Description

Situated in the Durango Mountain Resort Tacoma Village, Unit 2, directly across from Purgatory Ski Area, this stunning two-story mountain home offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a spacious two-car garage. Backing to open space, Twilight Lake, and a serene pond, the property delivers year-round waterfront tranquility and dramatic views of Engineer Mountain and Purgatory Ski Area, enjoyed from both the yard and the covered back deck. From the front covered deck, take in sweeping views of Twilight Peaks and the West Needle Mountains. Ideally located across from Purgatory Resort, the home is within walking distance to the Purgatory Flats National Forest Trail and provides immediate access to hiking, biking, Nordic and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, and countless outdoor adventures within the San Juan National Forest and Weminuche Wilderness Area. Ownership includes membership in the Durango Mountain Master Association (DMMA), granting access to the exclusive Durango Mountain Club, featuring a private owners’ restaurant and lounge, family game room, spa, fitness center, tennis courts, swimming pool, and hot tub. Offered fully furnished (with a few exceptions), the home showcases large slate flooring in the entryway, kitchen, and hallway leading to the primary suite. The warm and rustic kitchen features knotty wood cabinetry, granite slab countertops, breakfast bar, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and pantry storage. Stylish lighting and an abundance of windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting the rough-sawn hardwood flooring and open living areas. The den/living room features a full wall of windows with breathtaking views of Purgatory Ski Resort, a rock-finished fireplace with gas insert, hand-hewn wood beam mantel, slate hearth seating, and a large big-screen TV—perfect for gathering with family and friends. Architectural highlights include hand-hewn post-and-beam accents, knotty aspen tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings, and wrought-iron stair and loft railings. A bonus room adjacent to the loft provides additional sleeping space with a cozy mountain charm. After a day of adventure, enter directly from the two-car garage, parking your bike or skis, and enter into a convenient mudroom with bench seating—ideal for taking off all your outdoor gear. Although never used as a vacation rental, this home presents excellent income-producing potential as a short-term rental, subject to DMMA and La Plata County guidelines.
