Nestled among towering ponderosa pines on 6.19 acres, this exceptional mountain retreatâ'with no HOA and an ADUâ'offers privacy, stunning views, and effortless one-level living just minutes from downtown Durango. The open-concept living area features soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace that creates a warm and inviting focal point. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with cherry cabinetry, an island with prep sink, and a seamless flow into the dining and living spaces. Off the kitchen you'll find an additional bedroom with a 3/4 bathroom across the hall. A dedicated office with built-ins and pellet stove is off the dining room. Down the hall from the kitchen is a pantry, second entrance to the office, the two car attached garage and a bonus room. The two car garage is extra deep with a workbench and built in shelving for all your gear. The bonus room has an ensuite 3/4 bath and can be used as a den and easily opens up for guests. It was previously used as a successful short-term rental. There is a separate patio off the den. On the other side of the house is the primary suite. It is a true sanctuary, where sunrise views can be enjoyed right from bed beneath a tongue-and-groove ceiling, complemented by picture windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with heated floors. Step outside the family and dining room to enjoy the spacious covered deck overlooking the surrounding forest and mountains and listen to the seasonal creek and the many birds, hawks and eagles. With views all the way to New Mexico and deer, wild turkeys and bears walking below you, grilling never gets old! Down the stone steps in the front of the house is a separate studio ADU offering its own private entrance, deck, parking area, and pellet stoveâ'creating excellent flexibility for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. The property also includes two covered carport spaces ideal for an RV or camper. With a high producing well and new well pump, you never need to worry about having enough water. National Forest trail access is less than a mile up the road with miles of trails to enjoy mountain biking or hiking. A road maintenance agreement provides Spring and Fall grading as well as snow removal. Recent improvements by the current owners include all new wood flooring, fresh paint throughout, new appliances (except oven/range), a new hot water heater, French drains, a new stone fireplace, concrete walkway, and custom built-in bookshelves in the office. This rare property seamlessly blends mountain serenity, modern comfort, and income opportunityâ'offering a truly one-of-a-kind Durango retreat.
