Description

Experience mountain living at its finest in this award-winning retreat, nestled within the gated community of Castle Rock Mountain Village. Perfectly positioned just 2 miles south of Purgatory Ski Resort, 25 miles north of Durango, and 5 miles from Glacier Club, the property strikes an ideal balance between seclusion and convenience — offering paved access, direct national forest access, and year-round recreation right outside your door. Perched at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac among towering aspens, this multi-level home was designed for grand gatherings without sacrificing warmth or intimacy. It comfortably sleeps 22 and flows effortlessly across three distinct den areas, each offering its own character and comfort. The sellers are including the adjacent one-acre parcel in the purchase price, bringing the total lot size to just over two acres — an exceptional value and a rare opportunity for added privacy or future use. From the moment you enter through the custom-crafted front door, the grandeur of this home is undeniable — cathedral ceilings soar overhead while an expansive wall of east-facing windows bathes the open-concept great room in morning light. The thoughtfully designed layout unites the living room, formal dining room, and gourmet kitchen, which boasts rich granite countertops, premium stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, and a generously sized island ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The covered rear patio was made for long evenings and lively gatherings, where an elevated stone fire ring anchors a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a gas grill and smoker, stovetop burners, and a refrigerator. Extensive river rock landscaping frames the home on all sides, creating natural beauty while providing excellent defensible space. Snow melt systems on the roof, in front of the garage doors, and beneath the front steps ensure effortless mountain living through even the deepest winters. The walkout lower level offers two spacious bedroom suites, an additional bathroom, generous storage, and a recreation room outfitted with a pool table, fireplace, card table, and big-screen TV — a true retreat within a retreat. Occupying its own private level, the primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, with windows on all sides, a spa-inspired bath with fireplace and jetted tub, and a private deck with a hot tub framing sweeping mountain views. The upper loft rounds out the home with a flexible office space, a cozy sitting area, and a charming bunk room with its own half bath. Whether you're hosting a full family reunion or simply savoring a quiet morning in the aspens, this premier mountain estate delivers the space, the setting, and the soul to make every season unforgettable.
