Description

Unique, beautifully designed, extraordinary residence in rural north Durango countryside offers perfect balance of nature-inspired living and convenient access. Animas Valley natural beauty meets inviting living spaces within proximity of all things Durango. A long driveway to the houses gently rises through a field, then passes mature oak clusters, spreading junipers and towering Ponderosas as one enters this nine acre parcel on the east side of the pastoral county road. The home, sited at 7000 feet in elevation, is completely hidden from the road ensuring total privacy. It enjoys ideal feng shui. Protection and energy are gathered from the cliffs above, while peace and tranquility are assured by the meandering Animas River in the valley below. The south-facing entrance, guarded by two carved stone lions, coffers abundance. From the raised, glass-enclosed living/dining space expansive, beautiful views are captured in all directions. While the rocky cliffs loom high above, the 13,000 foot Twilight Peaks are seen far to the north. Celestial night skies seem close enough to touch. The residence is comprised of two remarkable buildings, two distinct living quarters that can be used as one. The main house has two bedrooms, living/dining room, kitchen family room, and two bathrooms. Steps away but separate is a two story studio/office/guest quarters with elevated bedroom and bath. Both buildings are thoughtfully positioned to embrace the surrounding landscapes, treetops, mountains, skies. New exterior paint, creative contemporary design, low maintenance landscaping, easy access paired with superb privacy, this property invites a slower pace and richer way of living. Conveniently located 5 minutes to grocery, hardware, golf club, tennis, pool and fine restaurant, and grade school, 15 minutes to town and college, 20 minutes to ski area and mountain sports.
