New Listing - Incredible Animas Valley Views from the House & Hot Tub!
This newly listed modern chalet home is perched high above the Animas Valley. Enjoy some of the best views in Durango, multiple hiking trails nearby, and numerous wildlife that pass by or fly over the property. This unique location allows you to feel like you are far from town, amidst the forest, red cliffs, with the option to watch the valley happenings below - including the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Train and the North Pole in November/December. We are just 10 minutes to downtown Durango, 25 minutes to the lifts at Purgatory, and down the road from Durango Hot Springs ~ 4 miles. Although, you can also enjoy a soak in the hot tub located on the expansive deck. This is a perfect location to relax and recharge while having easy access to all of the sights and activities of the Durango Area and the breathtaking San Juan Mountains.
We want to make you vacation relaxing and easy. We provide information about the area including grocery store recommendations, restaurants and things to do.
We also provide high end shampoo, conditioner, body soap, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap and other kitchen condiments so you avoid having to hassle with these little items.
We have top of the line linens with high thread counts, goose down pillows, goose down comforters for every bed with duvet covers laundered every house cleaning, top of the line and extremely comfortable mattresses to ensure a good sleep. We also provide blankets for outside use to enjoy the firepit along with hot tub/spa towels.

Why they chose this property
This home reminded us of our frequent trips to Switzerland with the extra ordinarily views of Animas Valley and mountains with views from almost every window in the home.
What makes this property unique
Great hiking directly from the house with a popular trail head starting right next to our home. The home also feels out in the woods with frequent wildlife visitors.
