Experience "Whispering Pines Ranch" a Colorado ranch estate that combines timeless craftsmanship, modern sophistication, and the beauty of all four seasons. Perfectly positioned between Durango and Pagosa Springs, and just minutes from Bayfield, this 55-acre Ponderosa Pine filled sanctuary offers rare privacy, seamless access to the San Juan National Forest, and a lifestyle where elegance meets adventure. The 5,000 sq. ft. plus residence has been designed through the artistry of a master cabinet maker and the vision of an interior designer. Every finish reflects quality and intention—custom walnut cabinetry, new Anderson windows, designer lighting, and rustic flavor. A thoughtful split-level design allows for versatile living, whether hosting extended family, offering private guest quarters, or enjoying the space as a multi-generational retreat. The newly added primary suite is a true sanctuary with heated floors, an expansive dressing room, and a spa-inspired bath. Additional comforts include a sauna, heated tile floors, a new front deck, and a private rear deck with a hot tub—perfect for soaking beneath Colorado’s starlit skies. While the home is extraordinary, the barn is nothing short of magnificent. Completely reimagined, it now serves as a unique gathering place—equal parts rustic and refined. With exquisite woodwork, a custom bar, fireplace, and expansive recreational space, it’s ideal for hosting celebrations, intimate evenings with friends, or simply relaxing after a day on the trails. This remarkable structure elevates the entire estate into a destination. Year-round enjoyment is at the heart of this property: spring days tending the greenhouse and raised beds, summer adventures in the forest, autumn evenings gathered by the barn’s fireplace, and winter nights by the wood-burning stove after skiing or snowshoeing. Complimentary amenities include equestrian facilities, a new garage, expansive shop, tractor port, chicken coop, and even a built-in horseshoe pit. All buildings feature new standing seam metal roofing for durability and timeless style. Nature and recreation define the estate. A private pond draws abundant wildlife—wild turkey, deer, and majestic elk roam freely across the property. A dedicated private hiking trail meanders through the forest, creating year-round opportunities for exploration, from spring wildflowers to golden autumn aspens and quiet winter snowshoeing. This estate represents the pinnacle of Colorado living—luxury, seclusion, and the rare opportunity to own a property that is as functional as it is unforgettable.
