Tucked at the end of a quiet road on 23.2 private acres, this custom home delivers the seclusion and privacy that are hard to find just minutes from downtown Durango and Lake Nighthorse. Ponderosa pines frame the land, thoughtfully mitigated for wildfire. That same philosophy carries inside, where walls over 12 inches deep deliver superior insulation, energy efficiency, and a naturally fire-resistant build. Inside, warm wood floors and southern exposure fill the home with light. Rich hardwood doors and trim reflect the quality and craftsmanship found throughout. The living room, kitchen, and dining room are finished with tongue-and-groove wood ceilings that add warmth and character to the heart of the home. On cool Colorado evenings, the wood-burning stove pulls everyone in, and large glass doors open to a slate patio and private fenced lawn. The La Plata Mountains are visible from the dining room, and views of the southern ridgeline stretch across the backyard. The 2021 kitchen remodel features soapstone countertops and a large island that flows into the dining area, a kitchen built for the way people live and gather. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet, soaking tub with a view of the pines, and dual vanities. A sun-drenched passive solar foyer, main-level office, large flex room, and two private bedroom wings give the home a thoughtful ease. The oversized garage includes a wash station that earns its keep after every hike, ride, or muddy afternoon. Central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable through the warm Colorado summers. The 2022 Morton barn keeps everything tucked away and out of sight: tools, gear, and all the extras. Trails wind through the property, right out the back door. Paddleboarding at Lake Nighthorse and Main Avenue are all minutes away. 23.2 acres, end of the road, and Durango right around the corner.
