Escape to a beautifully remodeled private mountain home just outside Durango, where breathtaking La Plata Mountain views, three private acres, and easy access to the San Juan National Forest create an unforgettable Southwest Colorado retreat. With the mountains seemingly right outside every window, a covered patio, pool table, wood-burning stove, and high-speed WiFi, this spacious home offers a peaceful setting for both adventure and relaxation, less than 15 minutes from historic downtown Durango.
Set at the entrance to the San Juan National Forest, the property puts an incredible range of outdoor experiences close at hand. Spend your days hiking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, or exploring nearby ATV and off-road trails. During the winter, La Plata Canyon becomes a destination for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and dog sledding. Scenic drives, wildlife viewing, and photography are also easy to enjoy from this beautiful mountain setting.
Start your mornings on the covered patio with a cup of coffee and sweeping views of the La Plata Mountains. The three-acre property provides plenty of space to enjoy the quiet surroundings, and wildlife frequently visits the area, including deer, elk, wild turkeys, and foxes. Whether you're watching the mountains change throughout the day or relaxing outside after an adventure, the outdoor setting is one of the home's standout features.
Inside, the newly remodeled home combines modern comfort with a warm mountain atmosphere. Gather around the wood-burning stove after a day outdoors, challenge your group to a game of pool, or settle in for a movie while staying connected with high-speed WiFi. The spacious living areas provide plenty of room to relax together while enjoying the surrounding mountain scenery.
The gourmet kitchen is designed for everything from a quick breakfast to a full holiday dinner, with a premium gas range, modern appliances, beautiful countertops, and the equipment you need to prepare meals at home. Gather around the dining area for dinner together, then spend the evening relaxing by the stove or competing for bragging rights at the pool table.
When you're ready to explore Durango, historic downtown is less than 15 minutes away. Spend the day discovering local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, bakeries, galleries, and live music, or take a ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. The surrounding region also makes it easy to plan a day trip to Mesa Verde National Park or head north to Purgatory Resort for skiing and snowboarding.
Outdoor adventures extend in every direction, from rafting, tubing, kayaking, and fishing along the Animas River to hiking and mountain biking through the surrounding mountains. Golf courses, horseback riding, Jeep tours, scenic mountain drives, and additional recreational opportunities provide plenty of ways to experience Southwest Colorado.
Dining options are also conveniently close. Kennebec Café is just down the road, while downtown Durango offers a wide variety of restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and bakeries. For another dining option, the town of Mancos is approximately 15 minutes in the opposite direction.
