Description

Magnificent 35-acre equestrian property with a gorgeous custom craftsman-style 3934 sq.ft. home with the views of the La Plata Mountains, Perins Peak and San Juans in the background. Be sure to watch the video! Located in the Durango Ridge Ranch gated community - only 20-minutes from downtown Durango. End of the road privacy backing up to over 3000 acres of State of Colorado land/Perins Peak State Wildlife Area. You will have access to Perins Peak wildlife area directly from the subdivision for riding, hiking or even elk and deer hunting. The residence features 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a 2-car attached heated garage, a potting room/fly shop and storage room. The current owners contracted with Mantell-Hecathorn builders in 2017 to construct a premium 36x36 equestrian barn. The home is constructed of Rastra block - an insulated concrete form made of 85% recycled materials with an R-value of 40+ and rammed earth interior accent walls. All interior walls are venetian plaster; all interior doors are solid wood and hand finished. There is an excellent water well drilled by Beeman Drilling in 2005. The owners have made many improvements and upgrades to the property including: rail perimeter fence, outdoor hot tub with custom tables on a TREX deck, extensive landscaping, a chip sealed driveway with a concrete apron, and a new rainwater cistern pump. The owners also recently replaced the following: boiler, hot water heater, pressure tank, garage door openers, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, cooktop with hood, gutters, and more. After a drive through what is known as "the enchanted forest, the house and barn come into view with Silver Mountain in the background. The red flagstone walk leads to the front door and into the entry hallway that opens to the living area. The living area has an aspen tongue and groove ceiling with Douglas fir cross-beams. A hand-cut sandstone wood-burning fireplace with gas starter provides warmth. The cozy reading nook/library with another wood burning fireplace is going to be your favorite place! French doors lead to the north facing covered patio! The chef's kitchen features Ponderosa ceilings with reclaimed oak beams, granite countertops with a rough edge finish, Brazilian Cherry cabinets with a built-in pantry and desk, and stainless-steel appliances. The laundry room offers abundant cabinets, Maytag washer/dryer, and a utility sink. The private master suite is an oasis in relaxation! It offers bamboo flooring, an earth block accent wall with a built-in platform for a king size bed, a walk-in closet and a door leading to the hot tub deck. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, and a Japanese soaking tub with a carved accent wall and floor tiled with tumbled travertine marble with slate accents. The upper level opens to the game/family room with bamboo flooring, wet bar, fridge and built-in oak cabinets; the fun shuffleboard is staying with the home! On this level you will also find a full bath, an ensuite guest bedroom, and another bedroom. The barn, built in 2017, is 36 ft x 36 ft with two twelve-foot overhangs - one outside the stalls in the dry lot, the other providing covered trailer storage and a 30-amp electrical outlet. The barn has a 12-foot center aisle, three horse stalls, a tack room with stairs that lead to the second level, a hot and cold wash rack with hose boom and heat lamp, and a kitchen with cabinets, microwave, refrigerator, hot and cold water and baseboard heat and a toilet. All stalls have mats and two stalls have freeze proof "water fountains". The top level of the barn can be used for hay, storage or workout area. Next to the barn is a flat, dry lot for your horses. The property has approximately a 1.7 acre fenced pasture area for turn-out. A custom built and meticulously maintained home, you will find yourself enjoying friends and family in one of the most beautiful settings in Durango!
