Property Description

Experience "Whispering Pines Ranch" a Colorado ranch estate that combines timeless craftsmanship, modern sophistication, and the beauty of all four seasons. Perfectly positioned between Durango and Pagosa Springs. Ponderosa Pine filled sanctuary offers rare privacy, seamless access to the San Juan National Forest, and a lifestyle where elegance meets country. The 5,000 sq. ft. plus residence has been designed through the artistry of a master cabinet maker and the vision of an interior designer. Every finish reflects quality and intention—custom walnut cabinetry, new Anderson windows, designer lighting, and rustic flavor. A thoughtful split-level design allows for versatile living, whether hosting extended family, offering private guest quarters, or enjoying the space as a multi-generational retreat. The newly added primary suite is a true sanctuary with heated floors, an expansive dressing room, and a spa-inspired bath. Additional comforts include a sauna, heated tile floors, a new front deck, and a private rear deck with a hot tub—perfect for soaking beneath Colorado’s starlit skies. While the home is extraordinary, the barn is nothing short of magnificent. Completely reimagined, it now serves as a unique gathering place—equal parts rustic and refined. With exquisite woodwork, a custom bar, fireplace, and expansive recreational space, it’s ideal for hosting celebrations, intimate evenings with friends, or simply relaxing after a day on the trails. This remarkable structure elevates the entire estate into a destination. Year-round enjoyment is at the heart of this property: spring days tending the greenhouse and raised beds, summer adventures in the forest, autumn evenings gathered by the barn’s fireplace, and winter nights by the wood-burning stove after skiing or snowshoeing. Complimentary amenities include equestrian facilities, a new garage, expansive shop, tractor port, chicken coop, and even a built-in horseshoe pit. All buildings feature new standing seam metal roofing for durability and timeless style. Nature and recreation define the estate. A private pond draws abundant wildlife—wild turkey, deer, and majestic elk roam freely across the property. A dedicated private hiking trail meanders through the forest, creating year-round opportunities for exploration, from spring wildflowers to golden autumn aspens and quiet winter snowshoeing. This estate represents the pinnacle of Colorado living—luxury, seclusion, and the rare opportunity to own a property that is as functional as it is unforgettable. An additional contiguous two parcels of approximately 18 acres each may be available for purchase.
