Property Description

Enjoy the convenience of newly completed subdivision roads finished with recycled asphalt, enhancing both accessibility and the neighborhood's appeal. 35 Acres Just 10 Minutes from Downtown Durango - A Combination That Simply Does Not Exist Anymore. Situated on a pristine 35-acre parcel only minutes from Downtown Durango, this 2020 Grandt Custom Home offers exceptional privacy, sweeping ridgeline views, and remarkable flexibility in an unmatched setting. Nestled in the pines within a gated community, this mountain-modern retreat captures expansive views of surrounding mountain ridges, dramatic summer storms, and some of the most vibrant sunsets Durango has to offer. Short-term rentals are allowed, and the land permits two additional residences, creating an opportunity for a private estate, family compound, or long-term investment. The thoughtfully designed 2,234 square-foot residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a separate lower-level living area. The oversized 846-square-foot acid-stained two-car garage connects to a private suite complete with kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, laundry, and direct outdoor access. More than 600 square feet of covered outdoor living spans three decks, including a spacious upper deck positioned to maximize mountain views and year-round indoor-outdoor living. Whether enjoying morning coffee, evening gatherings, or watching the sky ignite in color at sunset, the setting is both peaceful and unforgettable. Just off the main living area, a fully fenced side yard provides secure and convenient access for pets or children, a rare and practical feature on larger acreage properties. Beyond the yard, the 35-acre parcel offers usable terrain mixed with mature pine forest and a private trail system winding through the trees and along a seasonal ravine. Evening walks, trail runs, and quiet moments in nature are all available without ever leaving your property. Inside, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and warm teak hardwood floors anchor the living room, centered around a wood-burning stove and opening to a covered patio shared with the primary suite. The kitchen blends style and function with granite countertops, a stainless farmhouse sink, glass tile backsplash, limestone tile floors, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, generous prep space, and a built-in office nook. The adjacent dining area and breakfast bar make entertaining effortless. The main-level primary suite features private deck access and a spa-inspired bath with dual glass vessel sinks, granite counters, oversized dual-head shower, jetted soaking tub, and picture windows framing the landscape. A second en-suite bedroom offers privacy and a full bath. The laundry room includes cabinetry, a utility sink, a Samsung stackable washer and dryer, and access to the deck. The lower level is finished with warm stained concrete floors and lives like a separate residence, offering a spacious living room with natural light and pine views, a well-appointed kitchenette with wood cabinets and stainless appliances, a bedroom with bold accent wall, a beautifully finished full bath with custom tile shower and granite vanity, a dedicated laundry closet, and access to a third covered outdoor living area. Additional highlights include a 30+ GPM well permitted for three residences, a five-bedroom septic system, reverse osmosis and whole-house water treatment, a whole-house backup generator, two-zone forced-air heating, an RV site with a 100-amp electrical pedestal, a fully fenced grassy yard, a seasonal ravine, and a minimal HOA. A newly built mountain-modern retreat on 35 acres, this close to town, is truly irreplaceable at this price.
