About this property
Luxury Home | Mountain Views, Outdoor Fireplace | 1 Mile to Purg
NOTE: 4WD/AWD required in winter with snow tires (Thanksgiving through late March). Chains can be rented in the neighborhood for $30/day.
Spectacular mountain views and wooded privacy between Durango and Purgatory Resort. Spacious, comfortable, cozy, private and convenient are just a few of the words that accurately describe this newly constructed, mountain-contemporary home.
Some vacation homes offer a comfortable respite after the day’s activities and experiences, but Castle Rock Retreat is the kind of house, that to many, becomes part of the experience. This new home offers contemporary mountain decor, providing roomy comfort for up to eight guests with three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a well-equipped kitchen, multiple decks, welcoming living/dining room with TV, movie library, and games for the family, upstairs loft and home office with TV, and grand mountain views from windows and decks. The home features Starlink WIFI with average internet speeds are around 100mbs which allows for multiple devices to streaming content (the home features Hulu for live TV/Sports).
One of the home’s most unique features is the covered deck with outdoor furniture and gas fireplace, with remarkable views of the Hermosa Cliffs. This home is located within about a seven-minute drive to Purgatory Resort, about 30 minutes from downtown Durango and the Durango Train, and Mesa Verde National Park is a scenic one-hour drive to the Southwest.
Please note that, like most properties in the area, this home does not have AC, as it is uncommon for homes at this elevation. Temperatures inside the property are easily managed by using fans and opening the windows at night when temperatures drop into the 40s.
The mountain view from the kitchen and adjacent bar area, is of Engineer Mountain. One of the area’s iconic peaks, the 12,968 foot mountain is a popular hiking and mountain biking area in summer and passed by all travelers on the famous San Juan Scenic Byway when driving to the town of Silverton and beyond.
Bed Configuration:
Master Bedroom - King Bed with ensuite bath (Main level)
2nd Bedroom - King bed (Upper Level)
3rd Bedroom - Bunk beds with full-sized bed and three twins beds (Upper level)
Please note there is a security camera outside on the front of the home to monitor snow. It is motion detected and pointed high to see driveway and road. There are no other cameras inside the home. There is no access to the detached garage. The home is not pet friendly so please do not bring your pets.
Book at least a week and a 10% discount is automatically applied (Excludes Christmas/New Years).
Stay with us and we offer DISCOUNTS on both summer (white water rafting, horseback riding etc.) and winter (ski/snowboard rentals, sleigh rides, snowmobile tours etc.) activities.
