Welcome to this meticulously crafted 4,397 sq ft residence, gracefully set on 11.26 acres within a private, gated enclave of just six homes. Designed by renowned architect Dallas Reynolds, built by Gary Whalen, and blessed by Eddie and Betty Box of the Southern Ute Tribe, this exceptional property masterfully blends artistry, functionality, with the unique feature of an elevator, and comfort in every thoughtful detail. A flagstone patio and circular paved driveway create an inviting approach to this one-of-a-kind home. The main level opens to an elegant foyer, which leads to the open living room and kitchen offering tranquil views of the Ponderosa pines and the La Plata Mountains beyond. Art niches with recessed lighting provide subtle design accents throughout. Off the main hallway you'll find a private office, a convenient half bath, and a spacious laundry room complete with a utility sink. The primary suite serves as a luxurious retreat, featuring an attached library and dual en-suite bathrooms—each with its own vanity and walk-in closet—connected by a custom-tiled walk-in shower, heated Toto toilet with bidet, and a relaxing whirlpool bathtub. A king-sized bed with custom headboard, accent lighting, and matching side tables remains with the home, having been designed specifically to complement the space. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with mahogany floors crafted from reclaimed Indonesian railroad ties, double wall ovens, a warming drawer, a five-burner cooktop with downdraft vent, microwave, and a double-drawer Fisher-Paykel dishwasher. Custom cherry cabinetry and tile countertops with two butcher block insets add both beauty and practicality. A covered deck—piped for a gas grill—offers the perfect setting for outdoor dining. The adjacent living room features a wood-burning fireplace with raised hearth, wet bar, and integrated ceiling speakers connected to a central hub for whole-home audio. An elevator conveniently services both levels of the home, enhancing accessibility and ease of living. Step lights along the staircase and dimmer switches throughout ensure comfort and ambiance. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, each with a private sink, vanity, marble shelf, and thoughtfully placed reading lights above the beds. A full shared bathroom is located between them. One of the home’s standout features is the expansive studio space—an inspiring environment for an artist, physical trainer, home gym, or any skilled professional—flooded with natural light from a wall of windows overlooking the peaceful pines. This space includes its own sink and offers endless potential as a creative workshop, fitness studio, dance room, game room, or additional living room. Throughout the home, stained and polished concrete floors with in-floor radiant heat are paired with a separate forced-air cooling system for year-round comfort. Additional features include a central vacuum system, under-stair storage, and a variety of custom built-ins designed for both beauty and functionality. The attached three-car garage includes a dedicated workshop bay equipped with multiple outlets, 220V power, an air compressor (included with the home), and newly finished epoxy flooring. A detached one-car garage with 220V power provides the perfect setup for woodworking or additional hobbies, complemented by an adjacent rear storage shed for tools and equipment. Set within a peaceful, well-maintained gated community with reliable road care and snow removal, this property ensures effortless year-round access and ease of living. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife right outside the door, while enjoying the recreational amenities of nearby Lake Nighthorse and conveniences of historic downtown Durango, both just minutes away.
