Set against an extraordinary backdrop of the San Juan Mountains, 217 Scotch Creek Drive is a newly built luxury residence where exceptional craftsmanship, sophisticated mountain-modern design, and breathtaking views converge. Built by Elevation Custom Home Builders, this exceptional property captures some of the most stunning and unobstructed views of the Needles, with expansive glass framing the dramatic peaks and surrounding alpine landscape. Located within the private, gated Castle Rock community just minutes from Purgatory Ski Resort, the setting is as remarkable as the home itself. A cliffside backdrop, adjacent open prairie, mature aspens, and filtered views toward Electra Lake create an extraordinary sense of privacy and connection to nature, while the home’s thoughtful orientation maximizes both sunrise and mountain views. Inside, the architecture is defined by soaring ceilings, dramatic expanses of glass, warm white oak flooring, custom woodwork, and striking black metal detailing. The great room rises to an impressive 18-foot ceiling, anchored by a custom floor-to-ceiling white limestone fireplace and framed by enormous windows and a dramatic wall of glass that opens seamlessly to the expansive deck. A 9-foot glass slider disappears completely to create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The chef’s kitchen is equally impressive, featuring a large Perla White quartz island, custom cabinetry, brushed brass accents, a professional ILVE range and hood, 48-inch JennAir refrigerator/freezer, farmhouse sink, built-in microwave, coffee bar, and abundant storage. The adjoining living and dining spaces create an inviting setting for both intimate gatherings and entertaining on a grand scale. A custom built-in bar with wine refrigerator adds another layer of refinement. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, custom lighting, a feature wall, generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring natural stone, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass shower, dual vessel sinks, and beautifully appointed finishes. The lower level expands the home’s versatility with a second bedroom suite, large lounge, bunk room with two sets of adult-sized Twin XL beds, private office enclosed in glass, gym area, and additional flexible living space. A convenient mini kitchen and extensive storage make the lower level ideal for hosting family and guests. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, from solid 8-foot white oak interior doors and custom lighting to four-zone HVAC, heated and covered gutters, metal roofing, wired security cameras, sprinkler system, radon mitigation, comprehensive drainage systems, and remote-access technology. The oversized garage offers exceptional storage, a dedicated gear area, workbench, coat storage, and a high-ceiling configuration designed for mountain living. Outside, expansive decks and patios invite you to experience the landscape from every angle. The east-facing deck features Trex decking, a plumbed gas grill, and minimalist view railings, while the lower patio is plumbed for a future gas fireplace. The natural backyard blends seamlessly into the surrounding aspens and prairie and is frequently visited by elk. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a newly constructed luxury mountain residence in one of the Durango area’s most coveted settings—where the architecture is remarkable, the craftsmanship is undeniable, and the Needles provide an unforgettable backdrop every day.

Red rock cliffs frame the horizon to the west of the Tripp Creek Farmhouse located within the Animas River valley just 10 minutes north of Durango. This historic 1890 estate once served as a stagecoach stop between Durango and Silverton before becoming the original Hermosa post office. The owner has meticulously created a balance of modern living comfort and outdoor paradise. With air conditioning for comfortable summer living and in-floor radiant heat for the colder months, the home is designed for year-round comfort. The house sits proudly on a generous 1-acre lot, providing ample space for outdoor living within a Park-like setting. Offered fully furnished, this turnkey home sits under massive silver maples, blue spruce, aspens, and heirloom apple, pear, and cherry trees that attract wild turkey and mule deer. Expanded and remodeled, the kitchen/dining/living great room contains slate tile floors with in-floor radiant heat that stretches across an open floor plan anchored by huge, exposed timber beams. The kitchen features exposed brick walls, a stone apron sink, a breakfast nook, an oversized island and a blue LaCanche gas range/oven imported directly from France. Numerous windows and a pair of remote-controlled skylights allow both cool air and natural light to filter through this beautiful living space throughout the day. From this great room/main living area, a Dutch door opens to a stone patio with a built-in outdoor kitchen containing a gas grill and wood-fired pizza oven within a covered dining space. You can dine at a traditional redwood table or an elevated bar table that has a natural gas fire-pit center feature, all while enjoying the view of the backyard. Off the front/main entry, an open parlor room contains a full-sized shuffleboard and gaming table. The main-floor primary master bedroom suite includes a clawfoot soaking tub, walk-in glass shower, custom walk-in closet, and a private exit directly to the covered outdoor hot tub. A bonus feature of the home is the self-contained Carriage House suite upstairs, which can be accessed via its own private exterior entrance. This independent living space includes a dedicated kitchen, full bathroom, private elevated deck access, and a sofa that converts it into a temprapedic queen bed. The full acre property includes a stone-bordered pond, raised garden beds, meticulous landscaping, flagstone fire pit and a large treehouse nestled within one of the 100+ year old silver maple trees. The backyard also contains an irrigation canal that doubles as a creek and has a charming walking bridge connecting to an oversized RV parking pad. On the east side of the house there is a large fenced-in area for dogs, ensuring you can safely keep them contained when needed. The oversized two-car garage features an epoxy-finished flooring with extended depth for outdoor gear kept in either the storage closets or shelving space. Keeping with the pioneer tradition, there is a large basement, which could be used as an office, along with a custom cedar wine cellar and a separate vegetable cellar accessed from the kitchen nook floor. Here is an opportunity for your family to own a piece of history, while making lasting memories for your future generations to come.
