About this property

Secluded Cabin on 132 Acres, 2 Miles to Purgatory Ski Area

Our 1100 Sq ft, 3 bedroom, 3 bath, custom home was completely remodeled in 2013 and offers the most privacy and seclusion of any property near Purgatory as it sits on 132 acres, yet is less then 2 miles from the ski resort and 25 miles from downtown Durango. VRBO Listing 716605 is also on the property (1/4 mile away) and features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeps 6, if your group is bigger than our 3 bedroom alone can accommodate.

The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The main living space features a 50 inch flat screen TV and wood burning fireplace (wood provided).

The master bedroom has a king size bed, the other two bedrooms both have queen beds.

The property borders the Weminuche national Forest on the North and East, which is the largest and most unused wilderness area in the continental U.S. Their are numerous lakes and ponds on the property, and a road to higher elevations where the views of the surrounding mountains and lakes are spectacular. It is common to see moose, bear, deer, elk, snow shoe hares, ducks, geese, turkey, coyote, marmot, and the occasional mountain lion. All of the pictures in the listing were taken from the property.

A 4WD/AWD with good tires is required late November through March. If you plan to drive a vehicle not so equipped, please book elsewhere. Although the roads are extremely well maintained, we want to ensure our neighbors are not adversely impacted by our guests who may not regularly drive on snow packed roads.

Lastly, we love dogs, and they are totally welcome as long as they are well behaved and get along with people and other dogs. Our Black Labrador Sky runs free on the property.

About the host

Hosted by Sean McCormack

Host profile image
Sean grew up in the area, skiing every weekend at Purgatory, and graduating from Durango High School before leaving to experience life outside this rural community. After 25 years, he and his girlfriend decided to move back to the mountains of Southwest Colorado to be close to family and all of the outdoor activities they enjoy.

Why they chose this property

This area is the Saudi Arabia of solar energy, with plenty of water and lots of trees. It is easy to build a comfortable and highly sustainable life here. All of the houses, barns, and greenhouses were built using wood harvested from the property. The 27' x 110' greenhouse provides fruits and vegetables not only for Sean and his lady, but for a number of other families in the area. Standing dead trees are harvested and provide a backup heat source for all the homes and buildings on the property, with an additional 120 cords of wood harvested for sale, providing a carbon neutral source of heat. The trees are harvested primarily to improve the health of the forest.

What makes this property unique

There is nothing better than cozying up to a real wood fire after a full day of skiing, watching the snow fall during the winter, or lounging on the covered deck and watching the sun disappear over the mountains during the summer. The kids will have a great time exploring the forest, fishing in the nearby creeks or lakes, biking, horseback riding or the many other activities close by.
