Imagine finding a slice of paradise nestled between the vibrant community of Bayfield and the historic charm of Durango, Colorado. This place isn't just any spot on the map; it's a serene hideaway for those who crave peace without sacrificing the convenience of city life. Imagine sipping your morning coffee, the only sounds you hear are the gentle munching of your horse (if that's your vibe) and the soft whispers of snowflakes kissing the evergreen pine needles. Yeah, that's the kind of tranquility that words barely do justiceâ'you've got to feel it to believe it. The natural wood of the home, with the large vaulted ceiling, with exposed beams, with the fireplace roaring, makes for your perfect haven. And donâ't worry about stoking the fire all night for heat because the Vermont casting is highly efficient and if it ever dips below your optimal temperature, there is hot water heating also available. Now, let's talk about perks. We're talking less than 20 minutes from the lively streets of Bayfield and under 30 to the heart of Durango. The best part? You're close enough to enjoy all the amenities but far enough to maintain that blissful sense of seclusion. The home itself? Pure functionality meets rustic charm, with four bedrooms, two full baths, and an in-suite office in the primary bedroom that could easily double as your dream walk-in closet. Picture this: having your guest waking up in the upstairs bedroom and stepping out onto your private balcony deck, or hosting the ultimate BBQ on the massive main-level deck. Horse lovers, get this: the property boasts a top-notch setup with a large fenced area, shelter with hay storage, and a fully enclosed feed room. Where the hen house and greenhouse is, used to be a grated and already flat area for a riding arena. Plus, there's no shortage of spacious sheds for all your storage needs.Want a farm? Oh yeah.. The hen house, and the green house could be included if thatâ's what you wish. Our seller's top pick? Hiking over to the driveway on the other side of the property. It's the perfect spot for a second build, with a roughed-in route already in place. It's common around here to have multiple homes on a property, and this spot's ripe for it. So, if you're about that balanceâ'where tranquility meets convenience, where the natural beauty of Bayfield meets the cultural heartbeat of Durangoâ'this is it. Your slice of Colorado heaven, where every day feels like a retreat from the hustle without ever being too far from the action. Last tid bit - this home isn't ALL log, so lucky for you all that chinking and maintenance is minimal as it is a stick built home, with half cut logs for the siding. This is HUGE for efficiency and maintenance. But gives you that 'Yellowstone' feel.
