, and a new concrete walkway. Private, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, this is more than a home—it's a mountain sanctuary where spectacular views, modern comfort, and endless outdoor adventure come together.
